Voted #1 Cigar Aficionado's Top 25 cigars of 2014!
Named for the founding father of Oliva Cigars, the Oliva Serie V Melanio is composed of aged Nicaraguan ligero tobaccos beneath a slick Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper. The result is a well-balanced, full-bodied smoke with rich, nutty, and creamy character, along with the excellent craftsmanship we've come to expect from the Oliva cigar family. The excellent Oliva Serie V Melanio Figurado exudes strong and savory character in a perfectly crafted, box-pressed 6 1/2 x 52 Figurado vitola.

These are my weekend warriors. Love the shape, the burn, and the flavor. Keep doing what you're doing, Oliva.

No wonder why this cigar is rated 96 - it is a pleasure to smoke from beginning to end

very good consistent smoke
By Victor on Feb 24, 2020
I continue to be amazed how good this cigar tastes. The pre smoke of the fresh tobacco aroma enhances the flavor I get when smoking my OV Melanio. I even get complements on good it smells when I smoke it in public. I give them as gifts to close friends and each time its the same result. That was great cigar where can I get more. This my smoke with my family and friends. The cigar looks classy and super well constructed. For the price I can't go wrong, great cigar. "High V to O Melanio"!

Moving up quickly on my list of favorites
By Richard on Oct 10, 2019
I've been smoking the Serie V Melanio for 10-12 years. I'd have to say, excluding much higher priced cigars, these are my very favorites. Always well constructed, never had a 'bad' burn, great smoke all the way through. And, the Figurado is always a nice reward. You can't go wrong with these!
By Andy on Sep 12, 2019
Wonderfully packaged, always properly humidified, exquisite taste right out of the box!
By Patrick on Jun 13, 2019
Deeeeelicious !!!!
By peter on Jun 11, 2019
This is my my favorite, mild cigar , such a great smoke
By Sean on Apr 23, 2019
I have a certain brand and type of cigar that I enjoy on the golf course, and Best Cigars always has the best price and quality of my cigars. I would definitely suggest that you try Best Cigars at least once, and then you will be a customer for life.

This cigar never disappoints! The Oliva Melanio is my favorite cigar. I always keep this smoke in my humidor. when I get below 10, I consider that as an out of stock and immediately place another order. Easy to see why this cigar was the #1 rated cigars a few years ago! Buy this stick!!!
By Randy on Dec 15, 2018
really a very good cigar
By Isaac on Dec 11, 2018
I’ve had the pleasure of smoking these for awhile now. I must say hands down top 3 cigars I ever had. You will not be disappointed.
By Michael on Oct 20, 2018
One of my favorites, boxed pressed, lights and burns even, easy draw, notes of leather, Coffee and caramel. Great tasting quality smoke!

Excellent cigar appreciated the price and fast delivery
By Larry on May 22, 2018
I once only smoked Cuban cigars, but got tired of the issue of ordering them and then worrying about receiving them legally here in the US. Then my best friend introduced me to the Oliva Serie’s V Melanio cigars. I feel in love with them and now only smoke the Figuarados. They are smooth, flavorful, and the best. Don’t go to Cuba, just stay here in the States and enjoy these beauties without worry.
By Alan on Apr 19, 2018
This one is my favorite
By Humberto on Mar 20, 2018
The Oliva is smooth and smokes well.
By Mark on Mar 15, 2018
Overall, very good. But not as flavorful as the Serie V Figurado

Smooth smoke, even draw, pairs well with Jack Daniels!
By Derek on Nov 17, 2017
Great smoke with my favorite bourbon, Angels Envy
By Nicholas on Oct 24, 2017
Good product
By Bob on Oct 21, 2017
These are always a pleasure to smoke. Excellent flavors and construction usually. For some reason the last couple boxes of melanios I’ve purchased have been lacking. They had weird coloring and imperfections in the wrapper and muted flavors and aroma. Even after a couple months of rest in my humidor. I’ve never had a problem with them until recently, so maybe just a bad batch.
By Justin on Oct 17, 2017
I normally prefer mild, and this is more in the middle. I'm a fan of the torpedo cut
By Larry on Sep 28, 2017
By Sam on Sep 22, 2017
These are great I save these for special occasions perfect draw and burn and good flavor.
By John on Sep 5, 2017
Love this cigar! One of my top cigars! Always keep them in my humidor...
By Scott on Aug 29, 2017
There are tons of cigars out there and after some extensive research, I treated myself to this one. That was a few years ago and I'm still treating myself. This box is accompingon my vacation.

the title says it all I'm in love with these cigars
By Allen on Apr 11, 2017
I wanted to try this stick because my buddy told me it was so "sweet", it was the only cigar his wife didn't mind the smell of.
This cigar did not disappoint. It is very smooth, creamy, and "cocoa-y" - not much pepper, but full and bold at the same time. My only problem with it is the fact that it's a box press. I guess you either love or hate a box pressed cigar, and I lean towards the latter. If you like box press, or don't mind it, I highly recommend this one because of the flavor, construction, and overall quality.

Can't go wrong with a number one rated cigar.
By Anthony on Nov 5, 2015
I bought these cigars for my brother-in-law. These are his favorite smokes. I bought these based on there ratings and I wanted the best for him.
By Al on Nov 2, 2015
Oliva serie v melanio figurado is my favorite smoke. It is very creamy and leathery. These cigars are great anytime of the day and are very enjoyable. I have a few boxes on hand because these are my go to cigars knowing its a great smoke every time.
By randy on Oct 31, 2015
Very well made Figurado from Oliva.Not my favorite blend. THe taste is somewhat monolithic, rather than complex
By John on Sep 22, 2015
This cigar is excellent. Good draw, smooth and nice flavor. Order some if you can...most of the time it's out of stock.
By Randall on Sep 5, 2015
Great smoke- buttery, smooth, nutty, rich and complex flavor with a sweet finish and an even burn. Doesn't get an over-leathery nor bitter transition towards the last 1/3-- stays pretty consistent-- good stick-- grab a box because you'll want more, it's a better deal and this is th best Prichard out there with free shipping!! I thoroughly enjoy this one! Although, one stick had a pretty tight draw and it didn't seem to loosen up much until after about the first 1/3. Probably a fluke.
By Joseph on Sep 3, 2015
Excellent
By Stephen on Sep 3, 2015
Smooth with full bodied taste...no after taste...good burn...pure enjoyment
By Tracy on May 12, 2015
Above average.
By Robert on Apr 2, 2015
I have my usual favorite smokes and never tried Oliva in the past. A friend of mine handed me an Oliva V and was quite impressed with the flavor and construction. I just ordered my first box and can't wait to light one up, you won't be disappointed!
By Joseph on Sep 4, 2014
Thank you for your questions. To answer your first question, here are a few cigars that are similar to the Oliva Serie V Melanio Figuardo's: Tatuaje Cojonu 2012 Sumatra, Liga Privada T52 Toro, and Espada Guard by Montecristo. To answer your second question, the tobacco in the Melanio Figuardo's is the same no matter what size you choose. The sizes really just come down to personal preference in what you like to smoke. I hope that this has satisfactorily answered your question. Please feel free to reach out to us if you are in need of any additional assistance.
