not sure if i am to that point but when offered a MB3 i will take that over most other cigars. Same with a V mel.

You not like em? I haven't had many of the O and G's. But the Connie reserve is great and the original V's are really good. I just got down to my last few lanceros and got a box of petite coronas. The V maduros are really awesome, and they all improve with age a lot. Strong, but smooth. Great bourbon cigars.

MB3's are great! Especially when on sale

Gotcha. I am not sure, but the O and G are a lower price. Not quite budget smoke, but lower-mid range. The G I had was a solid cameroon. The V is their more premium line and I believe the most popular. I haven't had any of the new Melanio or Saison.

I'd have to say I am a fan, I have V's from 09 to current and always seem to have the G & O, MB3 and Melanio, the Cain and Cain F are good. The Saison was disappointing and once my Nub's are gone I won't go out of my way to get more but overall yeah good stuff!

I am a huge Melanio V ho. Will take that anytime. The V's are good as well but not as go to as the Melanio. The O&G are ok. I have only had 2 MB3's they were good but not shocking. I also like the reckoning as well and like it. Have yet to try the Connie.

I will take the V Melanio over any other cigar I've tried. The O was the first cigar I really enjoyed. MB3 is a solid smoke as well. I've steered clear of the nubs just because I'm not a huge fan of the larger ring gauges. Because of the impression the Melanio and O made, I will try anything Oliva.

I heard they're all dyed.

I've had the O and the V, both tasty. Liked the O better, the V made me woozy I think.

When I have a really nasty cigar from someone else, I usually reach for an O because I'm not worried about it being bad or the bad cigar ruining something I haven't tried before. The O can stand up to the other guy's aftertaste

I need an interpreter. Um. Wait. Maybe,...... I think I get it now,......do you mean when you have "smoked" a really nasty cigar from someone else, you then smoke the O as a mouthwash? LOL

I haven't had any of the Melanios nor the Saisons yet, but I find myself enjoying most Oliva lines. I'm not fond of the O, but the G cameroon and maduro are very solid lines (I prefer the maduro though). The V is good rott, but amazing after a year or two in the humi.

Most everybody here has stated the same thing. For me I find the Oliva V or the Melanio one of the most consistent and best tasting cigars around. The O and G series are also good and again very consistent in flavor and construction. The saison is ok but nothing that blows you away. I have had the Cain F series Lancero's and the 2nd version of these as well and they are again a very good quality smoke. The Nub's are very consistent in flavor and construction as well however the only ones that I can enjoy regularly are the Nub Dub's and the Cameroons.

Yes, basically. I'm always afraid that the nasty cigar that I put out after an inch will ruin whatever I smoke next, or if the burn is bad I just get ticked and nothing will make it okay. The O has always stood up for me in this situation. Sometimes it doesn't get rid of the taste or anything like that, but it's usually a worry-free smoke for burn and the flavors are strong enough that I can usually taste it through the worst aftertaste lingering in my mouth.

Good consistent smokes. If I want something where I don't have to worry about burn, draw, what I ate or drank I grab a V or a Padron thousand series. Never let you down
