Voted #1 Cigar Aficionado's Top 25 cigars of 2014!
Named for the founding father of Oliva Cigars, the box-pressed 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.
No wonder why this cigar is rated 96 - it is a pleasure to smoke from beginning to end

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.
