Thompson Cigar is having a special where you get a 5-pack of the robusto sized cigar for only $19.95. Unfortunately, each customer is limited to one order.

Oliva Series V

Creamy yumminess. That is the best description of this wonderful Nicaraguan cigar by the folks at Oliva. Rated as the #4 cigar of 2006 by Cigar Aficionado, the Series V is a fantastic cigar that is loaded with coffee and earthy flavors, all delivered in a smooth and creamy smoke. You can smoke this bad boy first thing in the morning (as I'm doing now) or as a dessert cigar after a good meal. The construction of the double robusto that I'm smoking is perfect. The ash is firm and I'm able to smoke the cigar down to the nub with no problems. The amazing thing is that you can buy a box of 24 for only $116, which proves once again that you don't need to spend a small fortune to get a great cigar.

Overall rating: 8.5 out of 10

Oliva Series G

I'm usually a big fan of the Oliva Series G but the toro I smoked tonight was a real disappointment. The draw was tight from the very beginning and the flavors were well to mild for my palate. It seemed as if the creamy and earthy aroma and flavors were struggling to break through. It could have been due to the tight draw, as the cigar seemed to have opened up as I got towards the end. Before I banish this Nicaraguan cigar to the ash bin, I'll probably smoke another one in a few days to see if I just got a bad stick. One thing I can't complain about is the price. You can buy a box for $78.
