I researched the Oliva family, and was so impressed that I visited my local cigar merchant and bought one " O" Maduro Orion 7x54.This boy was $10 and my merchant stated" Let it rest- not long" It's been about six weeks. I just finished it as Tiger and DiMarco finished the 4th hole at The Masters.
I looked up the price and at $127 per 25- this is a $5.00 cigar.
The Orion is one big beautiful Maduro.The pre smoke was soft chocolate. At 1 1/2 inch I forced the ash to drop.The chocolate/coffee flavor started to change at about two inches and got a little meatier- good. Good volumes of smoke throughout. When there was about three inches left to smoke- the chocolate/coffee returned as it was the first 2 inches- it never left, just got a little bolder in the middle- which I liked. A great finish.
Never harsh or bitter.No youth.
Super impressed and will try every Oliva that is made.

malone, you have been searching for an inexpensive torpedo. Try to flor de oliva maduro torpedo. 50.00 a bundle of 25 not a bad cigar for the price.
