Oliva Serie V Maduro

I certainly wouldn't let the tar issue affect your overall impression of this line in the Oliva family of cigars too terribly much.

Case in point: The first Rocky Patel Decade I smoked was a torpedo out of a fresh box at a B&M in Huntsville, AL. I remember telling Robin, the shop owner, how disappointed I was in the obscene amount of tar that continued to build up...even after purging the thing three times. I purchased another one and decided to let it rest in my humi at home for a little while....one month later, and it smoked as gloriously as I had always imagined them. Don't let this put ya off on the V Maddy too much right now....I agree with the guys above...a little rest goes a LONG way even though it's sometimes soooo tempting to smoke em right off the truck!
