Smoked this last night. Enjoyable. Quite earthy flavour, with coffee and toffee notes. Very nice burn and easy draw. Quite high smoke output. Leaves a nice taste in your mouth. My misses likes to have a taste of all my cigars, this was her favourite, over several Montes. Ill buy this again. But I prefer Montes.

Belting little cigar, Ive had a couple now and each one has had a good draw and burn and have been built well. They tend to start off a little peppery and become a nice smooth tasting cigar definitely becoming a regular smoke for me.

A quality cigar, construction was perfect! Medium to full flavours to start, reminded me of a certain cuban with a yellow box and red writing. Flavours of hey and earth with a fairly strong peppery finish. Nice creamy smoke and perfect draw. First third settles into coffee and a very quick and slight sweetness to it. Second third mellows down to a medium cigar with coffee being the main notes, the subtle sweetness remains. The peppery finish almost vanishing completely. Final third increases in flavour again with more coffee, chocolate and creamy textures, earthy and nutty. Personally I prefer the normal V Serie but this was a pleasant cigar. Perfect burn and nice smoke output. The ash held on for a good 2 inches, which I find to be the case with the Vs. Is it worth the price tag? Make your own mind up about that. 45-50minute smoke. Worth a try.

Oliva Serie O Robusto Cigar - 1 Single
by Sabato
Pretty darn good! The first third was a little challenging with the burn but the flavours were nice...coffee and some earthy notes...no peppery bitterness at all. The smoke out put for me was very disappointing but I like thick cream smoke. The second third that all changed with an even burn and thicker, smoother smoke output. Coffee remains the main feature with dark chocolate coming through. Some very subtle spices on the finish which linger for only a moment. The final third had more coffee, some woody tones and some bready flavours. Very enjoyable, not as good as the V but up there...I could buy a box quite happily. Any time of day smoke. Not too light, not to heavy. Lasted only 40mins but I can’t complain.

Oliva Serie V Belicoso Cigar - 1 Single
by Sabato
My word, what a cigar! First 1/4 of the first third was a little peppery but then it calms down nicely. Great smoke output very nice. The second third is where this cigar came alive for me. Subtle dark chocolate and some pepper with a nice floral finish. The final third is more powerful but not bitter in anyway. I could have smoked this down to the end. The burn was nice and even throughout with the ash holding on well into the second third! The drew was a little tight but was still easy enough to pull. It took about 50mins to smoke but I must say I probably smoked it a little quick as I found it rather moreish Very very nice cigar. I could easily and probably will buy a box of these. A good one to give to friends who appreciate cigars but dont want their heads blown off. Im glad I bought 3 of these!

All in all a cracking little smoke and good value for money as I have found with all Oliva cigars so far. Good draw, even burn, a fairly strong aroma that does not mask the pleasant and delicate palate. Ideal with that mid-morning coffee.
