OLIVA – Centuries of love for tobacco, cigars and life!!!

From their Serie G and Serie V lines, Oliva has a foothold in the strong and full-bodied-cigar market, but when smokers at events started asking for a milder stick, Oliva set its sights on this new area. Oliva’s Connecticut Reserve is an amazing mild-to-medium body cigar that hits all the right flavor notes. Made in Nicaragua, this cigar has a surprising blend of Nicaraguan filler and binder tobaccos given its lighter body. The wrapper is a golden Ecuadorian Connecticut and provides an amazing creaminess to the smoke.

Each Oliva cigar contains a piece of rich history that goes back many years  to 1886 where Melanio Oliva cultivated tobacco in Pinar del Rio, Cuba. In the late 1950s, the grandson of the Gilberto Oliva family was forced to leave his homeland and go to Nicaragua. Gilberto’s insistence and constant search for the best tobacco led the 4th generation of the family to turn these quality tobacco into handmade premium-quality cigars.
Then they joined forces with the Belgian Vandermarliere family, founders of J. Cortes, who shared the same struggle for cigars, tradition and family. Since then, the two grandsons  of the families,
Fred and Jose, are in the “steering wheel” keeping their traditions and supporting each other on both sides of the Atlantic.
