Oliva O Bold in paper

I'm not a huge fan of the O Bold, cloth or paper. It's odd, because I really enjoy the Padilla Habano that's strikingly similar.
The O Bold has a sweetness that's kind of odd and offputting to me. On the other hand, it's got a distinct profile that's very interesting, and I can sure respect it as a very good cigar.
I LOVE the cloth and paper blue O's, and have made it my life's work hoarding them. Spectacular smokes they are.
If there's any brand of nc's that benefit from age, this is them. Normally I find that my nc's flatten out quickly after that 8 month to one year period when they're stellar. Oliva just gets better and better. They hang on to their strength, and it just spreads out and smoothes out to a beautiful smoothness that's tough to find among nc's.
Truly a remarkable blend from an excellent company.
