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 MELANIO EDICION ANO 2025 - LIMITED EDITION
The Oliva Serie V Melanio Edición Año 2025 is a limited-edition Robusto Extra (5″ × 54) that pays homage to the heart of tobacco craftsmanship — from seed to leaf. Rolled at Oliva’s famed Tabolisa factory in Estelí, Nicaragua, this cigar features a lustrous Ecuador Sumatra wrapper atop Nicaraguan long-filler tobaccos grown on Oliva’s very own farms. The result is a rich, medium-to-full bodied smoke with layered flavours of cedar, leather and espresso, balanced by warm notes of caramel and raisin. Presented in elegantly crafted 10-count boxes, this is a collector’s dream and a true celebration of the pure, raw beauty of tobacco.
