Oliva Serie V Belicoso

A decade after its initial release, Oliva Cigar Co.'s Serie V remains a benchmark for full-bodied cigars, boasting an uncompromising strength while showcasing a multifaceted richness and intricacy. The passage of time has not diminished its excellence, a testament to the company's commitment to quality. Notably, Oliva's acquisition by J. Cortés Cigars N.V. in 2016 could have potentially impacted the brand's consistency, but the retention of José Oliva as president ensured a seamless transition. The Serie V's blend is anchored by potent ligero tobacco sourced from Nicaragua's Jalapa Valley, complemented by a wrapper featuring high-priming characteristics. The resulting flavor profile is characterized by robust notes of earth, leather, and spice, harmoniously balanced by a subtle sweetness reminiscent of molasses. This masterful balance is all the more impressive given the cigar's affordable price point, making it a standout in its class. The overall smoking experience is a rich and complex one, with the Serie V consistently delivering high volumes of flavor that justify its reputation as a premium product.
