Oliva
Award-winning Nicaraguan blends with deep family roots.
Founded 1995 · The Oliva family (Cuban origins, four generations of growers)
Oliva in Brief.
The Oliva family has grown tobacco in Cuba and Nicaragua for four generations. The brand we know today launched in 1995, and Serie V Melanio won Cigar Aficionado's 2014 Cigar of the Year — the kind of recognition that put modern Nicaraguan boutique craft in the spotlight. Now part of J. Cortès, but production and blend integrity remain rooted in Estelí.
Style: Medium to full body, Nicaraguan craft.
