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.

Belting little cigar, Ive had a couple now and each one has had a good draw and burn and have been built well. They tend to start off a little peppery and become a nice smooth tasting cigar definitely becoming a regular smoke for me.

Oliva is one of the best nicaraguan cigars on the market with lots of awards and it's also famous for excellent quality tobacco. Made exclusive for us, Oliva Orchant selection Cigar range is available in 3 different sizes exclusive to C.Gars Ltd. Today I am sampling the Chubby guy of the selection which is exactly his name, Oliva Chubby with 4” length x 60 ring gauge. A very popular size in the UK. We tried to make this cigar especially for all the Havana smokers; Even if they are constructed in Nicaragua you will find them very close to the Cuban Palate. The presentation is lovely, boxed in 10’ with a nice construction composed by Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper as the Oliva V Melanio series, the most exclusive and selected line made by Oliva, and Nicaraguan binder and fillers. I would like to advise our customers to use a big blade cutter, something shorter than 56-60 ring blade can damage the cigar. This Chubby begins very sweet, woody with a few notes of white pepper on the palate. The cigar is leaving a very rich medium strength sweet smoke which reminds me of a delicious cup of milky coffee in the mornings. Finally ends with a lovely creamy taste and a very well balance peppery notes on the palate. Gorgeous, the draw was perfect during the whole smoke. David – Turmeaus, Cigars and Whisky Liverpool.

I have just smoked this while on a windy walk with the dog, so no coffee or beer. I too found it one dimensional, however I really enjoyed it. It had easy draw, good feel and burned really well. I would happily buy again.

Love these! Very smooth and sweet but not too sweet, like a creamy vanilla flavour! Great construction & all round burn. Always a pleasant aroma - really want to buy a box & age them but ahhh cash is always the problem... have to dig deep this winter and buy them for next year! I've had the shorty and the fatty, both very good cigars but the fatty just feels so right in the hand, very manly and macho, you know? Brilliant work, I will BUY A BOX, I MUST HAVE ONE!

Beautiful cigars, good fat and full of flavour. I like leaving these for a while 5-6 months and they are great I never buy a box of these but I really should.... Flavour wise I get nice sweet woody notes and with hints of spice. I have these normally with a Nicaraguan coffee and they go hand in hand.
