Oliva is one of Nicaragua's most acclaimed family cigar makers, based in Estelí. The Serie V Melanio — named for family patriarch Melanio Oliva — is a refined, box-pressed flagship wrapped in a sun-grown Ecuadorian Habano leaf, celebrated for its balance of strength and complexity.
An Ecuadorian Habano wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler, built in the Box-Pressed Toro format. Box count: 10 cigars.
Medium to full-bodied and refined — cedar, espresso, cocoa, black pepper, and a sweet, toasty character from the sun-grown Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, with a long, elegant finish.
Alcoholic: a bold bourbon or an aged rum. Non-Alcoholic: a dark-roast coffee.
A rewarding after-dinner smoke. Allow 60 minutes.
