OLIVA SERIE V MELANIO MADURO FIGURADO 6.5X54 (10)
OLIVAStorage Instructions
For OLIVA serie v melanio maduro figurado 6.5×54 store these full bodied Nicaraguan cigars in a well maintained humidor to preserve flavor and construction. Aim for a steady relative humidity of 65 to 68% and a temperature of 68 to 70ºF (20 to 21ºC). Keep the humidor out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources and air vents. Because maduro wrappers are darker and often oilier they respond best to the slightly lower end of the standard humidity range. Use distilled water or a 50 50 propylene glycol solution when seasoning or topping off your humidification device and monitor conditions with a calibrated digital hygrometer. Avoid temperatures above 75ºF (24ºC) to reduce the risk of tobacco beetle activity. Store cigars on their side or in their original boxes if space allows and do not pack them so tightly that air cannot circulate.
Care Tips
Handle OLIVA serie v melanio maduro figurado 6.5×54 with clean hands and gentle motions to protect the delicate maduro wrapper. Pick up by the band or the midsection when necessary and avoid squeezing or rolling the cigar between fingers. Cut with a sharp guillotine or a high quality cutter and toast the foot evenly before taking the first draw to prevent wrapper damage. If the cigars have been shipped or moved recently give them 2 to 4 weeks in your humidor to acclimate. For cigars bought locally a minimum rest of 7 to 14 days will improve balance and burn. These cigars respond well to short to medium term aging. Expect noticeable gains in harmony and complexity after 6 to 12 months and continued development over 1 to 3 years if you prefer a smoother profile. Check periodically for bloom which appears as a fine white crystalline dust and is harmless and desirable. If you see fuzzy or colored growth investigate and adjust humidity immediately. Rotate stock every few months to ensure even conditioning and enjoy each smoke at its best.

History and Heritage
Oliva is a family owned brand with roots in Cuba and a long established presence in Nicaragua. The Melanio name honors a member of the Oliva family and reflects the house focus on premium tobaccos and careful blending. The Serie V Melanio maduro is built from Oliva selected Nicaraguan fillers and a dark Maduro wrapper, rolled at the family’s factory in Estelí. The figurado shape adds a tapered profile that concentrates flavors and delivers a refined, layered smoking experience for enthusiasts who appreciate structure and complexity.
Tasting Notes
The OLIVA serie V melanio maduro figurado 6.5×54 is a commanding, full-bodied maduro that unveils layers of concentrated flavor from the first draw. Expect rich dark cocoa and espresso at the forefront, melded with roasted almonds, leather and a backbone of black pepper spice; a subtle molasses sweetness and toasted cedar round out the mid‑palate. Aromas are deeply inviting—notes of baked spice, humid earth and faint dried fruit lift from the foot and complement the dense, oily smoke. The finish is long and refined, leaving lingering coffee and bittersweet chocolate with a warm, peppery echo.
Pairing Suggestions
Aged dark rum — its caramel and molasses character mirrors the maduro’s sweetness and amplifies the cigar’s spice for a lush, harmonious pairing. Espresso (ristretto) — the concentrated coffee cuts through the cigar’s richness and highlights its espresso and cocoa notes while cleansing the palate between puffs. 70–85% dark chocolate — a small square enhances the cigar’s chocolate and nut nuances, creating a luxurious interplay of bitter, sweet and roasted flavors.
