Got my first Flor de Olivia's in the mail today. The "word on the street" was that these are a great cigar at a great price for an "everyday" smoke. I finished the Lino African and kept thinking about the Olivia's so i fired up a corona (out of a sampler). I thought it had a great flavor, good construction, and a nice solid ash. Does anybody else smoke these? I also got a couple of the gold label (for weekend morning trips to the driving range), some maduro's (my favorite wrapper) and a couple 10th anniversary's (as recommended in the current issue of CA. I think we found a winner!

I like the maduros which, bought on-line, run me less than $2 each. These are especially good for "quickies" - when you don't have time to smoke an expensive cigar for an hour or more.
The Flor de Oliva is my everyday cigar, I smoke about 5 a day and there are a great smoke, at a very inexpensive price. I like everything in the FdO line.

I buy singles, at bundle prices at my local shop. I am loyal to my friends at the shop, and I am in there everyday.(sometimes twice a day) Even though I can save money online, I won't do it.

I agree -- the Grand Maduros are great. But my favorite FDO is the corojo. Man, they are great with just a bit of age on them. They are by far my favorite go-to cigar.
