Oliva Serie V Melanio

The Oliva Serie V Melanio has arrived as a remarkable successor to the acclaimed Serie V and the sought-after Serie V Maduro. I’ll be honest, we had the opportunity to sample these fresh off the rolling table, and they exceeded all expectations. My advice? Secure your Melanio cigars now before demand leads to backorders.

Oliva Serie V Melanio will impress you from the start with its beautiful Ecuadorian-grown Sumatra wrapper, which is dark, thick, oily, and seamlessly applied. Inside, you’ll find a rich blend of Nicaraguan ligero tobaccos, including some of Oliva’s most treasured leaves from Condega and Esteli, along with additional tobaccos from Jalapa to enhance flavor and aroma. This full-bodied cigar offers a complex profile with notes of black pepper, freshly-baked bread, unsweetened cocoa, toasted nuances, and lightly creamed coffee. It’s a delicious offering from one of Nicaragua’s most renowned cigar-making families.

The Serie V Melanio was named the #1 Cigar of 2014 and most recently #8 Cigar of 2020, earning an impressive 96-point rating that highlighted its rich notes of leather, coffee, caramel, and wood.
