OLIVA

The Oliva Cigar story began in the late 1800s, when Melanio Oliva started growing cigar tobacco in Cuba. His heirs carried on the family tradition in the fields, but it was his grandson Gilberto Oliva Sr. who began making cigars. 

As with so many cigar stories, Gilberto Oliva Sr. faced a difficult road. He left his native Cuba in 1964, and eventually started working for the Plasencia family in Honduras. In 1995 he and his son Gilberto Jr. created a cigar within Plasencia’s factory called Gilberto Oliva. A year later, they set out to open a factory of their own, and shortened their brand name to Oliva.

Nicaraguan tobacco helped Oliva survive. The cigar that brought it to the attention of connoisseurs debuted in 2006: Oliva Serie V. Made by a small group of rollers and blended for strength and style, the Serie V line was an immediate hit. In 2012, to pay tribute to the first man in the family to grow cigar tobacco, Oliva added the Melanio version, which is distinguished from the original by its Sumatra-seed wrapper grown in Ecuador. The No. 1 Cigar of the Year 2014, Oliva Serie V Melanio Figuarado has rich, big notes of leather framed by a range of coffee, caramel and woody intonations. It’s a classic smoke.

OLIVA ORCHANT SELECCION 

This cigar is the result of collaboration between Mitchell Orchant, Tor Imports and Oliva to produce a uniquely blended Oliva cigar tailored to meet Mitchell’s high standards and the UK cigar smokers palate; all at affordable prices!

Mitchell underwent a rigorous sampling exercise in the summer of 2014 to carefully select the blend and create a stylish design using the award winning Serie V Melanio as his inspiration.

Tasting Notes

This cigar is a super creamy smoke, offering a silky array of aromas which fill the room. You will be introduced to spice as you begin this smoke which is complimented with cedar wood and a subtle pepper tone. This does mellow by the half way point and continues to be a creamy and delicious earthy and woody finale.

Smoked my first one of these and boy did I enjoy it. Had a dram of 10 year old speyside with and they complimented each other perfectly. Such a lovely smoke with a nice sweet finish. Can’t believe how good this was for the money. I’ll be back !

Im not sure if it was the romance of enjoying a cigar for the first time indoors or the fact this was such a wonderful smoke, but I am certainly a fan of this stick and endeavour to always have one available in my selection

This cigar was a frequent humidor filler 5 years ago, back then £7.99 great value stick and I would say still is. Thought to return and see how my palate as developed. Unlike many other cigars I’ve revisited I found I still enjoyed this, I find this cigar to be medium strength then picking up slightly half way, flavours are distinct but changes little throughout the smoke, with spice notes especially at beginning, notes of coffee, leather and woodiness are also experienced. Construction is great and I only had one this time but I recall them being very consistent. I recommend.... It’s very good cigar especially on a price point 4/5 stars.

Wonderful just wonderful. Had mine as a morning smoke with a coffee, a little hot & spicy for the first inch then smoothed out to woodiness with mild leather notes & some nutty flavors coming into play also. I was pleasantly surprised & I will be buying more to put into the rotation. A happy contented morning was had with this stick before getting on with the days work, what more do you want.

Too hot and peppery for me. I punched a hole as gentle as I could and the smoking end started to peel. The first third was like eating a chilli 🌶 and went out on me. However the rest smoked perfectly and calmed down on the pepper and hotness. Just my opinion really. If you like pepper I’m sure it’s great.
