HISTORY
Melanio Oliva first grew tobacco in Pinar del Rio, Cuba, in 1886, and Oliva Cigars remain one of the most influential cigar makers in Nicaragua. Their award-winning excellent cigars have featured in Cigar Aficionado and Cigar Journal Cigars of the Year, year after year, reaching the peak of No. 1 Cigar of the Year in 2014 with the Oliva Serie V Melanio Figurado. In the same year, Oliva was the first New World Cigar maker to be awarded the prestigious UK Cigar Producer of the Year at a special award ceremony in London and in 2021, Serie V Melanio Figurado was named UK Cigar of the Year.
Across their ranges of the smooth Flor de Oliva blend, mild and smooth Serie O, the dark sweetness of Serie G and the beautiful oily Sun Grown wrapper on the full-bodied and complex Serie V, there is a cigar across all flavour profiles and budgets for every connoisseur to enjoy.
SERIE V
Serie V is a complex blend of Nicaraguan long filler tobaccos. Blended with specially fermented Jalapa Valley ligero and finished with a high priming Habano Sun Grown Wrapper.
These cigars are blended to deliver full-bodied taste while maintaining an unparalleled smoothness. This flavourful blend exhibits complex tobacco with rich coffee and dark chocolate tones.
A subtle and well-balanced spice is present throughout.
