Oliva Serie V Melanio Robusto is a medium-to-full-bodied Nicaraguan cigar in a refined, box-pressed 5 x 52 Robusto format. Handmade by Oliva, it offers a concentrated expression of the acclaimed Melanio blend, combining expertly fermented Nicaraguan ligero tobaccos with a silky Ecuadorian Sumatra-seed wrapper.
The Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper covers a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan long fillers, with the blend centered on rich Jalapa-grown tobaccos. The wrapper adds natural sweetness, cocoa, leather and a smooth texture, while the Nicaraguan core delivers espresso, cedar, earth and pepper. Its box-pressed shape feels comfortable in the hand and contributes to a cool, consistent draw.
Expect flavours of espresso, dark chocolate, leather, cedar, toasted bread, earth, roasted nuts, black pepper and caramel-like sweetness. The cigar opens with coffee, cocoa and a measured spice before developing richer leather and cedar through the middle. The final third brings deeper earth and pepper, balanced by the wrapper’s natural sweetness and a creamy texture.
Oliva Serie V Melanio Robusto is an excellent choice for smokers seeking a premium, complex Nicaraguan cigar in a compact format. Pair it with espresso, bourbon, aged rum, port, a dark stout or a mature single-malt Scotch.

Excellent cigar. Medium bodied, good burn. Slightly tight draw. Great from the beginning to the end.

This is truly the king of kings ! If you have never had one you are missing out . If you like a smooth slightly sweet and peppery medium bodied smoke this is for you .

That is a fantastic cigar. Complex flavour medium to full with a perfect construction draw and burn. Great smoke output. Really a must try.
