Oliva Serie G Cameroon Robusto
Smoke=Fire

All right, in light of my Cameroon craze, I had to try this little beauty sent to me by joz3r in his PiF. The cigar looks like a gem. Normally I am a Toro/Torpedo man, but this stick (3.7 X 48) satisfied regardless of size. You would think that a smaller cigar like this would burn hot, not so. At about the last inch it warmed up, but that is to be expected. Do not be fooled, she produces smoke in great smooth gouts. Tasty? Man, even though it got warm at the end, I nubbed it.
It took me one hour to smoke, and I took my time with it because it was so good . I think Urbino is on to something with his wrapper/filler ratio I definately like this size better than the Toros I have, even though those are great smokes as well There are times when...well, you want a good smoke but don't have 1.5 to 2 hours to dedicate; this jewel fits the bill, and is a happy medium between a small cigar and a fatty
RRS = Wow!! I think I just discovered my newest great smoke, and I am going to buy a box of these dandys!
Thank you, joz3r!

As for the Oliva G Cameroon, if the Special G (I always want to add "and Flava Flav" to the end of that) is better than the Churchill . . . good gawd.
Another tid bit, a lot of blenders smoke a lancero first when blending a cigar to get as much wrapper flavor as possible. Typically that is why lanceros are limited release I've heard them referred to as test cigars or professional cigars. You don't get the full experience of the cigar as much as you get the full experience of the wrapper.
