First, a dark Mexican San Andrés Maduro leaf wraps the binder. Nicaraguan tobacco forms both the binder and filler. Oliva grows much of this core leaf in the Jalapa area. As a result, the blend joins soft sweet notes with warm spice and deep earth. Also, the firm box press feels neat in the hand. Meanwhile, the pointed head lets you shape the cut and draw.

At first, expect maple, hickory, sea salt, and dried fruit. Soon, warm earth and soft spice start to rise. Then, shaved coconut adds a smooth and sweet touch. The tapered head helps focus the smoke on the tongue. Still, the blend stays calm and easy to follow. Finally, the finish brings sweet wood, dark fruit, and a light salty note.

Overall, this Oliva Serie V Melanio Gran Reserva Torpedo delivers a rich Maduro flavour without harsh heat. Its long shape lets each note grow at a slow pace. Moreover, the medium strength offers depth without too much force. Choose this award-winning cigar for sweet wood, fine spice, and a smooth finish. Add one to your humidor for your next quiet night.
