Oliva Serie v Malanio Gran Reserve

The story of Oliva Cigars began in the late 1800s when Melanio Oliva started cultivating cigar tobacco in Cuba. While his descendants continued the family tradition in the fields, it was his grandson, Gilberto Oliva Sr., who took the significant step of crafting cigars.

Nicaraguan tobacco played a crucial role in Oliva's resilience. The cigar that garnered attention from connoisseurs was the Oliva Serie V, which debuted in 2006. Crafted by a small team of skilled rollers and meticulously blended for both strength and style, the Serie V line quickly became a favourite. In 2012, in honour of the family's first tobacco grower, Oliva introduced the Melanio version, characterised by its Ecuadorian Sumatra-seed wrapper. The Oliva Serie V Melanio Figurado, named the No. 1 Cigar of the Year in 2014, boasts rich, robust notes of leather complemented by a medley of coffee, caramel, and woody nuances. It’s truly a classic smoke.
