Storage Instructions
For the OLIVA SERIE V DOBLE ROBUSTO 5 X 54 (24), maintain a stable humidor environment to preserve its full bodied Nicaraguan puro character and oily Habano-style wrapper. Aim for a relative humidity between 65% and 70% and a temperature between 65ºF and 70ºF (18ºC to 21ºC). Use a well seasoned humidor lined with Spanish cedar and a reliable, calibrated hygrometer to monitor conditions. Keep cigars arranged with a little space for air circulation and avoid direct contact with humidification devices. For short term resting prior to smoking, 2 to 4 weeks in the humidor will allow acclimation. For long term aging, a slightly lower range of 62% to 65% RH can help develop complexity without encouraging mold growth.
Care Tips
Handle OLIVA SERIE V DOBLE ROBUSTO 5 X 54 (24) gently to protect the wrapper. Pick up the cigar with two fingers near the band or mid body and avoid pinching the cap. Leave the band on until you are ready to light if you prefer, or remove it carefully just before cutting. Use a sharp guillotine, a precise V cutter, or a punch that suits the ring gauge to ensure a clean cut and an even draw. When lighting, toast the foot slowly to achieve an even burn and take steady, measured draws to bring out the cigar’s layered flavors. If you plan to age these cigars, expect noticeable smoothing and added complexity after six months, with further refinement over one to three years depending on personal taste. Always store away from strong odors and protect from temperature swings and direct sunlight. For travel, use a travel humidor or an airtight case with a small humidification element to maintain moisture during transit.

History and Heritage
Oliva is a family founded brand with deep roots in tobacco cultivation and cigar making in Nicaragua. The Serie V was developed to showcase robust Nicaraguan long fillers and a concentrated ligero core that deliver intensity and layered flavor. The Doble Robusto 5 x 54 format offers a broad ring gauge that lets the blend open gradually and reveal more nuances over the smoke. Oliva cigars are hand rolled in their Nicaraguan facilities by experienced artisans using aged tobaccos, and the Serie V has earned a reputation for dependable construction and powerful yet refined flavor profiles that appeal to experienced smokers.
Tasting Notes
The OLIVA SERIE V DOBLE ROBUSTO 5 X 54 (24) delivers a full-bodied, authoritative smoke with immediate layers of dark chocolate and espresso balanced by warm baking spice and a backbone of cedar. Midpalate notes of roasted nuts, leather and molasses evolve into a velvety cocoa and espresso crema finish, while a black-pepper bite surfaces on the retrohale to remind you of its Nicaraguan strength. Aromas of toasted oak, damp earth and sweet tobacco leaf announce the cigar before the first draw, and the dense, creamy smoke develops a long, satisfying finish that aficionados expect from the Serie V line.
Pairing Suggestions
1) Añejo rum, its rich caramel, vanilla and dried-fruit tones harmonize with the cigar’s molasses and dark chocolate, rounding out the spice while accentuating the sweet oak. 2) Double espresso, concentrated coffee cuts through the full body and highlights the espresso and cocoa notes, sharpening the cigar’s bitter-sweet complexity. 3) 12‑year single‑malt Scotch or a small pour of aged bourbon, the whisky’s toasted oak, toffee and spice complements the cedar and leather, elevating the cigar’s long, layered finish.
