Oliva
The Oliva Cigar Company is one of the biggest producers in Nicaragua. Producing a number of different brands for various markets around the world. The family-owned company traces its roots to patriarch Melanio Oliva, who began growing tobacco in Pinar del Río, Cuba in 1886. However in 1964, in the aftermath of the 1959 Cuban Revolution, the family emigrated to Spain before eventually moving to Nicaragua and re-entering the tobacco business. Ever since, the family business has grown exponentially, establishing itself as a powerhouse at the forefront of quality assured hand-rolled cigars in the Nicaraguan Cigar industry.

Oliva Serie V Melanio Figurado - Single
Tasted June 2021
This is one of those cigars which really is the real deal. Medium to full-bodied, it starts initially with a burst of sweet leather, spice and nuts and progressively moves towards coffee and earth as you smoke down the stick. There is good intensity in the flavours which persist until the last draw. I love the shape and the fact that it is box-pressed too - it just ticks all my boxes!
