This man knows his Oliva's and I'm with him on this one! The MBs are good but IMO they aren't worth the extra money when comparing it to the Vs.

Have you compared the OR lancero V's to the new batches? To me there is a difference.

All the Cains are good (especially the F) and all pre 2010 V maduros are good (the new one with the mexican wrapper is not very good).

I would assume no because I started trying lanceros this year. What year is the OR for the V lancero and which do you prefer?

The original V Lancero came out I want to say mid 2007. It's easily recognizable and you may have smoked one without knowing it. The OR V's have no cello.

I prefer the OR V. Maybe it's all in my mind

but I think they taste more refined and less spicy.

Possibly because it has age on it? I am curious if the wrapper or filler is different. I believe all the ones I've smoked and currently own have cello.

I am not comparing OR to current release in the present. I am talking about how they tasted when I bought them. The OR's right out of the box tasted better to me than do the current release right out of the box. Just my
