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. 

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.

SERIE V 

Serie V Natural is a complex blend of Nicaraguan long filler tobaccos, blended with specially fermented Jalapa Valley ligero and finished with a high priming Sun Grown Wrapper. These cigars are blended to deliver full body taste while maintaining an unparalleled smoothness.

Tasting Notes

This flavourful blend exhibits complex tobacco with rich coffee and dark chocolate tones. A subtle and well balanced spice is present throughout.

With a straight cut and toasting the foot, the first taste to hit me was a pleasant tobacco and black coffee with no sweetness. The burn was even and held the ash very well and just the smell of it was nice and not acrid like some. The second third was very similar to the first 3rd but maybe a little smoother than the 1st 3rd. Over 30 minutes in and getting closer to the band the flavours stayed the same which was enjoyable. Smoked this up to within a few mm of the band and that's when the band was removed with no issues whatsoever which proves the great construction of this cigar Final 3rd and the only difference I noted was a very small amount of pepperiness added to the enjoyable flavour. At no time did this get hot even as I smoked it right up to the nub as now it was getting hard to hold. Only once did this need to be relit and that was because of a phone call I took, and in total this cigar lasted me 1hr and 5 mins at my leisurely pace. This is a no nonsense must have cigar in anyone's humidor.

In my Top 10, and it was agonising trying to make that list of 10 fave cigars. So shocked at how affordable this cigar is considering it ticks nearly all of the right boxes you want for a casual cigar. I usually buy 4x of these at a time? truly an amazing cigar. Highly recommended.

A really enjoyable quality cigar with a nice even burn. Flavour started a bit harsh but mellowed nicely, very quickly. Would definitely buy again.

Absolutely delicious. Cocoa and espresso, which is something Oliva pull off as good as anyone. The same signature quality that Oliva is known for and why it's my favourite cigar brand.

So I’ve smoked a few cigars now but still relatively new to it. After recent successes in my work I finally decided to light one of these up in celebration/reflection. It was clear that these are very high quality, great construction, burn and the draw was to me perfect. They are well priced and for anyone like me who is looking a for a nice cigar but aren’t quite sure what to look for, this is very approachable but still has lots of flavour.
