flor de oliva

They are pretty darn good. I buy these to give out to my friends who don't smoke cigars. Oliva makes a great product.

Good everyday smoke. I usually have a bundle laying around the humi. Nice for when I'm not sure if I have enough time to finish a stick.

As someone else said, I don't think that I've had a "bad" Olivia brand.

The Flor De Oliva normal blend has an Indonesian wrapper that detracts from the rest of the blend IMO. Spend the extra $5 - $10 per bundle to get the maduro or corojo wrapper. As NCRM said the GR Specials are a great cigar in the same price range..

I've smoked all four varieties and enjoy them. The Natural has a sweetened cap which you may or may not care for.

Not too long ago I did a blind review in my local smoke shop of the Gold (Connecticut), you can take a look at it here (off-site link)

I also recorded a Corojo review while I was there but haven't had time to edit the footage just yet.

Nice. This should be pretty funny.

Smoked the Flor de Oliva Torpedo today. Nice tipical mild vanilla with a little pepper. A bit flat but for that cheap smoke it doens't matter.
