This week at the InterTabac Trade Fair in Dortmund, Germany, Oliva came prepared with the new Serie V Melanio Limited 2025. The 2025 Serie V Melanio Limitada Robusto Extra measures 5 x 54 and fulfills expectations by paying homage to the tobacco leaf, as it transforms from seed to cigar – according to Oliva. It uses Ecuador-grown Sumatra-seed wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler. The 2025 Serie V Melanio Limitada Robusto Extra I manufactured at Oliva’s factory in Esteli, Nicaragua.
In a press release, the company says; “behind every Oliva cigar is an entire community, united by its passion for crafting the perfect cigar and the common cause to carry our proud heritage forward. What most cannot see is the “magical” transformation that happens from tiny tobacco seed to rich leaf, and ultimately to exquisite cigar. This timeless story is at the root of what unites us.”
“Oliva’s raison d’être revolves wholeheartedly around preserving and perfecting something pure, something that cannot be fabricated or rushed. Something that lies buried deep within every cigar until it awakens through the dynamics between tobacco and aficionado”, explains Fred Vandermarliere, CEO of VCF. “That is why each year I look forward to the Oliva Serie V Melanio Limitada. I am very proud of this year’s result, as it is not only again a unique and fantastic cigar, but also an ode to the most beautiful story: the cycle that turns pure seeds into exclusive cigars. Our cigars do just that: they capture what is incredibly difficult to capture.
The Oliva Serie V Melanio Limitada 2025 Robusto Extra comes in an elegant wooden box, reflecting the natural sources that lead up to this extraordinary product. The Oliva Serie V Melanio Limitada 2025 will be launched during Intertabac on September 18th, 2025.
