Olivia series O, Robusto.

Construction:
Beautifully constructed, firm with no soft spots. The wrapping was dark brown with very fine veins, a work of art.

Pre-Light:
Woody earthy tones, very nice, gets your mouth watering.

Burn:
Very even, nice white ash. Easily up to 1.5 inches, good smoke.

Flavor:
First-third almost harsh..
Distant hint of pepper. No cedar or fruit as promised. Can't hold a candle to the G series which had more flavor after first-third than anything I've tried thus far. The O was an overall disappointment, maybe it was just a bad stick. I will try again to see, but as of now I will move on to other smokable expenditures.
