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.

I bought a sampler of these and tried the chubby first. This was partly due to my preference for shorter cigars in this weather but also because the outer wrapper was cracked. It may be the postmans eager method of delivery but it did get me thinking just how premium this would be given it came in cellophane. This was quickly dispelled however as the quality came through after the first puff. The fillers lost no shape without the wrapper. It lit very easily which is contrary to my experience with other similar size cigars. That burn was even throughout though which was another indication of the quality. In terms of flavour, first came a huge kick of spicy and earthy notes. It did mellow out after about 15 min though and ended with some good hints of cocoa. Each puff produced a huge amout of smoke. About the same as three or four on the average corona as a result of the of the ring guage. All in all a decent cigar. As a lover of sweeter blends like r and j or hoyo, I'm not sure I would invest in a box but I'll reserve full jugement until I try the others in the range.
