Description
The Oliva cigar story dates back to the late 1800s when Melanio Oliva started growing cigar tobacco in Cuba. The family tradition continued in the fields and was brought to life by his grandson, Gilberto Oliva Sr, who started making cigars.
Oliva’s survival was due to Nicaraguan tobacco and the debut of the acclaimed Oliva Serie V in 2006. Expertly blended for strength and style, the Serie V was an instant hit. In 2012, the Melanio version was added to honor the first family member to grow cigar tobacco, featuring a Sumatra-seed wrapper grown in Ecuador, which set it apart from the original.
Serie O is a Puro. Made in the original tradition of growing popular seeds in diverse regions of the country to produce a distinct blend. This blend was achieved by growing their seeds in Esteli, Condega and Jalapa Valley.
Tasting notes:
A sweet and spicy smoke layered with notes of chocolate, cedar and a hint of caramel.
