Description
The Oliva Melanio Double Toro, a prominent offering from the Serie V Melanio Natural collection, stands as a testament to the art of hand-rolling cigars. Meticulously crafted, it features expertly fermented ligero fillers, leaves renowned for their robust and rich flavor. These elements converge to create an experience that surpasses the expectations of even the most discerning premium cigar aficionado. Notably, the Serie V Melanio Figurado, a relative in this esteemed series, garnered the prestigious title of Cigar Aficionado’s Cigar of the Year in 2014.
Each cigar in this series encapsulates a journey of five years in its creation, underscoring the skill and dedication poured into every piece. The long filler tobaccos harmoniously blend Oliva Nicaraguan Habano, with a special emphasis on tobacco from the Jalapa region. This region is celebrated for its nuanced leaf, distinct from those found in the Estelí or Condega regions. The result is a smoke enriched with a unique flavor profile, courtesy of the carefully aged Jalapa blend.
Upon indulging in the Oliva Melanio Double Toro, one is greeted with a full-flavored yet remarkably smooth experience. It presents a symphony of rich notes, encompassing leather, complemented by an array of coffee, caramel, and woody intonations. This symphony is a direct outcome of the meticulously aged Jalapa blend, which imbues the smoke with its distinctive flavor. Each puff of this cigar invites the smoker into a world of refined taste and exquisite craftsmanship.
