    OK, I'm done with these!

    Oliva 2nds V maduro. I had the 6th one today and barely got it down to an inch. Into the snowbank it went. Disgusting.

    Out of 6 of them, I had two that were good.

    Just had a Kuba Arte tonight, hands down one of the best infused smokes out there.

    Bad flavor. And the last two (one was good, one was bad) left a very heavy smoke smell in the civic. Up until these last two, after leaving the car parked with the window down for a couple of days, you can't even tell there was a cigar in it.

    I think they may have been on the stronger side for my tastes also as I remember the ones that were good and smoked all of them, seemed to be getting right to that nic stage.

    I will let them rest a while then give one a try. I know that you are a Diesel fan but didn’t ever recall seeing a pic or comments from anyone on the Uncuts.

    I had one of these yesterday & a couple times it got a hard cap on the foot when smoking, I had to trim it off & relight. I thought I would try another one today, it seems to be burning much better.

    Bryan on CO said he had a couple of blenders tell him it was from improper/poor fermentation.

    I don’t usually dislike cigars… but this will not be on my reorder list. I’ve had one out of 9… giving one to my buddy… and said it stunk… could not keep it lit and rolling… this is the last one… it’s a short one the only reason it got picked…

    The good one that I had it smoked really nicely and stayed lit and had good flavor… not sure… really weird…

    That’s the chits about most of them being bad/not burning good, a bad burner makes a guy not want to try anymore of that blend.

    I believe I have some of those, hopefully they aren’t turds…

    Thats kinda of why I haven't bought Oliva's much... I had several varieties a long time ago that was plugged up... A higher than not ratio... and it kinda of burnt me on them...
