Oliva Serie V Melanio Maduro

The Oliva Serie V Melanio Maduro elevates the celebrated Melanio blend into a darker, richer expression—one that honors Melanio Oliva, the first in the family’s tobacco-growing lineage. This cigar exemplifies everything enthusiasts love about Maduro craftsmanship: bold flavor, refined intensity, and impeccable complexity.

Box-pressed for a cool, even burn, the Melanio Maduro is built around aged Nicaraguan Habano long-fillers, delivering strength, depth, and signature Nicaraguan character. The star of the blend, however, is the San Andrés Maduro wrapper—thick, oily, beautifully fermented, and responsible for the cigar’s unmistakably dark sweetness and velvety richness.

From the first draw, expect a sophisticated interplay of flavors: espresso, earth, black pepper, spice, cocoa, and subtle natural sweetness. The profile is fuller and more indulgent than the original Serie V Melanio, yet remains balanced and elegant throughout the entire smoke.

Critics have taken notice. The Melanio Maduro earned a 93-point rating and was honored as #7 Cigar of the Year in 2021. Cigar Aficionado highlighted its “luxurious procession of rich, regal character,” noting accents of chocolate cake, baking spice, malted cocoa, and cedar—a testament to its flawless execution.

For Maduro lovers seeking depth and sophistication, the Oliva Serie V Melanio Maduro is a must-smoke masterpiece.
