I also have a figurado to try out. (You're right, that's a beauty.) But to be honest with you, if I were buying these, I'd be all over the robusto. The word is that this cigar was blended and re-blended based on the feedback of the Oliva fans and some very lucky guinea pigs! I think people were calling for smooth cigars with some power under that wrapper. I don't think I've ever smoked anything like it.

I really love the robusto and I think the Figurado is a work of art. Usually smooth cigars are on the mild side but this one is a dream. Oliva has done something right with these cigars. I think a years rest wouldn't hurt a box of these though to take some edge of the strength. I’ve got a Churchill Extra in my Humidor from the local Oliva event and I’m scared of the thing.

Overall, I'd say this was a fantastic cigar. It's definitely full bodied, but very, smooth and tasty, butt to head. It also has a great room aroma. It will sneak up on you, it is pretty potent. You definitely don't want to smoke this fella if you have work to do, or someplace to drive! Save it for the evening! The only thing I'd do differently is pick a smaller size! This 'gar kept me puffing for around 2 hours and 20 minutes. (Yes, I am a slow smoker, but it is 7 x 52!) It’s funny you mention the Oliva Serie V, I just smoked the Churchill Extra last night!

I got told of a couple local places that have them. Not yet, I’m going hunting for them this weekend. I got told of a couple local places that have them.
