Enjoying Life!
Let me start by saying I never judge anything the first try. This is my secon of these and I feel they are aweful. I smoke the first one after i had it in my humi for approx 3 weeks, didn't like it. Thought I would let the second one sit for 2 months, realy no better. The burn was pretty goood, no problem with the draw, but the tast was horrible. I only lasted about 25 minutes into the smoke before I had to put it out. I would rate this between a 1 and 2 out of 5.
 
If I had anymor I probably would. I may buy another from my local shop and give it one more chance. I got the 2 I had at the same time. Could have been from a bad box.
 
While I think the Gs are ok, I really like the Series O. You might want to try a couple of those.
 
I agree with dejoro. I like the Serie G but the Serie O is deff a step up IMHO.

The G is good for the money but I like some of the House Labels and the 5 Vegas Classic & Gold more, and they're cheaper. That being said, the G is no longer stocked in my humi.
 
I am thinking one of these is what Tony Soprano is holding on the cover of the the new CA mag.

Im looking at it now, I think you're right.
 
Well... for some reason I keep my bands in an old cigar box. Anyhow I pulled a G & an O out and compared them & they don't match. The gold on the Oliva bands outlines the edge, the gold on the one he's holding isn't the outline.
I would think he'd be holding a CAO Sopranos cigar but the bands aren't even close to being similar. Does anybody have any idea what it is?

For that matter, in the previous issue (Feb.) there's a picture of David Caruso on page 87 holding a cigar with 3 "T"'s on it. He mentioned Trinidad as being one of his faves but the band doesn't match any Trinidad that I've seen. Anybody know what it is?
