Olivia "O" Classic
 

I just smoked an Olivia "O" Classic. I wish I could remember who I got it from. Wow, what a fine cigar. But now, 20 minutes later after looking on the big cigar sites, I can't find it. It has a red band with a big "O", and a smaller red band beneath with the word "Classic" on it. Is this discontinued? Has it been replaced by the "Serie O"? Is it the same blend? I want more!! :)

Re: Olivia "O" Classic
 

They're discontinued. The Serie O is not the same, but give all the Olivas a try. If you liked the classic you'll probably find a few of their current blends that you'll like.

I also enjoy these cigars and was bummed to find out that they were discontinued. I haven't tried any of the new blends, but I'm sure they're worth trying.

Poop. Thanks for the info guys.

Re: Olivia "O" Classic
 

Happens to me all the time! I like something and then find out that they are discontinued!!!:bh

Re: Olivia "O" Classic
 

Check out the Oliva Serie O.

Re: Olivia "O" Classic
 

Yes, the 'O' is a fine stick indeed and very affordable

If you still are jonesing for one a b/m down by my parents still had quite a few boxes in stock when I was there over the weekend.

Re: Olivia "O" Classic
 

Surprise, surprise I still have a few of those. Want a couple (?) then PM me a mailing address.

BTW the replacement/new line of the O's are good cigars. Just hard on some of us who really loved the old line that they replaced.

Re: Olivia "O" Classic
 

By any chance do they have any of the Oliva Bolds, i.e. the Oliva Bold Ole?

Re: Olivia "O" Classic
 

I am floored it took you this long for that question.:r

John, Can you tell us the evolution of the Oliva labels? I have some of the cloth bands and also the paper band with the large O. Were the "Classic" and "Bold" second labels added at a later date?

Re: Olivia "O" Classic
 

I'm hardly the one to answer that question but I'm pretty sure it was the cloth bands then the paper. I know the last of the red labled bolds when they were discontined (summer 06?) were sporting paper bands.

This sampler is available from Holt's. $24.95. got some decent sticks in there as well.

Re: Olivia "O" Classic
 

No I do not recall seeing any just the new style/old style classic O with the paper band...

BengalMan (Ian) should know the answer to this question. He is the most qualified to answer.

Cloth Band Olivas... :dr :dr

:ss

Re: Olivia "O" Classic
 

You said it! :( Those are awsome sticks

Re: Olivia "O" Classic
 

I agree that the paper bands came after the cloth but don't know when that change took place. I had a cloth banded Bold Ole with a little plume on it last night and it was yummy!

Re: Olivia "O" Classic
 

The original Oliva "O" series with the red cloth band was the first cigar I ever had. That was what started me off in this hobby. They were amazing cigars.
