The company's flagship brand, Oliva Serie V, has obtained some of the highest ratings in cigar publications worldwide. Their cigars use mostly tobacco harvested by the company in their various farms in Nicaragua.
• Cigar Wrapper
  Mexican San Andres Sumatra

  The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
  Mexican Sumatra-seed tobacco is grown in the San Andres valley and is called Mexican Sumatra. Typically used for wrappers, this dark tobacco is smooth, peppery and light. The leaves are thick so they are often used as maduro wrappers.
• Cigar Binder
  Cameroon

  The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together. 
  Cameroon tobacco is fragile and thin but gives the cigar a sweet and light flavor. It is cultivated in the West African countries of Cameroon and Central African Republic.
• Cigar Filler
  Nicaragua

  Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
