Description

Cigar companies have found many reasons to release limited edition cigars to commemorate something, but Oliva’s newest release may be the first to pay homage to a factory renovation. The Oliva Serie V Double Robusto Special Tabolisa Uno Edition is a specially packaged version of the Serie V Double Robusto cigars. As the name and packaging suggest, it pays tribute to the renovation that took place in 2019 at the Tabacalera Oliva de Nicaragua S.A. factory. No. 1 in Estelí, Nicaragua, better known as TABOLISA 1 or TABOLISA Uno. While the cigars are the same as the regular Serie V Double Robusto, the packaging is radically different from the regular cigar. It is designed to look like the factory, especially the front view. Inside each box are 10 cigars, each packed in a wooden case. One side of each case displays the front view either in the form of a window, door, or the TABOLISA logo. Boxes are limited to 1,000 boxes. The cigars included in the box are from the first 10,000 cigars produced in the renovated factory.

Serie V is a complex blend of Nicaraguan long filler tobacco, combined with the specially fermented ligero from the Jalapa valley and the excellent Habano Sun Grown wrapper. This cigar is blended to offer a full flavor while maintaining an unparalleled softness. This delicious blend combines sophisticated tobacco flavors with rich notes of milk and dark chocolate. A thin and well-balanced aroma of spice is present throughout.

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.
