Cigar Aficionado No. 1 Cigar of 2014, the Oliva Serie V Melanio Figurado Cigars were rated a massive 96 by Cigar Aficionado Magazine who referred to this legendary cigar as “the pinnacle of achievement for Oliva Cigar Company”.Ā  Oliva Serie V cigars are hand rolled using expertly fermented ligero fillers, known for their robust and rich flavor. Five years in the making, this special cigar is sure to exceed a premium cigar smoker’s highest expectations.Ā  The Serie V Melanio is full flavored yet smooth. The long filler tobaccos are a blend of Oliva Nicaraguan Habano that emphasizes tobacco from the Jalapa region, an area known for a more nuanced leaf than the Esteli or Condega regions. This carefully aged Jalapa blend produces a particularly flavored smoke.Ā  Finished with a Sumatra-seed wrapped grown exclusively in Ecuador, the Melanio line is only rolled by a small and select group of skilled rollers.Ā  This is evident just by looking at the Figurado, which in itself is simply a work of art.Ā  This is a special cigar, and another in a long line of Oliva cigars that have racked up awards and accolades…at least 9 years in a row with cigars on Cigar Aficionado’s Top 25 Cigars of the Year list…maybe more, we’ve lost count!

Oliva Serie V Melanio cigars are hand rolled using expertly fermented ligero long fillers. These are leaves known for their robust and deeply rich flavor. A special cigar that’s sure to exceed a premium cigar smokerā€™s highest expectation. This carefully aged Jalapa blend produces a particularly flavored smoke. Rated 96 and winner of Cigar Aficionado’s Cigar of the Year in 2014.

The Oliva cigar heritage dates back well over 100 years, when Melanio Oliva cultivated his first tobacco crop in the fertile Pinar Del Rio region of Cuba in 1886. His growing operations were suspended while he fought in the Cuban War of Independence. Upon returning from the war, Melanio again took up cigar manufacturing. In the 1920ā€™s Melanioā€™s son Facundo Oliva took the mantle of the cigar production, and he cultivated the Oliva family fields for many decades.

As the communists took over Cuba, the tobacco landscape changed and Facundoā€™s son Gilberto Oliva shifted from the growing business, to brokering tobacco. Then in the early 60ā€™s the political pressure in Cuba became too great and, like so many in the business, Gilberto was forced to seek a country where the conditions allowed him to recreate that distinctive Cuban taste.

Gilberto finally found that fertile ground in Nicaragua, and today Gilberto along with his family are Nicaraguaā€™s second largest grower of Cuban seed tobacco. From the same time tested methods of growing, curing, blending, and cigar rolling that built an empire, the Oliva cigar range has since earned many top industry accolades, awards and top ratings, from industry experts, publications and consumers alike. None greater than 2014 when Cigar Aficionado Magazine awarding the Oliva Serie V Melanio Figurado Cigar of the Year.

      Incredible, almost left me speechless. lives up to its 96 rating. The craftsmanship of these sticks is amazing, an even burn with loads of smoke.
