Oliva Cigars Serie V Melanio Maduro

Oliva Serie V Melanio Maduro Churchill

Cigar Aficionado · Oct 1, 2023

A sweet, chocolate-and-vanilla quality plays off the woody core of this dark, box-pressed Churchill before showing a finish that smacks of Earl Gray tea steeped in mint.

Oliva Serie V Melanio Maduro

Cigar Snob · Jan 7, 2022

In the years since we’ve been releasing a Top 25 list, the Oliva Serie V Melanio has been on a constant upward trend in popularity and growth. This type of climb in sales doesn’t always result in consistent quality. In other words, many brands that experience this type of growth lose quality over time and it’s understandable. More sales means more cigars have to be made and more cigars means more tobacco has to be grown and processed. It’s often a recipe for an inverse relationship between sale

Oliva Serie V Melanio Maduro

Holt's Staff Reviews · Mar 17, 2022

I’m already a big fan of San Andrés wrappers, so smoking an Oliva Serie V Melanio Maduro for a staff review is hardly a chore. And I’m smoking one of my favorite shapes: a 7 by 50 Churchill. The best Chuchill cigars burn for just over an hour. The flavor builds at a gradual pace and starts off milder than a shorter size because the heat is further from your palate when you first light up. In 2014, Cigar Aficionado crowned the original Oliva Serie V Melanio its ‘#1 Cigar of the Year’ with a 96-point rating. Oliva Serie V Melanio is finished in a shimmering Ecuador Sumatra wrapper.

Oliva Serie V Melanio Maduro Lancero

Halfwheel · Sep 25, 2022 · July 2022

Having been around since 2013, I feel like the Oliva Serie V Melanio Maduro—along with the regular Melanio blend—is one of those blends that people just kind of forget about while chasing new releases. Interestingly, this lancero—more specifically, the second third—does not taste like any of the other Melanio Maduro cigars I have smoked in the past: while the first third starts with familiar flavors of cocoa nibs and earth, the second third is quite different, with a distinct anise note taking over the top spot. In addition, there is a wonderful caramel sweetness and black pepper combination on the retrohale that does a good job adding complexity to the overall profile. Throw in the extremely good construction—seriously, I only had to touch up the burn twice in the three cigars I smoked—and you are left with one of the better vitolas I have smoked in a line that is no stranger to good cigars.

Oliva Serie V Melanio Maduro At the 2013 IPCPR Trade Show, Oliva Cigar Company had one cigar that was being spotlighted – the Oliva Serie V Melanio Maduro.  Oliva is one of those companies that never has felt pressure to put out a lot of new releases at the trade show.  2013 was no exception […]

OLIVA SERIE V MELANIO MADURO

Comedy Cigars Music · Jul 14, 2022

Melanio has a nice beginning. Wood, earth, sweetness, nougat, and gentle spice flow through smoothly from an effortless draw. Earth seems much more dominant on the retrohale, which also finds some mild coffee and very subtle nougat.The finish opts for nougat, fruit, spice, and sweetened leather. Not sure why anyone needs a sweetened belt or wal

Oliva Serie V Melanio Maduro Figurado 2020

Developing Palates · Mar 3, 2021 · November 2020

Overall, the Oliva Serie V Melanio Maduro Figurado 2020 is a good cigar. It is a nice Oliva and a solid Mexican San Andres offering. I don't think I would go crazy over the release, and I know Oliva has released better annual offerings, but a good cigar. Nice balance and flavors throughout.
