With 2021 marking the 135th anniversary of the year that Oliva family patriarch, Melanio Oliva, first grew premium tobacco in Cuba, the company has rolled out multiple celebratory smoking experiences. One such cigar is the Oliva Serie V Melanio 4×60 cigar (aka Oliva Serie V Melanio Edición Limitada 2021).
This special size brings the company's fan-favorite NUb format to the more premium realm of Oliva's top-rated Melanio blend. The NUb was originally billed as showcasing the cigar's sweet spot, with the short/stout format cutting straight to the chase with complex flavor, smooth draw, and billowing smoke output. The Oliva Serie V Melanio 4×60 cigar is box-pressed, allowing the hearty Nicaraguan filler leaves to meld to perfection. This makes for a medium-full body, gradually evolving with long-lasting flavors of freshly ground coffee, leather, red pepper, and brown sugar.
