Description

The Oliva V Melanio in NUB format with a length of 102mm and a ring gauge of 60, the small power pack shows what finest Nicaraguan tobacco can do. Full-spicy aromas of wood and leather start with a good pepperiness. Subtly sour herbal aromas mix with a full-bodied smoke development with sweet nutty nuances and lead to a constant but clearly creamy pleasure finish. Visually, the NUB impresses with a silky, shiny H2000 sungrown wrapper and impeccable workmanship. In general, with the V series, Oliva shows a successful concept that wonderfully combines balanced flavor with sweetness and pure power.

Each Olivacigar 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.
