A 2014 "Cigar of the Year" with a 96-point rating, the Oliva Serie V Melanio Gran Reserva Figurado continues to be the best of Nicaraguan craftsmanship in 2026. Known for its tapered head and foot, this box-pressed figurado is intended to concentrate tastes and offer a nuanced, changing experience.
In particular, the "flavour progression" is improved by the Figurado shape as the ring gauge increases and contracts.
The first third begins with strong hints of roasted coffee and leather. From the first draw, there are delicate layers of toasted wood and caramel.
Second Third: A deeper core of espresso and dark chocolate takes over the profile. With a hint of pepper spice, the sweetness of the Jalapa tobacco becomes more noticeable.
Final Third: A long, fluid finish follows as the intensity increases. Leather and coffee aromas linger on the palate, but deep cedar and earthy soil notes predominate.
