Story & Accolades

The Melanio line honors Melanio Oliva, the family patriarch who began cultivating tobacco in Cuba in the 1800s. The Maduro variant elevates the original Serie V Melanio blend by adding a Mexican San Andrés Maduro wrapper over the matured Nicaraguan core, creating deeper flavor and complexity. This size maintains the high pedigree of the line and carries strong ratings in the premium cigar world.

Pairing Suggestions

Beer: Imperial stout or robust porter to complement the cigar’s dense cocoa and espresso palette.
Wine: A bold aged Rioja Reserva or full-bodied Malbec to match its richness.
Spirits: A high-proof bourbon or dark aged rum to enhance the caramel, nut and wood dimensions.
