"Good Stick"
Very decent stick for the price point, don't hesitate to buy a 5r and let them rest for a bit before toasting. I bought a few of these so far and will buy a 5r. I'd give this little gem a solid 90

"Save your $, buy something better."
Well constructed, good draw, straight burn. Horrible one note taste with a very harsh grass taste. Terrible. Not as bad as the Inferno. Go with Series O if you must Oliva. CAO Italia tops this.

"Great Smoke One of The Best"
Very good cigar! Great taste, very smooth smoke. I always have a few around for a treat.

"Consistently Great"
Most people you talk to who have had an Oliva V will have it very high on their list. A friend told me it's one of the most consistent cigars from one vitola to the other and after having three of the different vitolas I would have to agree.
Oliva did a great job with the Serie V in making a nice Full Flavored cigar that is very well balanced and not overpowering or harsh as some full bodied smokes can be. Just a great all around cigar and definitely a must have for my humidor.

"Oliva V"
I had tried an Oliva V torpedo in the past. I remember it as a little harsh. I chocked it up to perhaps being a little young.
I tried the double robusto the other night. It was harsh. There may have been flavor there. But the strength and harshness struck me as being there just for the sake of strength itself. They masked any pleasant flavors that may have been present.
Maybe it's just me. Maybe I just don't get what all the raving is about concerning ligero nicotine bombs.
I'll take an E.P. Corrillo Elenco cigar any day of the week. Tons of interesting flavors in a cigar that doesn't find it necessary to try to be the strongest thing in the humidor.
That, my friend, is blending skill. That's what premium cigars are all about in my opinion. Not just strength and nicotine for their own sake.
I've smoked cigars for going on 50 years and I'm hardly a newbie. I guess different tastes in cigars makes for a wide selection to choose from. I'm all for that. Happy smoking!

"Dissapointed!"
I was expecting a lot from this cigar after I read all the rave reviews. This cigar was really really harsh and lacks any flavor. I smoked 3/5 of it, as I kept puffing and puffing, waiting for it come alive, but it never did. I had to toss the damn thing. Never have I been so dissapointed. 2 hrs later, I could still taste the harshness in my mouth. Maybe it was just my memory playing tricks on me. I will stick to my Cubans, Arturos, and Padron. The only good thing I would say about the cigar, is the wrapper and caps are done nicely.

"One Word: Awesome!"
One can describe this cigar with just one word: Awesome! The look and the taste is great. Draw is tight and it burns evenly. If you find it too hard, wait until you reach the end. Bought a box and smoked two of em already! Strictly recommend to cigar lovers...

"Beautiful Smoke"
The Oliva Serie V Double Robusto is a winner. Excellent flavors of burnt walnuts, leather, and white pepper. This cigar reminds me of a the cuban Cohiba Robusto, but may be even better. A new favorite.

"As good as advertised"
Having read the good reviews, I had to pick up a stick at my B&M. This cigar lives up to the positive reviews and more. Full-bodied, very meaty, and smooth as silk. Had some draw and minor burn issues that were easily resolved. I've put in my order for a box.
