Oliva Serie V Melanio Robusto (5×50) 5 Pack

Named after family patriarch Melanio Oliva, who first planted tobacco in Cuba’s Pinar del Rio in 1886, this cigar was five years in the making and worth every day of the wait. The Serie V Melanio Robusto earned the coveted #1 Cigar of the Year from Cigar Aficionado with a 96-point rating, and one puff tells you exactly why. This 5×50 box-pressed Robusto pairs expertly fermented Jalapa Valley ligero fillers and well-aged Nicaraguan binder beneath a caramel-hued Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper that Oliva had never used before this blend. The result is stunning. Creamy, nuanced layers of roasted nuts, sweet cedar, and dark cocoa lead into a refined leather and baking spice finish that evolves beautifully from first light to the last inch. The Sumatra wrapper adds an elegance and complexity that sets the Melanio apart from the rest of the Serie V family. This is the cigar that cemented Oliva’s legacy among the very best in the world.
