Very nice review, pics, and stick selection! I like the Oliva line, but, like you, I almost always have burn issues with them! Great smokes, though!

I haven't had the G Maduro yet. I have read good things though, so I'm looking forward to getting my hands on one. Gonna head to the B&M shortly after my return home and see what I can find from the Oliva catelog. Great review.

I had one of these (Box Pressed Churchill) last night for the first time, and I didn't have any burn issues at all. It burned straight, stayed lit and was all around a good smoke. Mine was a little spicy at first, but it settled down pretty quickly.

love the G maduro, always keep a box of the robustos on hand. Still working on a box of the Special G maduros from way back. Just a classic Nicaraguan maduro.

It was a nice smoke, finished all too quickly.

The G Nats are also excellent, especially for the cost.

Thanks for the review & pics. I have picked up a few of these at my local B&M and I really love the rich flavor they provide. I haven't had the size you reviewed, but I am sure they will be very similar. The robustos have a very nice and smooth maduro flavor.
