That Oliva V #4 has gotten my intention and a fiver may well find it's way to me in the near future.
That was the first Oliva V I smoked. Easy on the palate with milk chocolate & creamy latte. A nice long smoke.Quote:

The perfecto is dynamic but only for a brief moment. Of those readily available, Id support Tims recommendation for the Dbl Rob. and would have no issues if someone passed me a churchill by the fire pit.
Pulled the trigger on the Oliva V No 4 today for Box #2 to celebrate my Birthday.
Thanks for the discussion/help!!

Having had the good luck to've smoked a couple of the Oliva Serie V No.4's through the courtesy of Cardinal I'll have to amend my prior statement that I'd like to grab "a fiver of these Oliva's." To.... can see a box of them as a future purchase.

Great smoking cigar in a size I like a lot. Thanks for the beauties Tim.
Melanios own my soul which is why the Devil is so good at tempting.
Great choice, I'm confident you won't be disappointed.Quote:

Was also back in the Lehigh Valley to visit family in June and stopped by the 191 CI and picked up an Oliva V Churchill. Smoked within a week on Fathers Day and it was all that I remembered. Definitely one of my favorites. Hopefully the 4's will turn into something similar.
