but I finally broke out the Oliva Serie-G I got from c-fest and wow was that a good cigar

obviously going to be some similarities in materials to the nub, cameroon wrapper, nicaragua filler, box press robust with a small ring gauge and I am very impressed

between my happiness with the nub and this one, oliva has bumped padron from the spot as my favorite manufacturer

The V's are becoming my all time favorite stick.
Gotta luv the nub tho.

That brings up a good question. Does Oliva have more than one type of cameroon/conn/habano plant it grows. Or does it use the same ones when blending it's cigars?

Don't know the answer to that question, but I do like the V's too especially the Double Toro.

The Serie G are great cigars, but I prefer the Serie V. Love the taste of the Habano wrapper

the habano wrapper has been just a little to strong for my taste

I find the strength of the Serie V creeps up on me. I dont notice it til towards the end of the final 3rd.

I call the V a medium cigar but I agree, it is on the strong side of medium and not for the faint of heart.

so naturally I have somebody give me a couple Os to try while working today, they were on a desk with no humidor though, need to hold off before I indulge

tried the V saturday, very pleased, I think I actually like that blend a bit more than I do the nub habano

The V needs a Nub variety!
I love the V. It is one of my top 5 cigars of all time.

My first real cigar was an Oliva Series G Special G. But I like the Series G Robusto, both Maduro and Cameroon. It took me a while to graduate to the Maduro.

My first Maduro a year ago had me turning green. But enjoyed a Series G Robusto Maduro with a Yuengling Porter this past weekend. Yummy!

That being said, my all time favorite is definitely my Nub Cameroon 466 BPT with a Yuengling Porter or with a Great Lakes Brewing Company's Seasonal Moondog ESB. Definitely an enjoyable mix with whichever beer you choose.

No Olivas available here, but I've managed to get my hands on a few Vs. Loved'em. Still got one in my humi, saving it for some good occasion. Gotta get more if me or a friend would have a trip to US. And some NUbs too, of course.
