stopped by the B and M on the way home for work picked up an olivia V lancero. My first olivia and my first lancero. pretty great cigar so far. I need to go to my b&m more often they have a great selection. it was a tough choice.
That is a highly under-rated stick in my opinion. I've always enjoyed those and they can be found as cheap as $1.25 in some Ccom deals I think.
It's actually my first...and to b honest, I agree.... I had this one sitting for about 6 months and am on a smoking/trying spree and I will be buying more in the future as it is a pleasant surprise.
How is the quality? Does it get bitter at the end? Is there a preferred vitola? I haven't had these since the first sampler I purchased a few years ago and have been wanting to revisit them.

burn is excellent, flavor is very consistent without much change other than the presence of slight pepper and leather. I'm halfway through and this looks like a 6x50. Solid mild into medium and a perfect morning-noon cigar. Being my first, I would buy more. My guess is if you like full body, go for a longer vitola as it picks up in strength. This is what I would call a classic cigar...no pun intended.
Whaddya think about this one David? BigT bombed me with one of these in it a few months back and I haven't sparked it yet. Thanks again Todd!
Flavor wise it was great right in my alley but I think I needed to let it sit longer it started cracking and the draw got real right toward the midway point but the flavor profile of cocoa and chocolate and a little spice was great

Have you heard of "dry-boxing" your sticks before they smoke and if so do you? For most smokes it should fix those types of issues, also try keeping your rH at 65-66% and LOWER than 70 degrees since most of your smokes are heavy on the ligero it will help the burn and cracking issues, plus will help to keep the tar buildup to a minimum as well. Hope that helps to solve some stuff, and thanks for the read on what to expect flavor wise sounds like I'll like it a lot!
Having my first Feral courtesy of Scarlin at the lounge with my wife while she smokes a stick as well and watching baseball... Great day! The Feral is rocking though thanks bro!!
