Nicaragua's Top-Selling Super-Premium... '95' rated!
The award-winning Oliva Serie 'V' keeps getting better... When Oliva Serie 'V' hit the market, it was near impossible to pick up a box. The '94' rated gem had enthusiasts going crazy for close to year. As Nicaraguan cigars have become more and more popular, Oliva has been leading the pack, putting out a wide variety of premium cigars. Having fled Castro after the Cuban Revolution the Olivas have grown tobacco all over the world which has lent to their huge success in Nicaragua. Today they are among the largest growers of tobacco in Central America.
Oliva Serie 'V' Melanio has been impressing enthusiasts across the country since its inception. To be forever compared to its predecessor -- the original, '95' rated Serie ‘V' -- isn't fair for any release, but Melanio handles the pressure in more than impressive fashion. Featuring top-notch Nicaraguan long-fillers graced by gorgeous, Sumatra-seed wrappers grown in Ecuador, everything these box-pressed beauty beget is all elegance and luxury; mouth-watering at 1st sight before your torch even has a chance to light! Each super-premium produces a flavor profile packed with smooth nuances of cold brew coffee, sweet cedar, ginger snap, and a slight, citrusy zest on the finish. Oliva Serie 'V' Melanio is a must-try for every enthusiast!

Classic for a reason.

TL;DR - an exquisite, spicy smoke again. Mostly Cedar and coffee. The Nougat retro in the finish is seriously cool 😎 Recommended 👍 Aged 16 mos, dry-boxed 7 hours ⏳️ Mixed baking spices show up in the long finish.

TL;DR - an exquisite smoke. Mostly Cedar, coffee and hazelnut. The Nougat retro in the finish is seriously cool 😎 Recommended 👍 Aged 16 mos, dry-boxed 4.5 hours ⏳️ Light-up is easy 👌 Goldilocks construction and draw. Initial impressions: cedar and coffee to start. Hazelnut makes an appearance later in the smoke. Leather and caramel in the last third, and the Nougat finish at the end saves this otherwise linear cigar. Mixed baking spices show up in the long finish. Burn 🔥 is excellent. Amongst the best I've encountered in this regard. Medium flavors and medium nicotine. Pairing ideas: whiskey and scotch seem obvious.

Very consistent. You really can't go wrong with these if you you enjoy the chocolate notes. Burn and draw have been impeccable each time. I'm sure these have been reviewed at nausem but they are a good cigar

Easy smoke, light. Sweet with a little vanilla at first, slight chocolate toward end.

Nice cigar. Repeat review. I enjoy these and stocked up on them before having the maduro version. Not sure what I was thinking as I love maduros. These are good but the maduro is great. Not complaining but sometimes you get ahead of yourself.

Flavorful and smooth. The box pressed shape and feel really enhanced the experience. Gave the band to my brother while on the course as an instant recommendation. I’ll be stocking up.
