Flor de Oliva Robusto - Why'd I wait so long!

I finally got around to trying this sucker that I received from doubledown on the newb PIF over on the other site when I first got started up back in September last year.



Why'd I wait so damn long!

I'm putting this in the general cigar discussion because I don't know if this quick little blurb qualifies as a review but I thought I'd share anyway. And ask some ?'s.

This cigar was sweet on the lips in prelight, lit up well and smoked even all the way through. The thing retained its sweetness on the lips almost all the way through and the taste, well, it was pretty damn delicious & consistent all the way through. And not sweet in smoking it...just on the lips. Do you folks get the same with this one as I did? I also noticed a bit of a punch at the end...do they have a tendency to give you a nicotine smack or am I just crazy? (don't answer that)

And under $1.50/a stick? Are you kidding me???

So what's the deal with this cigar...I'm trying to find some info but not really coming up with any....is this Oliva's red-headed stepchild? Why isn't information on this cigar on their website? Everywhere else claims that this is the product of the Oliva family but then it's not on their website. What's the deal?
