They are not that strong once they get some rest in the humi, but they are tasty!

taltos · 03-19-2009, 04:40 AM

They still have some kick to them but are not as strong as some others that I have had.

Totemic · 03-19-2009, 10:55 AM

Are these even available anymore? I've been looking for them but so far every source for Oliva that I know is out of stock (and there doesn't seem to be any plans on restocking them either).

Check page 1 of this thread. I put a link to a source on there.

Just smoked one gifted to me by the slippery Shilala and absolutely loved it!!

I highly recommend it if you are looking for a magnificent mound of maduro taste!!

Pick up a bundle of robustos, they aren't as strong as I thought they would be. I must have fried my taste buds

, but all and all a very tasty cigar! I would pick these up again, with out a doubt.

I snagged one of these in a pass. I can't wait to try it. Thanks for the review!

Hmmm so I am not the only one that noticed it.
I would not even call them full bodied anymore...

FriskyDingo · 04-09-2009, 03:11 PM

Yeah, I purchased some of these over a year ago and didn't think they weren't nearly as strong as I had read. I thought the LFD DL Chisel kicked me harder than the El Cobre.

They STILL stink (but such a good stink) just as much as they did back when I first bought them though!

shilala · 04-10-2009, 11:12 AM

I just smoked another one of these yesterday and it was excellent. Once again, not nearly as powerful as they've been hyped to be, but absolutely delicious, full, and a true pleasure to smoke.
I walked around for ten minutes with the nub in my mouth once it was done. I don't think I've ever done that with any cigar.

just drybox them Scott, the dryer they get, the more power.

SmokeyJoe · 04-27-2009, 11:29 PM

Smoking one right now...

Love this little butt-kicker! Scott described it well. I was gifted this one... planning on getting some more.

The guy who gave it to me included it in a bunch of strong smokes... I think he was trying to kill me - but I really liked this robusto.

SmokeyJoe · 04-28-2009, 12:01 AM

Whew... half-way through...

Legs are feeling a little wobbly.

you should try the torpedo, it starts off less strong and builds slowly towards how the robusto is

colimo · 04-28-2009, 01:05 AM

Eat something first... and don't smoke it while operating heavy equipment.

BeerAdvocate · 04-28-2009, 06:44 AM
