Oliva serie V lancero
Picked one of these up on a lark at my last visit to my local B&M--definitely not regretting the experiment.
Color: quintessential "tobacco" colored, not light, not dark Aroma: Cocoa, to my nose. Lots of cocoa and sprinklings of cedar Pre-light draw: Little tight as opposed to my usual preference but by no means obstructive Palate: Robust, very full bodied tobacco and spice up front; cocoa tones i noted in the aroma much more muted in the face of flame. Utterly delicious in every way. Thick billowing smoke made the slightly tighter draw much more rewarding. Other thougths: Some people talk of tobacco smoke or cigars in terms of being "chewy"--this was totally the opposite. Envision smoking granite or marble, something so dense and robust that it has pretty much no give at all. 4 stars of 5, and now i must find more lanceros |

Had my first OTT yesterday. Outstanding cigar that can only get better with age. I was impressed with the burn and good draw.

I really enjoyed this stick! I then bought a Torpedo while in Cleveland last weeked and it wasn't anywhere near as enjoyable. It could have been the fact that I was smoking the damn thing outside in 30 degree weather! But seriously, I think the Lancero is the way to go with this Series V line
