well as luck would have it CI just delivered my backorder, and that combined with the Famous order, netted me 4 boxes of these beauties.
while I tried to hold out, I had to burn one last night.
On first light, I thought, YES! this is going to be a great stick. Smooth, cocoa, cream like flavors, with some nutty nuances. About half way through the stick, it did start to take on some pepper, and spice. THe last third was a little rough though, leading me to think that the stick is still very young, also got a nicotine feeling as well that I translate to youth.
now for some hibernation and a retest in 6 months or so.
I called CI today because they sent me some confusing messages over the past few days and they indeed confirmed that by tomorrow (tuesday) I should have my box of Oliva V Maduros
I smoked one last night...I loved it...but it left me feeling almost sick...been a while since a cigar did that to me...probably a bad combo of pizza, beer, coffee and maduro..

I also had confusing emails. one said that the order was on the way and another one from Customer service saying that they did not know when the order would ship.
probably that nicotine blast. I felt it too. not to a point of discomfort, but if I had smoked this baby with some coffee, I definitely would have gone over the edge.
I've got one box coming from CI that UPS has taking the long way to my house because of a zip code screw up that I thought they fixed prior to it being loaded on a truck but apparently not and then someone gave me another source for the Oliva Serie V Maduro that was even cheaper then CI so I have a second box headed my way
Well my first box of Oliva Serie V Maduro finally arrived today. Now I'm still waiting for my box from CI that UPS has taking the scenic route to my house by way of Arkansas....
