The Oliva family of cigars may be one of the most popular brands of premium cigars in the US, but the blend that established them as a truly exceptional cigar maker is the Oliva Serie V. Before it was released, the company had been hurtling toward critical mass with consistently good ratings in the industry’s premier cigar publications. But their cigars had not been seen as truly premium. Oliva desperately wanted to show the world that they had the tobacco and the talent to compete with the world’s best premium manufacturers. Oliva Serie V was so much better than anything they had released previously, it dropped a lot of jaws. There is no doubt that the Oliva Serie V is the brand that changed people’s perception of what the company was capable of producing.
The Oliva Serie V is one of Oliva’s most popular cigars, and it has earned that title for good reason. It’s an exceptional blend of tobacco that is both flavorful and approachable. Oliva Serie V use a blend of specially fermented and aged Jalapa Valey ligero for the filler and binder. A High priming Habano Sun Grown wrapper from Ecuador was selected to complete the blend. The result is nothing short of exceptional. Tasting notes include complex flavors of coffee, earth, and chocolate with hints of earth and pepper. Oliva Serie V is the kind of cigar you find yourself coming back for over and over again.
