Story & Accolades

This vitola is part of the Maduro variant of the acclaimed Serie V Melanio line, created to honor Melanio Oliva, the family patriarch who pioneered tobacco cultivation in Cuba in the 1800s. The Maduro version swaps the original wrapper for a Mexican San Andrés Maduro leaf, elevating richness and complexity. The Figurado size is a limited-production format, highly sought after by collectors and aficionados.
