Although it has been on the shelf for a few years now, the
Oliva Serie V Melanio definitely lived up to the hype. If you're not familiar with it, it is Oliva's flagship blend. Medium to full in body, the Melanio offers a bit of spice without sacrificing smoothness. It also demonstrates notes of pepper, cream soda sweetness, dried red fruit, and cedar. You will notice that it is box pressed, an attribute that usually alludes to a great drawing cigar. The cigar itself is comprised of an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper, with a Nicaraguan binder and ligero fillers from the Jalapa region. It is rich, elegant, and refined.
The Melanio is available in 6 sizes;
Double Toro (6 x 60)
Churchill (7 x 50)
Petit Corona (4 1/2 x 46)
Figurado (6 1/2 x 52)
Robusto (5 x 52)
Torpedo (6 1/2 x 52)
