Oliva Serie V Melanio Double Toro
The Oliva Serie V Melanio Double Toro is one of the most acclaimed cigars in the Oliva portfolio, created as a tribute to Melanio Oliva, the first member of the Oliva family to cultivate tobacco in Cuba during the late 1800s. Handcrafted in Nicaragua, the Serie V Melanio is renowned for its exceptional construction, luxurious complexity, and refined balance, making it one of the highest-rated regular-production cigars in the world.
The Double Toro vitola provides an extended smoking experience, allowing the blend's rich Nicaraguan ligero tobaccos and premium Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper to develop gradually. The result is a sophisticated medium-to-full-bodied cigar with remarkable depth, smoothness, and complexity from start to finish.
