Oliva Serie V Melanio 2023 Figurinos 5"1/2 * 52

A uniquely shaped medium-bodied cigar that offers rich notes of coffee and nuts with a pleasing floral aroma. Its Ecuadorian Sumatra-seed wrapper cloaks a Nicaraguan binder and aged long-filler leaves from Jalapa (which is one of Nicaragua’s top-tobacco growing regions). The cigars are handmade in Nicaragua. The Oliva Serie V Melanio 2023 Figurinos’ distinctive vitola was created by Frederik Vandermarliere, owner of Oliva’s parent company, Vandermarliere Family of Cigars. In sharp contrast to the other cigars in the Serie V Melanio line, the Figurinos is round instead of box-pressed, which adds to the cigar’s alluring appearance. This is one humidor worthy cigar you will want to reserve for a special occasion or enjoy as a special treat.

  Oliva Serie V Melanio

  Oliva Serie V Melanio is the long awaited follow up to the popular Oliva Serie V. Launched in 2012, the brand honors Melanio Oliva, the first of the Oliva family to grow tobacco in the 1800s. The Serie V Melanio are made of Nicaraguan filler and binder grown by the Oliva family, and finished with an Ecuador Sumatra seed tobacco also grown by Oliva.

Ecuador supplies Connecticut and Sumatra type wrappers to many cigar factory in the world.
