About Oliva Cigars
Melanio Oliva cultivated his first tobacco crop in Pinar Del Rio, Cuba in 1886. His growing operations were suspended while he fought in the Cuban War of Independence. After returning from the war, Melanio resumed his tobacco growing operations. In the early l920’s Melanio’s son Facundo Oliva took over the growing operations. Facundo cultivated the Oliva family tobacco fields for several decades. As Cuba became overrun by the Communists, the tobacco landscape changed. Facundo’s son Gilberto Oliva shifted from growing, to brokering tobacco. In the early 60’s the pressure became too great and Gilberto traveled from country to country in search of the conditions to recreate that distinctive Cuban taste.

Premium cigar with great construction. Good draw, burn very even with really good looking ash. First third is a bit peppery but not too much, second third the pepper almost goes away the the coffee and chocolate note really shine. Gets really smooth during the second third with a medium smoke texture. This stick is medium strength and medium to full bodied. Medium finish as well. Final third is consistent with the first two but the coffee notes are more pronounced. Wonderful smoking experience. This is definitely a special occasion stick due to the price. Don’t waste it on newbies, they might not appreciate it. I recommend this cigar.

This is a pepper bomb that punches you in the face and makes you not able to taste something very well after smoking it
