I have a box of Oliva V Maduros now in my hands.

I plan on smoking one tonight. I will report back.

It must be the day that AZ folks finally get their crack at these. Mine came today also!

I have just got my box in and smoked one OTT. Good cigar but needs time to rest IMO. In a few months I think they will be great

I hope rest does help them..far from impressed with the one I smoked. Put a couple away and mailed off the rest today to 5 other BOTL to sample.

Am happy to say I'm one of the lucky recipients. Guess I'll let it rest for a couple of weeks, but that's as long as I'm going to wait!

Mine came in on Saturday but I just picked it up from work today. Birthday present from the boss.

It smells really good.

groogs · 11-03-2008, 05:27 PM

Congrats, I hope you enjoy them.

After a long search on the web and locally, I picked up a few boxes and once they arrived I ended up with a COLD!

I just simply stare at them waiting....

Nice pick up by the way!!

kgoings · 11-04-2008, 07:48 AM

Got my box last Wed, not smoking one because I had one the week before and they need rest.

icantbejon · 11-04-2008, 09:03 AM

I have a box waiting on me till I get home. They will have a nice month or so sitting in a box waiting on me to get home. I can't wait to try them.

Silound · 11-04-2008, 10:01 AM

I was not impressed with the initial smokes I had. They tasted like maduro cardboard

Like other brothers said, these need a month or two to settle out from shipping. I do believe they have a LOT of potential, and I think this may be a cigar worth keeping for several years to see what they taste like in a year or so.

I have almost two boxes (18 total) sitting aside for a while to see how they shape up in a few months.

Yeah I thought I was going to smoke one last night but ended up at Habanos Torres enjoying some pre-election smokes Tim wanted to test out. He's got this rosado wrapper that's really tasty and has some good spice to it.

Smoked one tonight. Holy ****. That thing is strong. First cigar I've ever smoked that was not over powered by the Lagavulin. It reminded me of an LFD DL Oscuro Churchill but not as sweet. I think it definitely needs to sit for a year or two. ****ed me up good. I was smoking with the boss and he thought it had an aroma like another plant that I enjoy so much.
