(The) Contest Day 2: Oliva Special S Diadema (7 x 48)


It’s not the massive 9 x 52 Special S Diadema, but it’s still part of Oliva’s least known line. The Special S was introduced in 2006, before the introduction of Serie V, and was billed as Oliva’s top shelf cigar, and it was priced that way as well. A combination of things, including the Serie V, brought the Special S to a pretty quick end and Oliva’s most expensive line is now almost exclusively sold on the secondary market.

Only had a Oliva V, so this looks interesting.

If this stick has even 1/2 the quality of the V than I'm in.

My favorite thing about this contest is the sticker in the background.

Looks like a sweet stick.  Like the sub 50 ring gauge.
