Title: Oliva Series V Melanio Maduro Torpedo 2013
Post by: tvolball on 08/12/2013 01:40 PM
Anybody want to do a split on a box of 10 with me. Let's call it and even $60 for a fiver and shipping to anywhere south of the border. It would be a little more north of the border

Picked up a box of these a few weeks back at my local B&M - they're good.  You'll be able to smoke all 10.

I had my 1st one this weekend. It rates in the top 3 for me. They are great

Well I pulled the trigger this morning. $111 including shipping from Emerson's Cigars plus when I checked out they threw in a 5 pack Oliva sampler with a lighter. I figure it's worth about $30. If you guys haven't tried one of these you need to. They have some fantastic flavors to offer and it's not super full bodied. Very good stick!

I just picked up a box of these on a road trip down to Oregon.   Had one last night, wow what a great smoke.   I would highly recommend you pick up a box of these.  Has definitely made my top 5 of cigars.

Does anybody elese want to get in on some of these? I'll order as many as needed. I'm telling you, these are really killer sticks. They have some great flavor and they are not overly harsh.

Joe, I am a medium to medium full guy. I can't take the hard core full stuff. These are some of the best sticks I have ever smoked hands down. They are not too full for me but everybodys taste and tollerence is different but they seem to be ok to me.

I just picked up a single earlier this week.  I buried it in the humi so I wouldn't smoke it right away...

I got a Melanio figurado in a recent MAW PIF.  Excellent.   Oliva knows how to make cigars with great flavor and balance.
