Oliva Serie V Double Robusto Preview
Tonight I received a very special cigar from Miami, Florida. I ordered a box of Oliva Serie V Double Robusto when I received www.bestcigarprices.com email promotion two weeks ago which they said they only have four boxes in stock. It went for $111.00 and I ordered a box and had it shipped to Miami since they don’t ship it to Canada with my instructions.
I first tried the Oliva Serie V Double Robusto and Topedo in January and immediately noticed the complexity of this cigar.
Oliva Serie V idea started from Oliva fans asking for more body in the cigars. Oliva responded with working on the blend which ended up in Oliva Serie V which in my opinion did not reach the full body level but sure brought alot of complexity.
The taste has lots of sweetness with coffee, coco and a long finish which goes all the way well into the last third. I think Oliva Serie V has one of the best cigar constructions in the world and in some cases better than some cuban cigars.
I also ordered a Oliva sampler box which comes with a Oliva Serie V Torpedo priced at $27.00 from www.showmeyourash.com. I have tried Oliva Serie G Moduro and so far I did not like it but looking forward to try the rest of the samplers.

I got the Oliva sampler too, and I definitely liked 2 cigars : the O Perfecto Natural for its almost cuban complexity, smooth taste and perfect construction & the G Belicoso Maduro, for its chocolate dark coffee, really a dessert cigar like the Cohiba Maduro 5.
For the price, Oliva cigars are extremely great value.
