About the Serie V Melanio line
Oliva's Serie V Melanio is the crown of the Oliva range, named after family patriarch Melanio Oliva. It uses an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper over aged Nicaraguan tobacco and is made at the family factory in Estelí.
Smooth, complex and medium-full, it delivers notes of espresso, cedar, nuts and sweet spice, and helped cement Oliva's reputation as one of Nicaragua's finest value-to-quality houses.
