Oliva V -- Not a fan.

[ZenSilk]

The G series got me into Oliva, and I've tried most of their sticks. the V is by fare the most complex, but I would say the G is the most enjoyable, to me. The V to me seems bland and times and a tad heavy on the leather. But, I have not had a V lancero that was anything but perfect.

I've given up on the V's.

The best thing to do with long skinny smokes like that is to dry box them a bit or have them humidified around 63% or so. Over humidified lanceros, like the ones from my B&M don't smoke well right out of their walk-ins because they are over humidified due to the nature of constant opening/closing of the doors.

That is just what I experienced.
