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.
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.
SERIE V MELANIO
The exclusive Oliva Serie V Melanio Toro Grande Edición Limitada 2020 is a fabulous cigar. Medium in body yet rich in flavour. For the development and blending of this Oliva Serie V Melanio Toro Grande Edición Limitada 2020, only the best Nicaraguan tobaccos are good enough.
Many of the tobaccos in the Oliva Serie V Melanio Toro Grande Edición Limitada 2020 come from the Jalapa region. Jalapa is a valley in the northern part of Nicaragua. It is right on the border with Honduras and it is one of the four major tobacco-growing regions of Nicaragua. Cigar tobacco from Jalapa is known for its smoother and subtler flavour, as well as its strength profile. The Oliva leaf operations grow tobacco in Jalapa, just like in Esteli and Condega. Oliva Cigar Company owner’ J. Cortes, acquired the Oliva leaf operations not too long ago.
The wrapper is also from an Oliva farm. But a farm in Ecuador. The wrapper is grown from exclusive Sumatra seeds, creating a delicate and extremely fine wrapper. The cigars are available in lacquered boxes of ten cigars. Unlike the regular production Oliva Serie V Melanio, the Oliva Serie V Melanio Toro Grande Edición Limitada 2020 is round. The regular Melanio cigars are all box-pressed.
