Oliva Serie V Melanio Toro Grande (Limited Edition 2020)

Oliva releases the 2020 Melanio Limited Edition. And this year, the Nicaraguan company opted for a 6×54 Toro Grande. According to the press release, the exclusive Oliva Serie V Melanio Toro Grande Edición Limitada 2020 is a fabulous cigar. Medium in body yet rich in flavor. For the development and blending of this Oliva Serie V Melanio Toro Grande Edición Limitada 2020, only the best Nicaraguan tobaccos are good enough.

Many of the tobaccos in the Oliva Serie V Melanio Toro Grande Edición Limitada 2020 come from the Jalapa region. Jalapa is a valley in the northern part of Nicaragua. It is right on the border with Honduras and it is one of the four major tobacco-growing regions of Nicaragua. Cigar tobacco from Jalapa is known for its smoother and subtler flavor, as well as its strength profile. The Oliva leaf operations grow tobacco in Jalapa, just like in Esteli and Condega. Oliva Cigar Company owner J. Cortes, acquired the Oliva leaf operations not too long ago.

The wrapper is also from an Oliva farm. But a farm in Ecuador. The wrapper is grown from exclusive Sumatra seeds, creating a delicate and extremely fine wrapper. The cigars are available in lacquered boxes of ten cigars. Unlike the regular production Oliva Serie V Melanio, the Oliva Serie V Melanio Toro Grande Edición Limitada 2020 is round. The regular Melanio cigars are all box-pressed.
