  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. The company uses their most aged fillers for the Serie V line, and in the Serie V Melanio cigars they have added a bit more Jalapa tobacco to the blend, making it more flavorful without adding strength.

  Box-Pressed (Square)

  A box pressed cigar is a cigar that has a square shape. Originally, this shape came from the practice of packing round cigars tightly in cardboard boxes which are then compacted using a manual press. The cigars are thus pressed into each other and become a "squarish" or semi-square shape. Today, cigar makers use square shaped molds or a wooden trunk press for their box pressed cigars, achieving a more defined square section.
