Oliva "X" boxes,10th Anniversary
 

I saw some sticks I want some advice about,there are two boxes of Oliva "X" cigars at a store I visited today. This store also had the Oliva Bold sticks and some boxes of the original Oliva 'O' blend ,in the Red boxes.

There are also boxes of the Vintage Cameroon and Maduro from a while back.

There were some 10th Anniversary cigars in a 5 sided box,from 2004....

When were the "X" cigars made,and are they worth buying?

How about the Cameroon and Maduro Vintage sticks?Any good?

10th Anniversary ?.............


Thanks for your advice........................

Please tell me this store is in the Detroit area. Never heard of the Oliva X but sounds interesting. I'd buy em.

Re: Oliva "X" boxes,10th Anniversary
 

Buy them. How could you go wrong?

Re: Oliva "X" boxes,10th Anniversary
 

AND TELL ME HOW THEY ARE. I may want to buy some myself

Re: Oliva "X" boxes,10th Anniversary
 

From a few minutes of googling it seems Oliva did indeed produce an X line, as far as I can tell from 04-06 and were discontinued for lawsuit reasons over the X moniker.

Also I found this review:

Edit: And on that note these seem to be very HTF, I would buy them out.

Box split.....x 2....:tu

box split?

Re: Oliva "X" boxes,10th Anniversary
 

Oooh, please keep me in mind for a box split. I'd like a box or 2 for myself pending price.

These were released, then cancelled to avoid litigation against Opus X.

However, the rumor has it the remaining stock and blend were sold to FSS and are sold as Famous Nic 3k's.

Re: Oliva "X" boxes,10th Anniversary
 

As you said...Oliva had to stop producing this line years ago as a result of a lawsuit from Fuente (who claimed it was an infringement on their opus x trademark)

It was actually quite a good smoke. Exceedingly rare as they were limited production. Buy them if you've got the money. You may never see them again.

Re: Oliva "X" boxes,10th Anniversary
 

I would like to buy a couple sticks

Re: Oliva "X" boxes,10th Anniversary
 

That's one Oliva I've yet to try; awesome find. :tu

Re: Oliva "X" boxes,10th Anniversary
 

I will look into buying them. Any word about the 10th Anniv,or the Cameroon?

Re: Oliva "X" boxes,10th Anniversary
 

Buy 'em brother...best advice I could offer. Let me know if I can get in on a couple...never had the X

Re: Oliva "X" boxes,10th Anniversary
 

Didn't even know those cigars were in existence! How many did they have left?

Re: Oliva "X" boxes,10th Anniversary
 

I remember reading something about the Oliva "X" becoming the Famous Nic 3000. Tobii was up on these sticks, but not sure if he is still around (on the boards). I know he is currently deployed.

Re: Oliva "X" boxes,10th Anniversary
 

Tom, buy them. I would as they are quite good. I still have a few left. They were made for EO Brands (Ortega and Espinosa) and called Series X. They were a hit. Then Fuente stepped in and a judge apparently agreed with them that they own "X". :rolleyes:

The rumor that was pretty much accepted was that they became the first couple of batches of the Nic 3000's but are long gone now.

Re: Oliva "X" boxes,10th Anniversary
 

I am not sure, but Oliva made the 2006 Angel, which Papajohn would bomb the hell out of me and that was an incredible smoke. I would love to try one.

Re: Oliva "X" boxes,10th Anniversary
 

Different Oliva. The "Angel 100" was Oliva Tobacco Company who, aside from that one cigar line to commemorate the 100th birthday of the company's founder, Angel Oliva, are strictly tobacco growers and leaf suppliers. One of the largest in the cigar industry too.

The Oliva X was from Oliva Cigar Co., makers of the V, G, O, Cain, Nub etc...

Re: Oliva "X" boxes,10th Anniversary
 

So did you end up buying these after all?

Re: Oliva "X" boxes,10th Anniversary
 

I'm in for a few too. Let me know.

Re: Oliva "X" boxes,10th Anniversary
 

;sOpps just read two posts up errr

Re: Oliva "X" boxes,10th Anniversary
 

nvm... old thread...

Re: Oliva "X" boxes,10th Anniversary
 

lol, 3 people.

Re: Oliva "X" boxes,10th Anniversary
 

I just scored a box of these. They are front marked Celebrity and are 7x52.

I will let them nap a month and then fire one up. Am guessing these are from around 2006? My friend who is a new Oliva rep. has never heard of them, lol.

My Google search brought me here as this forum had the only discussion about this stick that I could find.:noon

Thanks for having me around, TLG

Re: Oliva "X" boxes,10th Anniversary
 

They aremuch older than that. Seems like they are from 2000 or 2001.
If they were properly kept,no need to wait a month,and please tell us about how they are.
I still have a few left,smoked one Monday afternoon,totally wonderful,starting to decline a bit,I think,but still a treat.

Re: Oliva "X" boxes,10th Anniversary
 

Hey TLG, you should hop over to the Newbie Processing area and make an intro thread! Welcome!

Re: Oliva "X" boxes,10th Anniversary
 

:confused:
These are pretty darn old, which means they've had plenty of time to "rest".

They have started to decline, but are still pretty good IMO. I smoked one about two weeks ago and also enjoyed it. As the box picture says, we made the Serie X for Erik and Eddie back in the day, and it was only out for a short time before production was halted. Nice pick up none the less. :tu
