Nicaragua's Top-Selling Super-Premium... '95' rated!

The award-winning Oliva Serie 'V' keeps getting better... When Oliva Serie 'V' hit the market, it was near impossible to pick up a box. The '94' rated gem had enthusiasts going crazy for close to year. As Nicaraguan cigars have become more and more popular, Oliva has been leading the pack, putting out a wide variety of premium cigars. Having fled Castro after the Cuban Revolution the Olivas have grown tobacco all over the world which has lent to their huge success in Nicaragua. Today they are among the largest growers of tobacco in Central America.

Oliva Serie 'V' Melanio has been impressing enthusiasts across the country since its inception. To be forever compared to its predecessor -- the original, '95' rated Serie ‘V' -- isn't fair for any release, but Melanio handles the pressure in more than impressive fashion. Featuring top-notch Nicaraguan long-fillers graced by gorgeous, Sumatra-seed wrappers grown in Ecuador, everything these box-pressed beauty beget is all elegance and luxury; mouth-watering at 1st sight before your torch even has a chance to light! Each super-premium produces a flavor profile packed with smooth nuances of cold brew coffee, sweet cedar, ginger snap, and a slight, citrusy zest on the finish. Oliva Serie 'V' Melanio is a must-try for every enthusiast!

Ranked #8 on Cigar Aficionado's top 25 cigars of 2020!

Draw is excellent lots of flavor. I have ordered this cigar several times and it has never disappointed me

Great

Over-all exactly what I expected.

by Brett F. on Mar 23, 2023

Everything you expect from a Series V Melanio with the extended burn time that comes from a Churchill. Only note/qualm is that the first one out of the box cracked its binder a little when I used my punch on it. But this can happen with any stick from time to time. Still worth the time spent watching for it on the Sprint Sale.

I've smoked one so far and it was on par with the smaller "V's" I've smoked. They are a reliably good, medium body cigar. Always enjoyable.

I enjoyed the smoothness of this cigar along with the even burn.

Amazing cigar. Right now it’s

by Christopher N. on Mar 14, 2023

Amazing cigar. Right now it’s my favorite cigars! Great flavor profile. Medium to medium bold. The construction has been flawless the burn and draw has been prefect. Very consistent. I’m on my third box and haven’t had a bad one yet. There also a great value as I find them comparable in quality and flavor to cigars I’ve paid twice as much for.

OLIVA V MELANIO

by Wayne C. on May 20, 2018

Exceptional quality. Outstanding smoothness and taste. I've never had a " better" stick!

A must have..

by Jacob O. on May 04, 2018

Excellent smoke, my go to for a quick but perfect stick.

A trusted companion --- who never disappoints!

by Bruce M. on Feb 12, 2018

I'm always surprised when this cigar is described as a Nicaraguan as it has such a light draw and smooth flavor. I'd almost describe the flavor as Dominican --- but I'd be wrong. The several boxes of the Oliva Melanio Serie V I've smoked I don't think I've ever has to relight one. It smokes that evenly. They've always had a fine even draw --- giving the feeling that they have airy sort of draw. I wouldn't describe this stick as having the punch and dense wrapping of a Padron until you get near to the end of the smoke. The bottom third of any cigar is what I call the "business end". That is where you really feel the kick of the collected flavors. I can't complain with this cigar. It is the one cigar I'll reach for as a trusted and flavorful companion who doesn't disappoint.

Outstanding cigar

by Mark B. on Jan 10, 2018

The best cigar on the market. Great, full flavor with no bite. I'm never without them in my humidor. Extremely consistent. Never had a bad one. I almost hate to give it a rave review because I don't want them to be in short supply.

Can’t get enough

by Jacob S. on Dec 27, 2017

I’ve been a huge fan of Oliva “O” and “G” since trying them. However, these and the Master III blends are my absolute favorites. I hope there is never a shortage! I’m convinced that whatever Oliva touches must turn to gold...

Very smooth for a full flavored cigar

by Vickie S. on Feb 14, 2017

Excellent cigar! I tried Melanio Robusto and Figurado, and I did not know their history or their rating over the last couple of years before smoking it, and it became my new favorite cigar! I generally have enjoyed mild cigars, (so I don't feel like I'm still enjoying it 2 days later) but these are a much more full flavored cigar, yet very mild to the palate. Everyone I share these with become hooked! Cigar.com is competitively priced and quick to ship!

Quality and smooth

by James C. on Nov 08, 2016

The series V was a good blend of smooth with quality taste. I enjoyed this cigar while just sitting and enjoying time slip by undisturbed.

V Melanio

by John B. on Nov 03, 2016

Construction, draw, burn mean little unless the taste also is excellent. This is, in my opinion, the best of the Olivia brand. It will remain in my humidor.

Oliva Serie 'V' Melanio Double Toro is the Bomb!

by JD S. on Oct 31, 2016

Hands down; one of the best smokes money can buy. Pure joy!

Worth all the praise!

by Brian N. on Oct 06, 2016

I discovered this great cigar in New Orleans of all places and was blown away by the overall quality, taste and smoke. One of my favorites and ordered of box of 10 for the humidor.

For the $$$

by Lamar M. on Sep 27, 2016

In my opinion, the Best cigar on the market for the money!

tasty

by richard b. on Aug 16, 2016

Nice even smoke. Mellow and easy, subtle earth, mocha, spicey.

Smooth cigar

by DAVID N. on Jul 23, 2016

Excellent cigar smooth flavor with a great burn. It has a small taste of sweetness which complements the taste amd aroma of the cigar one of my best cigars to have.

Another Great 'V' Melanio

by William K. on May 26, 2016

The Oliva V Melanio Robusto joins the Churchill and Figurado as a great smoke for me. Reliably excellent draw, full rich flavor without excessive strength.

Now I understand why it rated so high with Cigar Aficionado!

by Che-Chuen H. on May 11, 2016

Wow, I loved it from the first draw! Good smooth tobacco with flavors of caramel and espresso, maybe a bit of dark chocolate and baking spices.

Oliva Serie 'V' Melanio Churchill

by Richard M. on Mar 31, 2016

Excellent Cigar!

Nothing Special

by Keith A. on Mar 28, 2016

I'm just not getting the return from this cigar I expected based on name and feedback from others. Not getting much flavor or complexity in this cigar. Gonna let the rest of them sit for awhile and see if anything changes!

WOW ... go away.

by Vince D. on Mar 22, 2016

Ummm ... stay away and leave the remainder for me. Seriously a decidedly GREAT cigar and addition to any "vault" humidor. An extraordinary cigar at it's price point. Invest, age and enjoy a well blended/constructed and veritable smoke.

Didn't live up to expectation!

by Keith A. on Mar 09, 2016

Was disappointed with the petit coronas, no real flavor profile and pretty uninspiring smoke. I also bought the figuarado so I'm looking forward to a much improved experience.

SMOOTH BUT NOT FULL. MEDIUM AT BEST

by MICHAEL B. on Feb 25, 2016

Good smoke but definitely NOT a full body. Excellent draw, smooth smoke but mild-medium at best. I gave it a 4 star rating because of the draw and smoothness but if your looking for a full body, you will be sadly disappointed.

Favorite little cigars

by Ryan H. on Jan 25, 2016

I did a repeat order on these. The petit corona is a better smoke than even the figurado I think.
