Oliva Serie G Special G
"Save your $$"
OK, so they really aren't that expensive, but I expected much better from Oliva. I smoke predominately Villazon cigars, Topper and a Texas made stogie, Travis Club Senators. I had heard soooo many people brag about Oliva that I had to try one today. Tried five, as a matter of fact.
I got the Special G, I really like the look of this cigar and had high hopes. I *will* say they were consistent...consistently bad. Hot, lack luster flavor and they all had wrapper tears that someone, I suppose the roller, had covered over with a patch of tobacco.
I'll stick with Villazon handmades and my fave machine smokes. BTW, never have had a Cain, Rocky Patel, Tatuaje or any of those other newfangled brands and I will tell ya, no matter how much folks brag on 'em, I never will. Stick with the tried and true, I say.

Oliva Serie G Cigarillo 10/5
"Great quick smoke"
I've been a big Oliva fan for many years. The Oliva G Serie is the best value for cigars to be found anywhere. A consistently smooth smoke. It retains its flavor, even when re-lit. The Serie G cigarillo is the finest short smoke to be found. Great taste, burns even, a pleasing aroma, even to non-smokers. About two out of every 50 will have a loose wrapper. Not a bad trade-off.

Oliva Serie G Tubos
"Very good value smoke"
The Oliva Serie G is a really great cigar for the price (as is the Serie O). It is perfect for a new smoker or afternoon smoke because it is not too strong and it tastes well-aged right out of the box. Also has some of the sweetness characteristic of Cuban tobacco. A great cigar to give a friend you would like to convert into a fellow BOTL.

Oliva Serie G Robusto
"Great cigar for the price"
I have smoked about 7 or 8 of these cigars purchased from various places and have never been disappointed. While I prefer the Serie V they can be hard to find and are slightly more expensive. I find these Serie G to be an excellent, affordable milder substitute to my Serie V and always try to keep a couple on hand.

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.
