Oliva V - Favorite Vitola

[allusred]

That Oliva V #4 has gotten my intention and a fiver may well find it's way to me in the near future.

They actually do make this 6x60. I've never seen one outside of photos though, and the size isn't really up my alley. A couple of the big internet stores show them in stock though.

That was the first Oliva V I smoked. Easy on the palate with milk chocolate & creamy latte. A nice long smoke.

I'm with Tim on this one, years ago they were one of my favorite sticks and still are today.

Always solid, always realiable. Year after year the Olivas deliver quality, delicious tobacco.

@fastnbulbous It depends on what you prefer. Theyve made close to 25 different vitola for Oliva V over the years, most of those being one-of, single store releases. Personally, Im a big fan of smaller ring gauges, lonsdales and corona gordas being some of my favorites but in Oliva V the lancero is my least preferred. It just lacks depth and complexity. 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.

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.

Great choice, I'm confident you won't be disappointed.

Had one of the 4's shortly after they arrived. I agree with @Cardinal that it was not what i was hoping for. So now they are sitting in my humidor waiting. Just pulled out the second for my "to smoke" humidor. Probably in the next month, at most.

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.
