Oliva Serie V Melanio Figurado is the hot cigar of the moment. It highly rated at 92 points by Cigar Aficionado, (also the number 1 cigar of 2012 according to Cigar Snob) and the featured cigar of February, the Figurado is “a gorgeous and complex cigar brimming with floral notes and hints of malted nougat.” The Melanio is named for Don Melanio Oliva, grand-daddy of the Oliva family cigar business. The Figurado vitola is packed without the ordinary tastes including herbal flavors like anise that give it a hint of root beer, a salty quality that gives it a peanuttiness, red pepper and leather. Spicy and sweet with a toasted finish.
