It’s no secret that Oliva Serie V Melanio cigars stand as the pinnacle of the Oliva Cigar Company's accomplishments, their prestige solidified with their #1 ranking and 96 rating in Cigar Aficionado's 2014 list of Top 25 Cigars. Since 2017, the combined efforts of the Oliva and Vandermarliere families birthed an exclusive Serie V Melanio variant, tailor-made as a limited edition for non-U.S. markets. One of their greatest creations was revealed in July 2023, at the PCA trade show: The Oliva Serie V Melanio Edición Año 2023 Figuriño, now accessible to cigar enthusiasts in the U.S.


The Figuriño distinguishes itself with a 5 ½'' x 54 perfecto shape, setting it apart from the customary box-pressed format of its Melanio counterparts. This cigar maintains the Serie V Melanio's signature band, accentuated by a striking red band denoting the year of its debut. Each of these perfectos is a masterpiece, meticulously hand-rolled by an elite group of the world's most adept torcedores. The blend comprises aged ligero filler and binder tobaccos from Nicaragua, enveloped in a radiant Ecuadoran sun-grown wrapper. The outcome? A cigar that's robust yet extraordinarily refined, epitomizing Oliva Cigars' world-class blending prowess.


Once lit, this perfecto unveils its majesty: an immaculately rolled, lustrous dark brown stogie that delivers voluminous blue smoke with an easy draw. It tantalizes the palate with an initial burst of ligero spice, which soon gives way to undertones of coffee and dark chocolate. As it progresses, the spice intensifies, culminating in a rich, velvety finish adorned with notes of nutmeg and cocoa. It’s deeply powerful, yet incomparably smooth. These fine smokes are a “connoisseur's only” cigar, meant for experienced palates, and make a wonderful celebratory smoke and can be paired with anything from single-malt scotch to port wine, and everything in between.


The Oliva Serie V Melanio Edición Año 2023 Figuriño underscores Oliva's philosophy: harmonizing tradition with innovation while honoring the essence of the craft - purity and purpose. They believe this limited edition will provide profound moments of pleasure to the staunchest fans of fine cigars. The Melanio line stands as a testament to Oliva's unwavering excellence in the realm of tobacco, a name that resonates deeply with connoisseurs. This release elevates the Melanio line to new heights and is considered a “must-try” for all Oliva fans. With an availability limited to 14,500 boxes of 10 cigars, this is not a cigar you’ll want to miss.
