I had my first Ramon Bueso "project", and I dont know if its just me, but if I closed my eyes, I swear I was garing a Oliva V...i know this may be a stretch, and I am no cigar afficionado, but the flavor profile is sooo close, I know we are talking gold and bronze I guess, but really enjoyed it because I ama Oliva V fan..i had the toro vitola

Maybe smoked a young one to get that similar flavor profile?? I always thought they were very different profiles. I might need to smoke two back to back.

Taste is subjective hell I smoked a cheap cigar last night with a years rest and the retrohale towards the last third tasted just like after I take a drink of dr pepper and exhale. Anyone else might not have gotten that flavor but I did and it tasted good so if the genesis tastes like an oliva v then that's awesome.

Think it is your perception. I find the 2 very different.

I agree, nothing alike.

Project just tastes like a good Maduro worthy of car rides to/from work.

Oliva V is more a golfing dark habano type smoke.

To me, it really doesn't remind me of anything, but does taste mostly like a maduro.

I think it kinda tastes like a Pepin/Padilla 1932. [sarcasm]

The Project tastes more like an Undercrown than it does a Oliva V IMO.

Here's a prediction:
Ramon Bueso will, sooner than later, come out with a 4x40ish "mini Genesis".
I think it will be good.
I think it will sell well.

I think I would bid.
I think I might even overbid on such a cigar.

Love the "V", Habano, spicy, etc.

Love the Project also, but to me, definitely a different taste, sweet, cocoa, less spice

Is it just me or does talking about a cigar in here do this to cigars out there?

In fact, this is the only cigar DP would pay $3 each for.

RIP DP.......

And, if a Quorum smokes better than a Cuban Cohiba, comparing a Ramon Bueso to an Oliva V is not too far of a stretch. Wouldn't you say?

It's not just you. Everytime I go to post on the whatcha smoking topic there is a guest or 3 or 4 or more looking in. If we talked up Ron Mexico and CBID put up some fivers, they would probably get 15 or more for them.

I've got two Genesis Habanos I'm resting based on what I saw on previous threads. Looking forward to having one in a month or two. Never tried the Project, but it's on my list.
