Storage Instructions
For the Oliva Serie V Maduro Especial Doble Robusto 5×54 (10) keep these robust, dark wrappers in a well maintained humidor. Aim for a relative humidity of 65 to 68% and a temperature in the 65 to 70ºF range, or 18 to 21ºC. The Maduro wrapper is darker and slightly oilier than lighter wrappers so avoid over humidifying the humidor. Humidity above about 72% can mute flavors and promote wrapper bloom. Use a seasoned humidor with Spanish cedar or a quality humidor liner and check levels with a reliable digital hygrometer. Store away from direct sunlight and avoid rapid temperature swings. If you travel with these cigars use a sealed travel humidor or a humidity pack set to 65% for short term protection. Rotate stocks occasionally so the cigars receive consistent humidity and temperature.
Care Tips
Handle the Oliva Serie V Maduro Especial Doble Robusto 5×54 (10) gently to preserve the oily Maduro wrapper. Hold by the body or the band and avoid squeezing or rolling the cigar between your fingers. If your cigars arrive in cellophane leave it on while they acclimate and while transporting them. You can remove the cellophane once the cigars have rested in your humidor for a week or two to allow even conditioning. For best enjoyment let new purchases rest in your humidor for at least two to four weeks before smoking. For those who like to age, this blend responds well to short to medium term aging. Six to twelve months will smooth and integrate the bold notes while one to two years will develop added complexity without losing the core character. When you are ready to smoke, use a clean straight guillotine or a V cutter to make a neat cut that preserves the cap and prevents tearing. Light with a butane torch or long cedar spill for an even burn. With reasonable care this Doble Robusto will reward both immediate enjoyment and moderate aging in your collection.

Tasting Notes
The Oliva Serie V Maduro Especial Doble Robusto 5×54 (10) presents a commanding, full-bodied profile that immediately announces itself with dense, velvety smoke. Layers of bittersweet dark chocolate and freshly pulled espresso sit at the forefront, balanced by a backbone of smoky leather and cedar. Mid-palate nuances of toasted almond, sweet molasses and warm baking spices evolve into a steady black-pepper bite that lifts the blend without overpowering it. Aromas of cocoa, caramelized sugar and soft tobacco ash linger on the nose, delivering a long, luxurious finish.
Pairing Suggestions
Aged Caribbean or Venezuelan rum, the rum’s deep caramel, vanilla and oak notes mirror the cigar’s molasses and chocolate tones while cutting through its full-bodied richness. Single-origin espresso, intense, concentrated coffee amplifies the cigar’s espresso and dark-chocolate elements and refreshes the palate between puffs. 70–85% dark chocolate, the chocolate’s controlled bitterness and cocoa intensity echo the cigar’s bittersweet core and enhance the velvety finish.
