The Oliva name derives from Melanio Oliva, the grandfather of Gilberto Oliva, now considered the leader of this illustrious family. Melanio began growing tobacco in Cuba as early as 1886, a tradition 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 in Cuba after the family exile. After exploring regions such as Panama, the Philippines, Honduras and Mexico, he finally discovered an exceptional terroir in Nicaragua, perfectly suited to his requirements. The cigars produced here reveal deep, earthy flavours, offering a complexity that captivates connoisseurs and leaves an irresistible desire to savour more.
