Oliva Cigars

MB 1's were epic, the 2's and 3's never did it for me. Melanio's are nice but I do love the V lancero. The whole line was based on that one cigar. Oliva made them for another company and they pulled out late in the project so Oliva called it the Serie V, put it on the market and it's been the best selling cigar Oliva has ever made.

I've always wondered who that company was that decided to not take them.

Those hypothetical 'If you could only smoke one make and model of cigar the rest of your life...' questions are silly to me and I cannot ever reply.

However if the question allowed me just one brand of cigars I could answer, and it would likely be Oliva. From the seldom encountered (by me) MB's through the V and Melanio, through the O and G series, all the way down the ladder to their bundles, Flor de Oliva, that would give me enough variety to never get bored.
