Yep, this was an Oliva O Bold in paper (see the
linky). Every other one I have had was in the silk cloth band or the Oliva O Classics that come in paper. I smoked this one last night at a little herf I typically hold in my shed on Thurs nights. All i can say about this stick is if you like the red cloths, this one was twice as good!
No joking here, it was absolutly amazing. I can't pull out tones of African violets and white peppers as others can, BUT this was a definte top ten smoke for sure. I was smoking way to fast so as not to let any waste, snorking it and basically doing what I could not to waste it.
All I know is Papa John hit me with some stellar goodness here. I have never seen anyone else even mention a O Bold in paper, but it is indeed a rare gem. John, many thanks for the great evening I had with it last night. It was paired with Gentleman Jack last night and they were a perfect fit.
