I am SO happy you enjoyed it, Joe.
I search far and wide for old Oliva stuff, it's absolutely insanely incredible. John digs the Oliva Bolds, I think I sent you one (an orange band Oliva). They aren't to my taste so much, but regardless, I can appreciate them for what they are. I generally enjoy the blue bands a lot more. They're kinda like Grands but a lot fuller, richer, and thicker. Kinda the difference between a chocolate chip cookie and a brownie.
I believe these were from around '04 and they were discontinued sometime around '05 or '06, maybe earlier. It's a shame they're gone, but the Special G maduro is a lot like it after it gets about a year on it.
If you haven't tried a special g maddie with some time on it, I know a guy that can fix you up.
Thanks for the excellent review!!!
