Oliva Serie G Corona
"Tap dances on your tongue"
A real mouthful of spice with every draw, now I'm hooked on Cameroon wrappers, more spicy than the CAOX2 by a mile, like previous reviewer probably happy that I ordered caronas where I normaly go for the larger sizes. Good consistant burn and draw and almost as good looking as me! Like the boxed press too, it suits the cigar

Oliva Serie G Figurado
"Hey Mikey, he likes it!"
I don't know if you can even go to wrong with the Oliva line. I haven't met one yet that I haven't liked. I won a box of the Figurado's on an auction and what a good find they were. But even at the regular FS price, they are still worth the value of these fine sticks. Some of the ones I have smoke were a little hard to start (rolled too tight at the lighting tip). But when they get going it is a pleasurable treat. Good even burn with a nice light grey ash.

Oliva Serie G Robusto
"Pairs well with coffee in the morning"
Excellent aroma and taste. I do like the small, box pressed robustos with coffee in the morning. They are fairly loose, and burn fast. I am never dissapointed in the Oliva G series and can recomend them without hesitation. Enjoy.

Oliva Serie G Corona 5 Pack
"Started Great, Finished Bad"
I was very excited about the first 2 inches of this cigar, but I was just disappointed by the end. It opened with a nice tangy spice and a rich flavor, but it went down hill fast and finished stale and ashy. It's a balancing act with boxed-pressed cigars, but this one errs on too much on the side of looseness. A lot of promise up front, but it doesn't hold up in the end.

"Not much to get excited about"
Being new to premium cigars, Perhaps my review does not mean much. But my impressions were that the cigar had an easy draw, but was lacking in a decent flavor. To me the Series G tasted like dirt and cardboard. I have had better Phillies.

Oliva Serie G Robusto
"Alright at best"
Cigar has good construction. The burn was very uneven though. The taste was unpleasant at best. This is a good smoke to give to buddies that don't know any better.

"Great short smoke with coffee or tea"
Not the greatest Rothschild I've ever had, but it's got good consistency and a good mild flavor with a hint of sweetness and spice. Given the phenomenal price, this is one you can buy a box of for everyday smoking, perhaps with a cup of coffee or tea in the morning or early afternoon. I thought the slight spice flavor was almost cinnamon in nature. Very unique flavor that is above average.

Oliva Serie G Belicoso
"Terrible Draw"
OK First I didn't buy this one from Famous Smoke Shop, But heck it was still an Olivia G. Maybe I got a bad one but with that said I used one of those angle cutters that cuts a long divit in the ind of the cigar which has worked for all my other cigars but this one had a terrible draw. So bad I almost hurt my cheeks trying to suck anything out of this thing. It was like trying to suck smoke from an unlit cigar. The little I got tasted fine but it was so irritating I just gave up on it. I will never buy another one. If someone gives me another one I'll try it cause the taste for what I got seemed Ok if it was just a bad cigar then OK but Ive smoked cheaper cigars that were much easier to smoke.
I tried re lighting the dang thing three times but it was lit just no draw at all. I cannot emphasis enough how hard it was to try to get anything from it. It had to be just a bad cigar or maybe needed cut again deeper into the cigar I just don't know.
