Oliva V Melanio Overhyped or As Good as Advertised?
 

Anyone smoke an Oliva V Melanio? I've been drooling over them ever since I saw them....

Re: Oliva V Melanio Overhyped or As Good as Advertised?
 

Same here! I really REALLY enjoyed the Serie V sticks I've smoked and been curious about these myself. Im about to pull the trigger on a box for the hell of it.

Re: Oliva V Melanio Overhyped or As Good as Advertised?
 

I'm a big fan of the V's.....but a BIGGER fan of the Melanio!

Re: Oliva V Melanio Overhyped or As Good as Advertised?
 

what he said. I freakin love the Melanio.

I haven't had any, but cigarsatyourprice.com has to have the best deal going on them. Prices range from $54-$87/box depending on size. Out of stock on most boxes, but worth it if you have the patience.

Not over hyped at all, I absolutely love the line. Oliva hasn't released a new line in five years, they took their time and made sure they got this one right :tu

Re: Oliva V Melanio Overhyped or As Good as Advertised?
 

I loved the only one I had and hoping to score a box next weekend, but thanks Duane for the heads up on CAYP :tu

I have had two...the robusto and and No. 4 and was less than impressed. Maybe I expected too much from these. They were not bad sticks by any stretch of the imagination, they just tasted exactly like the regular Series V to me...but for a few dollars more. I still have the churchill and the torpedo to try yet, so I haven't completely written the Melanio off just yet. :2

Re: Oliva V Melanio Overhyped or As Good as Advertised?
 

+1. They were good, but really expensive.

Re: Oliva V Melanio Overhyped or As Good as Advertised?
 

I really liked them, had the robusto and PC so far.

Re: Oliva V Melanio Overhyped or As Good as Advertised?
 

I didn't think they were as strong as the V's, but that's me. I thought the V's were a little strong and the Melanios were more smooth, but that's just me.

And yes they are expensive.

smoked a lot of then recently, love them

Re: Oliva V Melanio Overhyped or As Good as Advertised?
 

Hmmm, sounds like I need to find one to try.

Re: Oliva V Melanio Overhyped or As Good as Advertised?
 

Best Oliva cigar I have ever smoked, and one of my current faves. A great cigar.

Re: Oliva V Melanio Overhyped or As Good as Advertised?
 

Just got done with a Robusto.. ROTT. Was very pleasantly suprised. I will have to locate a box now )

Re: Oliva V Melanio Overhyped or As Good as Advertised?
 

Been meaning to try one. Might just be my next smoke next time I'm at the B&M.

Re: Oliva V Melanio Overhyped or As Good as Advertised?
 

It's good, I haven't personally heard a lot of hype about it so I can't say if it is overhyped or not, but it's a good smoke for sure.

Re: Oliva V Melanio Overhyped or As Good as Advertised?
 

They are a good smoke. Overhyped? I don't think so. But I do like an aged V Maduro over them. Would like to see what the Melanio does with some age like how the Maduros do.
I do like the smaller sizes more than the torpedo.

Re: Oliva V Melanio Overhyped or As Good as Advertised?
 

I like them a lot and do not think they are over hyped. But everyone has different tastes. I'd suggest trying the #4 or Robusto first.

Re: Oliva V Melanio Overhyped or As Good as Advertised?
 

Haven't had these yet but I would like to try them I think all of Oliva's sticks are solid.

Re: Oliva V Melanio Overhyped or As Good as Advertised?
 

I smoked a robusto about a week and a half ago. It was too strong for me!
*shrugs*

Re: Oliva V Melanio Overhyped or As Good as Advertised?
 

bought a few #4 size and prefer the original

Re: Oliva V Melanio Overhyped or As Good as Advertised?
 

Sissy!! :r :r :r

Re: Oliva V Melanio Overhyped or As Good as Advertised?
 

Agree :). The only other Oliva that was close was the MB1 torp many years ago.

Re: Oliva V Melanio Overhyped or As Good as Advertised?
 

great cigar. I had a couple in Philly several weeks ago.

Re: Oliva V Melanio Overhyped or As Good as Advertised?
 

Whatever Mac! You know I smoke strong sticks, but this one was Ridiculous.
Almost along the lines of teh Viaje 2010 Holiday Blend that you loved so much!

Sometimes, too much is too much!;s
