Oliva Serie V Belicoso: A Decade of Excellence

A Tradition of Strength and Complexity

Ten years ago, the Oliva Cigar Co. introduced the Serie V, marking a significant moment in their history. The Oliva Serie V Belicoso stood out as their strongest and most full-bodied creation to date. However, its true distinction lay in its ability to present a rich tapestry of flavors, despite its formidable strength. Today, a decade later, the Serie V maintains this exceptional quality and consistency, a testament to Oliva’s commitment to excellence.

Consistency Amidst Change

In 2016, a pivotal change occurred when Oliva Cigar was acquired by J. Cortés Cigars N.V., a renowned European cigarmaker. This acquisition raised questions about the potential impact on the quality and character of Oliva cigars. However, these concerns were swiftly allayed. J. Cortés made a strategic decision to retain José Oliva as president, ensuring continuity in craftsmanship and quality. The transition has been seamless, with the Serie V continuing to deliver an extraordinary smoking experience.

A Rich and Balanced Blend

At the heart of the Serie V’s enduring appeal is its blend. It features robust, ligero tobacco from Nicaragua’s Jalapa Valley, renowned for its strength and flavor. Complementing this is a high-priming wrapper, meticulously chosen to complete the cigar’s flavor profile. Smokers are treated to a rich symphony of earth, leather, and spice, harmoniously balanced with a subtle sweetness reminiscent of molasses. This complex yet refined taste profile is available at a surprisingly affordable price, making the Serie V not only a triumph of flavor but also of value.
