Each year Oliva releases a limited edition of the Serie V Melanio in a shape that is not part of the normal production and in a round format instead of box pressed.
In 2023, Aficionados across the globe can look forward to a very unique shape – the Figuriño. This ‘Limitada’ is presented in a beautiful wooden box and offers a cigar shaped like a Figurado but tapered at both ends. The Figuriño was created by Oliva owner Fred Vandermarliere.
Production is limited to 14,500 boxes each containing 10 cigars.
“When the Oliva and Vandermarliere families united to become one big family of cigars, it was because of a shared passion for an incredible heritage and out of ambition for its future. With the Figuriño limited edition, we prove once again that tradition and innovation can go hand in hand if they respect the heart of the craft: purity and purpose. We are convinced that this Limitada will bring moments of deep and intense enjoyment to the biggest fans of one of the best cigars out there.” says Fred Vandermarliere.
Different from past limited editions, this year’s box is more expressive, showing Oliva’s Hacienda de Ernesto, a tobacco field in the Jalapa Valley in Esteli, Nicaragua.
