Oliva Serie V Melanio Edicion Ano 2025 Robusto Extra - 1 Single - LIMITED EDITION

Date Added: Sunday 14 June, 2026 by Barry

Hands down the best cigar I've ever had...with the possible exception of The Tabernacle David, although this probably edges just ahead.

Beautiful looking cigar, lovely dark tan, exceptionally toothy but massively oily wrapper. The tri bands are as with all limited edition Olivia cigars noticeable but classy.

Construction is absolutely phenomenal, cut with a single V the draw is about as perfect as you'll ever experience producing thick, brilliant white smoke, burn line is the sharpest I've ever seen with no corrections needed throughout the entire smoke. Ash retention is somewhat hypnotic...it just holds on dropping at the halfway point to reveal a perfect cone.

Flavour profile is dry leather alongside a rich hazelnut, pecan and walnut with a light coffee, shifts to bittersweet dark chocolate and cacao powder, ends with strong espresso, there's also a delicious caramel and sweet raisin note throughout.

It's an imposing cigar taking a good 90 minutes to smoke; however, body never exceeds medium and strength remains low until the final third where it ramps up to medium.

Worth every single penny, most definitely worth buying a box.
