#8 Cigar Aficionado Top 25 2018 / Cigar Aficionado Rating 94 / Cigar Journal Rating 91
Serie V Melanio Natural is hand rolled using expertly fermented ligero fillers, leaves known for their robust and rich flavour. Five years in the making, these special cigars are sure to exceed a premium cigar smoker’s highest expectations. This skill and dedication were rewarded in 2014 when the Serie V Melanio Figurado was named Cigar Aficionado Cigar of the Year.
The long filler tobaccos are a blend of Oliva Nicaraguan Habano that emphasises tobacco from the Jalapa region, an area known for a more nuanced leaf than the Estelà or Condega regions. This carefully aged Jalapa blend produces a particularly flavoured smoke.
These cigars are full flavoured yet smooth with rich big notes of leather framed by a range of coffee, caramel and woody intonations. The carefully aged Jalapa blend produces a particularly flavoured smoke.

Great quality cigar. Amazing flavours. Construction was perfect, as you would expect from Oliva. Perfect burn, would highly recommend!

One of the smoothest and creamiest cigars out there. Always a great draw and even burn.
