Oliva Serie G Figurado a Well Made Cigar at a Great Price
Let me come clean, this is a cigar that I have been smoking since its release a few years ago. My humidor is never without the. This is also a cigar that I will give to guests who are casual cigar smokers. I have yet to have a guest not like this stick. As for me, this review is easy to write.
