Named for Melanio Oliva, the family patriarch believed to be the first member of the family to grow tobacco in Cuba. Oliva Serie V Melanio ranks among the world's most highly regarded cigars. Year after year, these blends claim top honors on industry award lists. Cigar Aficionado has recognized the line repeatedly: #1 in 2014 (Figurado Natural), #6 in 2024 (Torpedo Maduro), #7 in 2021 (Churchill Maduro), #8 in 2020 and 2018 (Churchill Natural), and #8 in 2016 (Robusto Natural).
Perfectly fermented ligero long-fillers blend Oliva Nicaraguan Habano with an emphasis on tobacco from the Jalapa region, an area known for more nuanced leaf than Esteli or Condega. Full-flavored yet ultra-smooth, these top-rated luxurious cigars exceed the highest expectations. Start with a 5-pack or order a box and discover why the Melanio line continues to dominate year-end rankings.
