Post earthquake Oliva G!

03-12-2011, 07:25 AM

Trying to relax after the largest earthquake in Japanese history, so I went outside for a quick smoke. I'm sure most of you have smoked the Oliva Serie G Special G.

3 3/4 x 48 Maduro, Nicaraguan, medium-full body. Nice almost seemless construction, cool little perfecto shape, clean double cap.

As with alot of figurado's, the first cut/draw was a little tight so I had to make an additional cut. Draw after that was perfect, and the burn was decent and corrected itself nicely. Nice tobacco flavor, pepper on the first 1/3....short on the finish (no surprise from Serie G) and a little flat on the back.

Halfway more of the same, good amount of smoke and the flavors are very predictable and tasty for a small stick. Barn, Coffee, Earth.

Final third was nice and smooth, and you would be hard pressed to find a better smoke for under 3 bucks. Total smoke time was about 30 minutes.

Me and the fam are safe and glad to be living on base at NAF Atsugi

Oliva G's are always good. Watching the news to see if the two reactors are going to explode.
