Oliva Serie V Melanio Toro

The Oliva Serie V Melanio Toro is a masterclass in complexity, showcasing the company's dedication to excellence. Following its acquisition by the Vandermarliere Cigar Family in 2016, Oliva Cigar Co. has continued to elevate its standards, with founder Fred Vandermarliere pledging to uphold the high-quality traditions established by the Oliva family. This commitment is evident in the company's significant investments, including a state-of-the-art facility in Nicaragua that enables optimal tobacco fermentation, aging, and processing. The expansion has also led to a doubling of rolling capacity and growth in agricultural operations. Rather than compromising quality, these developments have driven Oliva to new heights, with the Serie V Melanio Toro being a standout example. This Toro boasts a rich, Ecuadorian-grown Sumatra-seed wrapper and a blend of Nicaraguan tobaccos, delivering a richly layered smoking experience characterized by earthy and spicy notes, including cumin, cardamom, ground clove, and allspice. A subtle cedar undertone provides balance and structure to the complex flavor profile.
