Oliva Serie G Double Robusto
The Serie G is the range that has brought Oliva to the attention of the widest audience. Its hallmark: a fine, aromatic Cameroonian wrapper, over a Nicaraguan binder and filler. The Double Robusto retains all this smoothness, with a 54 ring gauge that lends body to the smoke.
A few sharp notes on lighting, then everything settles down: cedar, coffee and a creamy texture take over. Mild spices add a touch of zest to the final third, without ever being overpowering. A well-balanced cigar, ideal for stepping it up a notch after lighter cigars.

About Oliva
The name Oliva originates from Melanio Oliva, the grandfather of Gilberto Oliva, who is now regarded as the head of this illustrious family. Melanio began growing tobacco in Cuba as early as 1886, a tradition that was devotedly continued by his son Hipolito for many years. Later, Gilberto Senior, father of the current generation and a respected figure in the world of tobacco fairs in the United States, faced the challenge of finding land as fertile as that of Cuba following the family’s exile. After exploring regions such as Panama, the Philippines, Honduras and Mexico, he finally discovered in Nicaragua an exceptional terroir, perfectly suited to his requirements. The cigars produced there reveal deep, earthy flavours, offering a complexity that captivates connoisseurs and leaves an irresistible desire to savour more.
