Oliva Serie V Melanio Edición Año 2022 Cigar – Single

The Oliva Serie V Melanio Edición Año 2022 is a limited-edition 6 1/2 x 44 lonsdale, released exclusively for non-American markets. Unlike the box-pressed standard Melanio, this variant features a round shape. It retains the core blend of an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper, Nicaraguan binder, and Nicaraguan fillers, introduced in 2017 as part of Oliva’s annual limited series.

The cigar’s construction combines a Sumatra-seed Ecuadorian Habano wrapper with aged Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos. The round format distinguishes it from the traditional box-pressed Melanio line, while the blend emphasizes aged leaves to refine the smoking experience.

Initial notes present pepper, cedar, and earth, transitioning to mid-smoke flavors of dark chocolate, espresso, and roasted nuts. The final third introduces cinnamon, leather, and subtle sweetness, complemented by baking spices and vanilla on the retrohale.

Consistent combustion and draw characterize the Oliva Serie V Melanio Edición Año 2022, with a medium to full-bodied profile. The cigar’s 44-ring gauge and 6.5-inch length provide approximately 90 minutes of smoking time, prioritizing balance over intensity.
