Oliva Series V Ligero Lanceros

Cigar Aficionado's 25 Best Cigars of 2019 - #6 Rated 94.The Oliva Serie V has become one of the best selling cigars on the market in part due to its consistently high ratings and great price. Let Oliva produce such a good cigar and sell it at a reasonable price. But what makes Serie V so popular? It starts with a complex blend of Nicaraguan tobaccos and the special use of ligero from the Jalapa Valley, which provides some of Oliva V's signature leather and spice on the cedar and sweetness notes. Additionally, this cigar delivers a solid earthy note and then develops beautifully, leaving distinctive notes of pistachios, nutmeg, chocolate and almonds. The cigar is dressed in a Habano Sun Grown wrapper, which only adds immense depth and flavor to the cigars. The Oliva Serie V is a full-bodied cigar that can be smoked very well young,  but also ages well due to its full-bodied profile and complex flavors. If you haven't smoked this cigar, we highly recommend you do so to find out why so many cigar smokers make sure to keep their humidors stocked with these superb vitolas.
