Oliva Serie O Robusto
The Serie O is the everyday Oliva, and that’s meant as a compliment. A Nicaraguan puro: a Habano Sun Grown wrapper from Jalapa, with a binder and filler from Nicaragua, all rolled in Estelí.
Cedar sets the tone, quickly followed by a rich, full-bodied black coffee. In the second third, earthy notes emerge, with a subtle hint of pepper that livens up the finish. Dense smoke, even burn: a straightforward cigar that doesn’t cut any corners.
Tasting menu
Pairing

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.
