The Oliva Serie V Melanio Gran Reserva Maduro Robusto earned 94 points from Cigar Aficionado. It also ranked No. 18 in the Top 25 Cigars of 2025. This box-pressed cigar measures 5 inches by a 52 ring gauge. Its strength sits at full, with a rich feel. Plan for about 50 minutes. So, it suits calm nights and after-dinner breaks.

First, a dark Mexican Maduro leaf wraps the cigar. Oliva grows the core leaf in Jalapa, Nicaragua. The same leaf forms the binder and filler. As a result, the blend joins soft sweet notes with warm spice. Also, the neat box press feels firm in the hand. Each leaf works well with the next. So, the draw stays rich, smooth, and clear.

At first, cream and a soft sweet note lead the way. Soon, earth and coffee bean start to rise. Then, warm spice gives the taste more lift. A dark fruit note may show near the end. Also, the wide ring keeps each draw cool and full. Still, the cigar stays easy to follow. Finally, black cherry shapes the smooth finish.

Overall, this Oliva Serie V Melanio Gran Reserva Robusto gives Maduro fans bold taste without rough heat. Its short shape packs deep flavour into less time. Also, the aged leaf keeps the pace calm and even. Choose this award-winning cigar for sweet depth and warm spice. Then, add one to your humidor and enjoy a fine Oliva smoke.
