The Cigar: Oliva Serie V Double Robusto (5.0 x 54)
The Hype: Also known as 'Ligero Especial', the Serie V from Oliva cigars is an enchanting Nicaraguan puro chock full of flavorful goodness. On the outside, a beautiful Habano Sun Grown wrapper glistens with oils. Thick and smooth as silk, this impressive leaf conceals a powerful, yet balanced and smooth blend of aged Nicaraguan ligero from the Jalapa Valley of Nicaragua. The Oliva Serie 'V" cigar is full-bodied and full-flavored, offering layers of coffee, spice, and tobacco flavors, with a touch of dark, unsweetened chocolate on the finish.
The Reviewers:

The Due Date: August 25, 2014

Lol....while I think I meet the criteria I'll just take my own advice and see if one of the new members would like to try one. I have a box of these cigars anyway which probably will let you know what I think about em but will sure like to read reviews from those who are picked...this should be a great review and a big thanks for Lumberjack for sponsoring this...it is surely a stand up thing to do for us as members who really reap the benefits.
Four reviewers chosen, one to go :biggrin:

Ello. What four you choose? :biggrin:
Seriously, I would be surprised if you can't get 5 that meet the criteria - this is a great cigar (not to sway the scores or anything). If you need a reliable, get 'er done and on time review, happy to smoke another!!! :angel:
Thanks guys, smokes should hit the mail tomorrow!
Look forward to its arrival and enjoyment,,,,,it will knock me out of the running for a newbie under two reviews though,,,,lmao,,, but I will suffer to help you all out,,,,lmao
Glad to see some new folks in on this one. :thumbsup:

My cigar(s) came in today. Great hitchhikers! I smoked the Rabito ROTT since you included a boveda. Gonna let the others rest. Thanks for hosting, Mr. Luko.
Got mine today. Thanx for the ride along's, very generous.
Mine came in too, but I'm traveling on business and can't see what the stowaways are! My wife sent a picture but didn't thing the band was an important detail! Looking forward to getting home for even more reasons now!
Mine arrived today with a few guards,,, thanks,,packing things up for the move Friday or Saturday,,,so busy,,,
I was worried they wouldn't get here before the move and have to wait the mail in Chicago area, you know the snow is about the fly soon,,,, so more delays,, crazy weather,,
Ok done rambling the cigars arrived safe, in the humidor and soon will enjoy the Oliva V,,,catch you guys next from further north, enjoy your smokes.. :biggrin:
Mine arrived today! Thanks for the hitchhikers, Jarred! :thumbsup: :dancing:

This will be my first geek review and I was having trouble figuring out where to post the review. As it turns out the link that was supposed to be on the member review page wasn't there for me, but Junglepete helped figure things out so now I'm all set. Planning on blocking out some time this weekend for the review and I'm really looking forward to it! Thanks again, Pete, for all the help!
I just completed this critique,,, thanks for the opportunity...
Glad everyone got theirs in safely, I am excited to see what your review are!
My review is in, Thanx for letting me participate.
My review is in now too, sorry to wait until the last second! Was a great smoke, thanks for letting me review it!
Last day to get your review in folk. Four in and one to go. :-)
