Oliva Serie V Melanio Torpedo stands out by combining an Ecuadorian Sumatra seed wrapper with a core of extensively aged Nicaraguan ligero from Jalapa for a full bodied yet ultra refined profile. Rolled in a box pressed 6 1/2 x 52 Torpedo, it delivers a long, focused draw that concentrates flavours of roasted coffee, dark chocolate, caramel, toasted wood, and baking spice with a measured pepper presence that never overwhelms. Construction is handled by Oliva’s most experienced rollers, producing a firm pack, straight burn line, and dense, creamy smoke that keeps its balance deep into the final third.
Handmade in Nicaragua, Serie V Melanio was five years in development and went on to earn a 96 rating and 2014 Cigar of the Year honours, cementing its reputation as the pinnacle of the Oliva portfolio. The Jalapa led blend is known for a particularly nuanced, flavourful character that tempers its strength with elegance, making this Torpedo a natural choice for slow, contemplative sessions and pairings with richer coffees or aged spirits. Packed in compact boxes of 10, it offers an accessible way to keep a top rated, full bodied Nicaraguan classic on hand without committing to a large format cabinet.

This is a cigar that isn’t balanced flavour wise, the taste punches you in your face and the retrohale is so red chili hot it needs lots of age
