BURLINGTON, N.C. – One of the highest rated and beloved cigars in the industry will be joining the JR Cigar 50th Anniversary Series with its first ever rounded size for the U.S.
The Oliva Serie V Melanio, a special tweaked version of the Oliva Serie V was first introduced in 2012. Since then, it has been one of the most consistently ranked cigars in the industry, garnering several 90+ ratings and a Cigar Aficionado #1 Cigar of the Year award in 2014. Up to now, all Melanio releases in the U.S. have been in the box-pressed format.
For this special Anniversary Series, Oliva has brought a rounded, parejo vitola to the American market for the first time. “Oliva is honored to be a part of the 50th anniversary celebration of JR Cigar,” says Cory Bappert, CEO of Oliva Cigars. “We felt it was fitting to do a special size from our most prestigious line to commemorate such a historic occasion.”
The Oliva Serie V Melanio JR 50th is hand rolled at Tabacalera Oliva de Nicaragua S.A. It uses aged Nicaraguan tobaccos for both the filler and binder. This is followed by a rich and flavorful Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper. Notes of dark chocolate, coffee and cedar combine for a rich yet refined smoking experience.
The cigar is rolled into a rounded 6X50 Toro, the first rounded Melanio ever released in the U.S. These magnificent cigars are packaged in boxes of 10. Notably, this is a limited run project.
Priced at $15.00 per cigar; $127.50 per box, this cigar will be available September 15 exclusively at www.JRCigars.com.
