Oliva Serie G Cigars

consistently good

This cigar has become one of my favorites,regardless of price. After trying one, I bought a box. Have smoked 5 or 6 and every one has had very good flavor, aroma, draw and burn with no bitter aftertaste.

This review was written about Oliva Serie G Robusto by jim of san antonio on October 20, 2008

A Mixed Blessing

Snagged a five pack of these a month or so ago here for cheap. I love the Serie O, so I figured why not try the Serie G, eh? These Serie G taste great - a true medium bodied flavorful smoke with a touch of sweetness but everything about this cigar is loose. I figured the first cigar of this pack was the exception, but I've since found that it held true for all five cigars in the pack -- the draw is very loose and the cigar isn't packed well and quite soft (not overly moist or too dry, just soft, like there isn't enough tobacco in the filler). The first cigar actually unraveled on me after the first inch or so. It was annoying, but I still was able to smoke it. I was more careful handling the other four Serie G cigars as I smoked them, but all were somewhat disappointing -- too bad, considering the great flavor. I know Famous here dubs the Serie O as full-flavored but having smoked more than a few of them, the Serie O is on more on the medium side then full, especially if you smoke them slowly. Bottom line = avoid the Serie G; it has too many issues. Try the Serie O -- it raises the bar on the premium medium flavored/medium strength cigar!

Smooth

As a new cigar smoker, these were very enjoyable

This review was written about Oliva Serie G Belicoso 5 Pack by Larry C of Ohio on August 31, 2008

Good smoke at a good price

I love this cigar. It has really good flavor but at the same time, it won't knock you on your @ss. It's a great smoke to share with a newbie or the occasional smoker. I've never smoked one that didn't draw and burn flawlessly (and I've had several). You can't go wrong with a box of these!

"Best I've had in some time, a Great Smoke!"

"This is one of the Best Smokes I've had in some time, I will keep purchasing this brand"

This review was written about Oliva Serie G Torpedo by Ron of Massachusetts on August 20, 2008

nice!!

being the one who likes to try new things, i am always looking for a different cigar experience. often i am pleasantly surprized by a different taste from each new stick. Other times i am disapointed and quickly look forward to the next stick. This is one of those times where i am pleasantly surprized. The series G is a good, medium bodied, handsomely flavored, and pleasant looking stick. For the quality of the smoke, the value is very good. the series G is well constructed. The draw is easy, the ash is very firm, and thick(dropped at almost 2in.)Nice grey-white ash. the flavor is compareable to a rocky vintage92, just not quite as smooth nor mellow as the vintage92. All in all if you want a quality stick at a good price you can't go wrong with the Series G....

Excellent flavor and strength

A very nice smoke that burns slowly and has a strength of 6.5 on a scale of 1-10.

This review was written about Oliva Serie G Churchill by barry of westchester il. on June 15, 2008

Just ok

I liked the robosto in this brand and have not had any problems, but have noticed the tubos have been plugged.

This review was written about Oliva Serie G Tubos by brian of sylvania on June 11, 2008

nice

Excellent presentation in a cedar sleeve lined alum. tube that enhances the taste of this Cameroon wrapped toro treat, easy draw, with an even burn. A mild to med. body, with a nutmeg/ wooded light spice finish, a nice change up when ya want a break from ERH & Pepin smokes, without sacrificing taste & quality

This review was written about Oliva Serie G Tubos by cybergar of bondsville on April 26, 2008

Terrible!

Ok, I tried one of these as soon as I got them and hated it! I let the other four sit in my humidor for three months. I broke one out last night hoping that the additional aging would help. I was wrong. It was just as bad as I rembered it. The tatse was awful and the smell was terrible. I couldn't even get half way through it. Don't waste your money. I'm glad I only wasted mine on a five pack.

This review was written about Oliva Serie G Robusto 5 Pack by Chad of Oklahoma on April 23, 2008

Excellent smoke, unbeatable proce

At about $4 a smoke, you can't go wrong, especially when it's as flavorable and well-constructed as it is. I've smoked a hand full of these and have yet to come across a dud. Pretty smooth, wonderful aroma, great flavors, good draw, etc. etc. Highly recommend!

This review was written about Oliva Serie G Churchill by Alex of on April 16, 2008

My new favorite for everyday smoke.

Best cigar for the money in my opinion. Compares with others cost 2X or 3X as much. I love this cigar.

This review was written about Oliva Serie G Churchill by Stephen Hughes of California on April 14, 2008

At least it was only a 5 pack

Ordered a robusto 5 pack as a possible supplement to my Torano 1916's. Initially disappointing. Still disappointing after 7 months in the humidor. This is a good cigar to give to mouchers - should discourage them from asking again.

This review was written about Oliva Serie G Robusto 5 Pack by Northcoast Wino of Ohio on April 13, 2008

I've tried 2--never again

Poorly made cigar--no weight to it. Starts harsh, stays harsh and finishes harsh. Uneven burn. Not sure why the huge difference between this one and Oliva's other solid product but life's too short to choke back another one of these.

This review was written about Oliva Serie G Belicoso 5 Pack by nosnittap of Portland, Oregon on March 4, 2008

My favorite morning smoke

I really love the Oliva Serie G. I bought a box of Torpedos with the intention of them being my morning smoke. Now I find myself really enjoying these more and more often. Great tasting Cameroon wrapper with the classic Nicaraguan flavors. I can't believe a cigar can be this good for such a low price.

This review was written about Oliva Serie G Torpedo by Steve S of Woodbury, CT on February 21, 2008

Must have

Bought a 5 pack and let it sit in the humidor for 3 days. Easy to light, appearance is great, lots of flavor. It burned well and had a nice ash that fell off 1/4 way to the band. Good price for this smoked. I used a soft flame when lighting.

This review was written about Oliva Serie G Belicoso 5 Pack by Jeff of Bay Area CA on February 2, 2008

Small but mighty

Tried one of these last night. For a little fella it sure lasted longer than I thought it would and had a great taste. Smoked down to the nub and must say, I was impressed with the cigar.

This review was written about Oliva Serie G Special G 5 Pack by Milkco of Cincinnati on January 19, 2008

Better with age

I have given these smokes a year to age and they have become delicious - I only wish they took longer to smoke.

This review was written about Oliva Serie G Belicoso by Chuck of tulsa on January 1, 2008

Great Smoke for the money!

This has become my favorite. Its smooth and has a perfect draw. I love it!

This review was written about Oliva Serie G Belicoso by Chris of Colfax,CA on December 18, 2007

My new "go to" smoke

Great deal with an even better cigar. Draws and smokes like a dream, appearance is impeccable and the churchill gives you over an hour of a desirable smoke! My new go to cigar!

This review was written about Oliva Serie G Churchill 5 Pack by Rob of Boston on September 7, 2007

no bad reviews on this one

One word to describe this cigar,"spicy". If you see a bad review on the Serie G, they don't need to be smoking cameroon. This is one of the best cammie's out there, truly special. I prefer the corona. Any thicker ring, and the spice is super rich, and overwhelming, (for me). For all the cameroon fans out there, this is one of the best.

This review was written about Oliva Serie G Corona by jon of Brunswick GA on August 27, 2007

Satisfaction

Just a couple out of the box smoked slightly off but nothing big and they straightened out before the cigar was half smoked. The taste was sensational and satisfying. Very distinct aroma, which I really loved.I will buy more of these soon. Gold taste for a copper price!

This review was written about Oliva Serie G Toro by Vincent Caccavo of TN on August 24, 2007

Sure bet

Tried a 5-pack of the Series G on Gary's recommendation. Just ordered a box of Belicosos. What a great deal(5 free robustos). Everyone I give one too falls in love with them. A great medium-bodied, creamy smoke that burns great. You won't find a better cigar for the money. Thanks Gary.

This review was written about Oliva Serie G Belicoso by JamesA of Greenville SC on August 24, 2007

overall great cigar

I tried the serie o first and loved the smoothness, so I went for serie g after reading it was a step stronger. I ordered the robusto 5 pack and smoking the nub of first one right now. It is what it says and thats a bit more body with a hint of spice to go along with mocha flavors is what I tasted. If it was any spicier, it would have been too much but the balance is just right. Just a wonderfully made cigar. It burnt pretty well and plenty of smoke to enjoy the flavors.

This review was written about Oliva Serie G Torpedo 5 Pack by mike z of belleville il on August 19, 2007

Excellent Cammie

There is a reason why Cigar Aficionado rated this so highly; it is an excellent Cammie. The Oliva family knows their way around tobacco and this is one example. Among the more full-flavored Cameroons you will smoke, the fillers nonetheless do not overpower the delicate flavor of the wrapper - and don't let the small size fool you. This stick burns slow and even and will deliver an unexpected amount of smoke for the size. Beautiful construction, and a cigar that is in one of my humidors all the time.

This review was written about Oliva Serie G Robusto 5 Pack by Rah55 of Nashua, NH on July 19, 2007

Great

Just had one at the casino and I was impressed! It is very smooth, and the cameroon wrapper tastes great! Medium body, full flavor. I want to try the maduro line next, although those are more difficult to find....

This review was written about Oliva Serie G Torpedo by Mike of Rhode Island on July 12, 2007

Another Great One From Oliva!

Just had one of these last night. On initial inspection it has an awesome wrapper leaf with very small veins. It has a small foot for lighting which shows what kind of craftmanship went into making this cigar. The first few draws are very tight due to the small foot but on the third or fourth draw it begins to open up because the foot is getting bigger. Very pleasant smoke. It starts out as medium bodied but it tapers throughout the cigar so near the end I would say that it turned into more of a full bodied cigar. I'm going to get a lot more of these to smoke over the years!!

This review was written about Oliva Serie G Figurado by Scott of Wilmington, NC on June 18, 2007

Outstanding!

I was given a Double Robusto by a friend who got some cigars, from the Oliva rep, at the local stick shop. My normal smokes are all the Rocky P's, so I was very impressed by the overall quality and construction of the Oliva. I used a punch cutter for this one. I toasted the foot and you could just tell this was going to be a good smoke. The cap was smooth and silky, as a Monticristo, as I continued to light up...overall a most pleasant aroma...a great grey ash that went on forever, and a real pleasure to smoke. Enjoyed with a glass of Warre's Warrior Porto.

This review was written about Oliva Serie G Double Robusto by Graham T of Williamsburg, VA on May 23, 2007

Love this cigar...

I recently discovered this cigar....tried it and loved it. It is one of my favorites...smooth draw, great taste, good burn. Not for the heavy guys who like a very bold smoke.

This review was written about Oliva Serie G Figurado 5 Pack by Charles Abbate of NY on May 22, 2007

Great Cigar - But need more

I liked this cigar very much. Excellent draw, nice spice, tons of smoke. Hint of sweetness after initial light, and although the spice gets more agressive as the stogie gets shorter, it never seems bitter or overpowering.

This review was written about Oliva Serie G Robusto by Keith of California on April 22, 2007

Good smoke, Great Price

Ok I read the previous reviews and I think these guys are being quite harsh on the poor little Oliva. This is a pleasant smoke with good flavors throughout. There was very good consistency and the taste can best be described as mellow. I would describe this as a light to medium bodied cigar, that for the price is worth a try. Overall a very pleasant experience.

This review was written about Oliva Serie G Robusto by Oliva Serie G of Japan on April 10, 2007

VERY FINE SMOKE

SAW THE REVIEW IN CA AND ORDERED A 5-PACK. I WAS NOT DISAPOINTED. A VERY WELL BUILT CIGAR. BURNED EVEN, EASY DRAW, MILD TO MEDIUM TASTE, HAS THE DISTICTIVE CAMEROON TASTE, TANGY. I WILL ORDER THESE AGAIN

This review was written about Oliva Serie G Robusto 5 Pack by marcus forrest of LA on March 21, 2007

its not great. its not bad. but it is a good price

decent. great shape. slow burn for the size. the other reviewer is correct, though, as the flavor is one dimensional. not bad given the price.

This review was written about Oliva Serie G Special G by Ludakris of illinois on January 25, 2007

Well balance - a delightful smoke

I ordered a box of these after reading CA's review where it scored a 92 and received humidor selection status. I was not disappointed, and have given several away. Very well balanced with vanilla and creme - highly recommended.

This review was written about Oliva Serie G Belicoso by Chuck Strohm of OK on January 18, 2007

Average Smoke

Fairly stout smoke. Liked the size and shape, quality was there for burn, draw etc, but flavor was mono from start to finish. Much better smokes out there for the price. Ditto for the maddies!
