Oliva Serie O Torpedo Maduro
Ring Gauge- (6 x 52)
Wrapper- Nicaragua

Smoked this beauty last night after the depressing UGA performance. Hope they do better next week. Anyways back to the gar. Taking a look at it before doing anything you can see its just a beautiful dark rich looking cigar. This is what appealed to me in the shop. When I got back to my dorm last night I headed to my buddies room and he grabbed his stick out of the humi and we headed downstairs to the benches with our cokes, just in case. So I clipped the end a nice bit and took a draw before lighting. The intial taste was excellent, it had a good coffee and spice taste to it. Once I fired it up it the flavors changed to a nutty and a bit more spice. The second third was still spice but now earthy undertones. The last bit ended a little harsh with leathery taste and I didn't like it very much. The burn was really even all the way to the nub. The draw was a bit tough and I ended up clipping it after about 30 minutes. After clipping, it opened up and the draw was a lot better.Overall this was a pretty good cigar. I would recommend going out and picking up a single and trying it yourself.

Thanks for the review ttison. I have yet to try any Olivas stuff other than the Serie V torpedo. Tbh I wasn't really into the Serie V as much as some other folks I've heard from. I might just give this guy a try next time I head to my shop.
 
Yeah man I would def recommend at least trying it! You just have to mak sure you get a real good cut on it because the will get stopped up and the draw will not be good but other than that I thought it was pretty good.
 
I love some of Olivas offerings. The Serie V Maduro is awesome as is the Serie V Lancero.
 
My buddy was smoking a Serie V petit while I was smoking my serie O

Well I take that back it wasn't a petit just a Belicoso (5 x 54)
 
I am a big fan of Oliva. The serie G churchill box press maduro is also fantastic.
 
Hey Ttison, you ever been to Idaho? I heard they play football over there... :)
 
Haha yeah yeah man. Idk what happened to our boys, they just didn't show up. I mean they looked good in spurts but overall not very good. There is know explaination for their performance...

I haven't tried these yet but ill have to do that soon!
 
Never had a bad Oliva!

I bought a box of Serie O Maddie Churchills a few years ago and they just got better and better until, finally, I was very sad to smoke the last. :(

Ahh that is sad and I do imagine they age quite well!
 
I have one of these in my humidor. Can't wait to smoke it especially after your review. I have heard good things about the Olivas in general and this will be my first. If it wasn't in a 5 day rain out here I would be smoking that tonight.

Oh Ttison Penn State won... Just saying

I ended up smoking something else tonight instead. I figured I will wait for a nice day to really enjoy this cigar.

I gotcha man well its a good smoke for anytime so enjoy it when you fire it up!
 
Well I finally got around to smoking it tonight and was as impressed as I thought I would have been. It seemed not to burn evenly for me I don't know if you had this same problem. It wasn't as strong as I had thought it was going to be. It was still a decent cigar. I would like to try it again. Maybe I just got a bad stick.
 
Yeah I had a little problem with it burning even but I just made a correction with my lighter and it burned even the rest of the time. I also clipped mine again about half way through because of the tar build up but it really wasn't a bad build up.
 
I had no problem with tar build up. Like I had stated the only real problem I had was with it staying lit. I had to relight it a few times it seemed.
