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 MELANIO MADURO
Serie V Melanio Maduro is the next edition of the highly rated Serie V Melanio line. Made from a blend of Nicaraguan Habano grown in the Jalapa region of the country and wrapped in a Mexican Maduro from the lush San Andres valley, these unique cigars are sure to satisfy the highest expectations of Maduro cigar smokers.
At the beginning, these box-pressed cigars are mild and creamy with a slightly sweet taste; they then develop coffee and earthy aromas as well as a delicate bitterness. They are flavourful and multi-layered.
