I discovered the Oliva brand only last year. Today, Oliva Serie V cigars are in my smoking repertoire and definitely in my top 10. The greatest of them is the Oliva Serie V Melanio Figurado, which was Cigar Aficionado’s cigar of the year of 2014.

On the other hand, the Oliva Serie V Maduro Double Toro that you see in the image has lately become one of my go-to Oliva cigars. I love it because it’s big, full-bodied, and comes with notes of cocoa, dark roast coffee, and oak. It goes extremely well with whatever I pair it with, including Islay whiskies that I love so much.
