new too these, want to get some as presents for my old buddies
Having purchased some version of this a couple of times (cigar page has 50,000 deals a week it seems) I can sum it up like this:
Oliva good, *cough* Cigarpage good.
*cough cough*
I hope they'll open a sister site called COPDpage at some point.
I'm going to need it.
(Jokes aside, you can't go wrong with this sampler, make sure you keep the maduro robusto for yourself. Great smoke)

Oliva makes decent to great cigars. Most of the ones in this bundle are just decent. Usually in these Oliva bundles from Cigar page you'll at least get a couple series v's, and if you're really lucky they'll throw in a couple series v Melanios. At $2 a stick these are fine, and probably would be perfect cigars to throw at your non cigar smoking friends. But personally I'd wait for a deal that at least included a couple series v's.

I picked up a similar Oliva deal last year for a bachelor party. It went over really well even among the snobs. I'm going to pick up another set to prep for the summer season.

Solid deal on some good sticks. None of these will amaze you but all are good, some very good. (Taste being subjective but that's a pretty well accepted rating)
If you haven't jumped into cigars yet, this is a great place to start.
Get a large Ball jar to store them. (Cool, dark place) Sometimes Cigarpage will include a small boveda pack for humidity- other times they don't. If they do, toss everything into your jar and wait a week or two then dig in. If not, go pick up a 69 or 65% boveda.
If you don't have a cutter, no worry… use a clean razor blade to remove the very end of the end cap. (Remove a piece about the size of a pencil. Check your draw (inhale) and if it has air coming through without feeling like you're sucking a milkshake through a straw you are good. If it's tight, cut a bit more and recheck.
Use wood matches if no butane lighter, just let them burn a bit first to burn off that end. (Yes you can use a Bic, not ideal but it works. They do it in Cuba ALL the time)
It's not rocket science.
If I got these now, would they still be good if left sealed in the package until Christmas?
No…
These would need to be stored at proper humidity to last that long. They are usually sent in a humidity bag or with a humidity pack in a bag…. Neither will last that long. You might be able to store the whole thing in a glass jar but I've found those bags are hit and miss as far as humidity.
Also, these are not sticks you want to rest and age. (Most Nicaraguan and surrounding area's cigars don't age great) Cubans need age, the rest just need acclimation once brought home. 1-2 week up to a few months but after that they start to drop off)

I usually just wash it back down with some scotch anyway
