Just smoked one gifted to me by the slippery Shilala and absolutely loved it!!

I highly recommend it if you are looking for a magnificent mound of maduro taste!!

Pick up a bundle of robustos, they aren't as strong as I thought they would be. I must have fried my taste buds

, but all and all a very tasty cigar! I would pick these up again, with out a doubt.

Then I'm sure Paul would love these. Oh, thats right. He's still digging himself out from underneath the "Birthday" rubble

Smoking one right now...

Love this little butt-kicker! Scott described it well. I was gifted this one... planning on getting some more.

The guy who gave it to me included it in a bunch of strong smokes... I think he was trying to kill me - but I really liked this robusto.

SmokeyJoe · 04-27-2009, 11:01 PM

Whew... half-way through...

Legs are feeling a little wobbly.

you should try the torpedo, it starts off less strong and builds slowly towards how the robusto is

Eat something first... and don't smoke it while operating heavy equipment.

They are not that strong once they get some rest in the humi, but they are tasty!

taltos · 03-19-2009, 03:40 AM

They still have some kick to them but are not as strong as some others that I have had.

Totemic · 03-19-2009, 09:55 AM

Are these even available anymore? I've been looking for them but so far every source for Oliva that I know is out of stock (and there doesn't seem to be any plans on restocking them either).

Check page 1 of this thread. I put a link to a source on there.

Hmmm so I am not the only one that noticed it.
I would not even call them full bodied anymore...

FriskyDingo · 04-09-2009, 02:11 PM

Yeah, I purchased some of these over a year ago and didn't think they weren't nearly as strong as I had read. I thought the LFD DL Chisel kicked me harder than the El Cobre.

They STILL stink (but such a good stink) just as much as they did back when I first bought them though!

shilala · 04-10-2009, 10:12 AM

I just smoked another one of these yesterday and it was excellent. Once again, not nearly as powerful as they've been hyped to be, but absolutely delicious, full, and a true pleasure to smoke.
I walked around for ten minutes with the nub in my mouth once it was done. I don't think I've ever done that with any cigar.

Don Fernando · 04-10-2009, 04:24 PM

just drybox them Scott, the dryer they get, the more power.

s15driftking · 02-27-2010, 11:07 AM
