That makes a lot more sense now, thx.

fwiw the V lancero and Figurado can be quite nice when I'm in the mood for 'em.

I like the Georges Reserve from Famous Cigars. Good flavor and construction. They run deals on them from time to time.

Physical/Virtual address of place you got these.. lol thats a crazy price I must get some.

I had G series which I did not care for, but my distaste may have been exaggerated. because of the temperature. Long story short: didn't like it much, but would be willing to try another.

I have enjoyed every Oliva I have tried 1 not at first but revisited it.

I love the V's

This man knows his Oliva's and I'm with him on this one! The MBs are good but IMO they aren't worth the extra money when comparing it to the Vs.

Have you compared the OR lancero V's to the new batches? To me there is a difference.

e-man67 · 01-19-2011, 07:46 AM

All the Cains are good (especially the F) and all pre 2010 V maduros are good (the new one with the mexican wrapper is not very good).

I would assume no because I started trying lanceros this year. What year is the OR for the V lancero and which do you prefer?

The original V Lancero came out I want to say mid 2007. It's easily recognizable and you may have smoked one without knowing it. The OR V's have no cello.

I prefer the OR V. Maybe it's all in my mind

but I think they taste more refined and less spicy.

I really like the Master Blend #3

Master Blend is a great cigar with the proper aging.
In fact, most of their sticks are good when aged. I've never had one that I enjoyed right out of the cello

the v is great i knew there was one i would like

01-18-2011, 07:25 AM

The V lancero is a great smoke!!

STEVE S · 01-18-2011, 07:34 AM

The V and the Master Blend are my favorites now, but if I could get my hands on the red cloth bands again I would be in haven!!

01-18-2011, 01:15 PM

The V Maduro and V Lancero are some of my favs... the rest of them I could go without

Sled Dog · 01-18-2011, 03:50 PM

Just curious... how long do you guys let your Olivas sit in the humi before lighting them up. It seems to me anyway the the Serie V and O are a little more sensitive and need that sitting time. I like to give them at least 2 1/2 months in the humi

The Connecticut Reserve is one of my favorite Connies, and I like the Special G size in the Serie G.
