I wonder if I'd even get a straight answer RE: this cigar but here goes. What's the verdict, anyone? |

If you can't afford firsts, smoke pipe tobacco... |

Years ago, CI played that game with RP Edges....'We offer you the privilege of paying us so you can guess what cigar you might get:" Took maybe a couple weeks of research and teamwork before they were all identified and a key was maintained here on cbid.
Wasn't a bad exercise.....I went through a few bundles of edge corojo 2nd's at about 3/4 cost of 1sts.....I wouldn't waste my time today, but then again, we're talking Olivas....if you get them all figured out, however...let us know the code....I might consider bidding on some reserve connies or V lance 2nds if they're going for real cheap |

This? BEWARE! - My pals and I fondly remembered the 2008-era RP X-Outs at CI because they were cheap and excellent, seemingly totally identical to the branded/banded real thing. You just had to know the Liga codes and what they meant, and you were golden. Also, some like the Liga A maduros aged incredibly well, as a bonus. They disappeared for many years. Then all of a sudden last summer (2017), CI started selling them again with some story about (paraphrasing) "these were stuffed in a corner of the warehouse since those old days and we forgot about them and just found them now, and they have tons of age of them!" This is a type of story often heard in the industry (forgotten bales of tobacco or forgotten pallets of cigars!). If you think it sounds quite unlikely, yes, my pals and I do, too, and so do many other people in the cigar world. But, it could be the truth, so we bought some. Our unanimous opinion: they seemed clearly not the same, and in our opinion were garbage compared to what we got in 2008. They were packaged the same (triangular cello bundles of 15) and even had similar paper inserts (with the Liga designation, etc.), but were, in our opinions, CLEARLY NOT anywhere near the 2008 ones in construction, flavor, or overall quality. Not even CLOSE. We returned them all for a refund. So, beware if you see the RP X-Outs offered again. Smoke a few for evaluation BEFORE you buy in bulk. (Disclaimer: notice I kept saying "in our opinion(s)". We're not making statements of fact, we're just saying what our eyes, fingers, tastebuds and noses experienced about the new bundles, and how that compared to the bundles we had enjoyed previously). . |

Well said Mittens. You said it all in that thread |
| 12. Author: JR54 | Date: Fri, 11/16/2018, 2:21PM EST | |
Best guess...
Liga C = Oliva G Cameroon
Liga F = Flor de Oliva
Liga G = Oliva G maduro
Liga M = Oliva Master Blends
Liga O = Oliva Serie O
Liga OM = Oliva Serie O maduro
Liga P = ?
Liga S = Oliva Saison
Liga SM = Oliva Saison maduro
Liga V = Oliva Serie V
Liga VM = Oliva Serie V melanio maduro
Liga W = Oliva Connecticut Reserve

anyone figured out what Liga P is yet? |
| 14. Author: 24132413 | Date: Sun, 1/20/2019, 11:58PM EST | |
the VM and V are solid, enjoyable smokes. A bundle of 15 for no more then $35 is a good buy!  |

Resurrecting this thread as I just bid on some seconds. If the key is close to right I'm good. Actually any Oliva is pretty much in my wheelhouse. |
| 16. Author: Chilly Willie | Date: Mon, 10/14/2019, 9:34AM EST | |
Liga P = The Reckoning or Inferno |

Old thread, yet I just got in a 15 pack of the Oliva V Robusto Seconds, paid $33. They felt ready to smoke so just tried one. The first 1/5 of the smoke was somewhat bitter, but did mellow out. Overall, not too bad at $2 a pop. The burn was good and didn't need too many touch-ups and the ash was excellent. Decent cigar to when walking the dog or hanging out in the yard. |

I totally forgot about this forum and only recently discovered it when searching for a few things. Right now, enjoying a few beers, a nice heavy Belgium Gulden Draak followed by a lightweight Yuengling Lager along with my fave stick, Liga Privada #9 Toro. Life is good! |
| 20. Author: Notthe1 | Date: Fri, 6/26/2020, 3:54PM EST | |
I do like the Liga No. 9. The Yeungling is also one of my favs. Don't think I have mixed the two, but worth a try when ever I get a Liga in My Humi! |
