Oliva Serie V Melanio natural cigars are full-bodied flavored yet smooth. The long filler tobaccos are a blend of Oliva Nicaraguan Habano that emphasizes tobacco from the Jalapa region, an area know for a more nuanced leaf than the Esteli or Condega regions. This carefully aged Jalapa blend produces a particulary flavored smoke. It’s no surprise that this cigar was named the #1 Cigar of 2014 by Cigar Aficionado with a 96 point rating.
