Oliva Master Blends 1

07-13-2009, 03:42 PM

So I was so stoked to find that the B&M i bought these at before had a few more left, so I grabbed what was left of the box, and he sold me the box too. The box is the prettiest box I have seen a cigar come in yet, and the smoke matches it!

Both the smokes and the box look awesome! Nice pickup.

I have a couple sitting in my humi.. Try any of 'em yet? Review?

By far my favorite of the Master Blends. Love the box too.

I have smoked a few from my last grab, and I reviewed it somewhere (dont see it right now) It was phenomenal, especially considering the last run of these was at least 5 years ago. Very complex, very floral, medium bodied. I'll review the next one I smoke.

That box looks like it could be mounted on a wall!

Or stashed discretely in my cooler, one or the other :-P

The 3 is a great smoke, no doubts, but they lost some of the complexity of the earlier models. The common thread is robust flavor and huge smoke volume. Definitely a good one for me!

That was a fine edition .

I have a full box of MB1 torpedos/robustos, MB2 torpedos, and MB3 robustos as well as various singles of all of them. I've smoked 2 of the MB1 torps and thought they were pretty mild. The boxes are really nice, but HUGE.

New to this Cigar world but Oliva seems to be a really nice smoke for me...I have an Oliva O think it was a Toro and I loved it!!! I will have to try other Mild Oliva sticks to find the ones I really like.

actually the box comes with a small screwdriver to remove the hinges. the top of the box has a slot so it can be hung on the wall like a framed picture after removal. i have smoked through a few boxes of these so far, and have a couple tucked away.

Thats good to know, maybe I'll do that.

actually, the lid is already prepared to be mounted to a wall, no joke! I have one of those boxes myself so I know. There is a small hole on the inside of the lid, so you can hang it over a screw and use it as a decorative picture on your wall. I'll try to make a pic of the back of the lid later today.

I have a box of these, and still have not smoked one...

So many cigars, so little time!

I had to PM Ian as to what the Master Blends are/were. Sounds like they are just as bad as the Oliva Bolds. More discontinued stuff to fall in love with and can't be found.

Suhweeeeeeeeeeeeet score Dougyboy!!
