Oliva Serie V Melanio will be available next month in a 5 x 54 Double Robusto, a size created exclusively for Casa de Montecristo’s retail stores and lounges in collaboration with Oliva Cigar Co.
The Oliva Serie V Melanio Casa de Montecristo Exclusive ($11.75) will be offered in 10-count boxes and will be available for purchase starting February 2. It is produced at Tabacalera Oliva de Nicaragua S.A. using ligero fillers from Nicaragua.
Oliva’s Serie V Melanio line, which includes the Maduro, Cigar Snob’s Cigar of the Year in 2022, consisted solely of box-pressed cigars until 2017, when the brand began producing a limited production of the Serie V Melanio in round versions. The limited production cigars are made once a year in limited quantities.
“We are continuously looking for quality premium products that can be found nowhere else, to offer Casa de Montecristo’s adult clientele,” Brad Winstead, CEO of Casa de Montecristo, said in a press release. “We are thrilled to have this opportunity to partner with Oliva and offer our guests an exclusive size from Oliva’s most prestigious line.”
