OLIVA

The Oliva Cigar story began in the late 1800s, when Melanio Oliva started growing cigar tobacco in Cuba. His heirs carried on the family tradition in the fields, but it was his grandson Gilberto Oliva Sr. who began making cigars. 

As with so many cigar stories, Gilberto Oliva Sr. faced a difficult road. He left his native Cuba in 1964, and eventually started working for the Plasencia family in Honduras. In 1995 he and his son Gilberto Jr. created a cigar within Plasencia’s factory called Gilberto Oliva. A year later, they set out to open a factory of their own, and shortened their brand name to Oliva.

Nicaraguan tobacco helped Oliva survive. The cigar that brought it to the attention of connoisseurs debuted in 2006: Oliva Serie V. Made by a small group of rollers and blended for strength and style, the Serie V line was an immediate hit. In 2012, to pay tribute to the first man in the family to grow cigar tobacco, Oliva added the Melanio version, which is distinguished from the original by its Sumatra-seed wrapper grown in Ecuador. The No. 1 Cigar of the Year 2014, Oliva Serie V Melanio Figuarado has rich, big notes of leather framed by a range of coffee, caramel and woody intonations. It’s a classic smoke.

OLIVA ORCHANT SELECCION 

This cigar is the result of collaboration between Mitchell Orchant, Tor Imports and Oliva to produce a uniquely blended Oliva cigar tailored to meet Mitchell’s high standards and the UK cigar smokers palate; all at affordable prices!

Mitchell underwent a rigorous sampling exercise in the summer of 2014 to carefully select the blend and create a stylish design using the award winning Serie V Melanio as his inspiration.

Tasting Notes

This cigar is a super creamy smoke, offering a silky array of aromas which fill the room. You will be introduced to spice as you begin this smoke which is complimented with cedar wood and a subtle pepper tone. This does mellow by the half way point and continues to be a creamy and delicious earthy and woody finale.

Absolutely stunning cigar, straight from the box. Arrived as box of cello-wrapped cigars, with a small boveda sachet. Couldnt resist trying - so lit one up immediately. I was very surprised at how good this is. The aroma is delicious and complex, there are a variety of flavours. I tasted nuts, milk chocolate, sweetened tea leaves, perfume, a touch of spice, occasional cardamom and coriander. The Oliva Serie V robusto is similar in flavour (and a very sturdy and consistent cigar), but this is on another level. Its got a flavour profile that is somewhere between a R&J at its best, and HDM Epi 2 (circa 2018), with a touch of Padron. No harshness, no intense smoky / coffee / earthy flavours like Davidoff. I love Cuban cigars. But this is the best non-Cuban Ive tried out of hundreds. Of course Im yet to let them loose in the humidor - they may get better or worse with time ( Olivas seem to be very resistant to changes in humidity).. but right now Im a very happy customer.

Quite simply this is an excellent cigar that knocks some of the more expensive Havana cigars of the same ilk into a cocked hat! Very impressed! What’s not to like!
