The Oliva Serie 'O' (Robusto: 5" x 50) may deserve a better writeup than I'm going to give it. At the time of smoking, I was working my way through my 5th, 6th and 7th servings of Jerry Gibson's dangerously good rum punch. As a result, many of the details of the afternoon have escaped me. I do remember that the Oliva had an easy draw and a consistent burn, and a solid salt-and-pepper ash. The last third of the Oliva burned a little hot, but I may have been over-smoking it. The flavor was... well honestly, I don't remember. In any case, it wasn't remarkably good or remarkably bad. In the spirit of fairness, I'm going to have to try another one sometime. (Poor me!)
