Oliva Serie V Belicosa

04-21-2011, 02:12 AM

just fired up one of these... http://www.cigaraficionado.com/cigar...ar/2009/rank/5

really good, especially for the price - very consistent throughout, all the way down to the end

black pepper, coffee at first, settling down to a smooth meaty flavor - great construction

goes well w/ a glass of merlot

highly recommend... I would agree w/the 93 rating from Cigar Aficionado

cheers!

Great smoke, thanks for sharing! One of the few reviews/ratings from CA that I agree with!

thanks - yeah I agree, I usually disagree w/ CA's ratings on cigars that have some really bad tastes, eg sour, grassy, etc that somehow never get mentioned...to me the hallmark of a great cigar is no real 'negatives' that spoil the smoke, as in harshness, flavors or construction.... it is usually a big commercial imho

cheers!

+1

I'm still scratching my head over CA giving the Gurkha Ninja a 90 rating

Nice review

I go through boxes of these. Very good for the money and you know what you are going to get with them.
