Oliva Serie G
$74.83 – $254.81This great brand traces its roots back to 1886 when Melanio Oliva began growing tobacco in Cuba. After the revolution, his grandson Gilberto went to Spain and then settled in Nicaragua. In 1995 Gilberto and his son Gilberto Jr. launched the company.
The 90 rated, box-pressed, Serie G came on the scene in 2007. Cameroon wrapped cigars are among my favorite. Box press them and you’ve won my heart! Oliva’s proprietary blend of Nicaraguan fillers with a vintage Cuban seed grown Habano binder produces a rich, well rounded medium-bodied cigar without any hint of harshness. Many feel that this cigar remains one of the company’s finest to this day. If you’ve had them, you know. If you haven’t tried them, I urge you to grab a five-pack. Serie G is one of my absolute favorites.

As you cruise our site you’ll come upon many small batch brands. As many of these newcomers came and went, Caldwell rose above the herd. But you know this because you landed at this cigar! Yes, you read correctly. The fillers and binder tobaccos are a closely held secret. What you may not know is that there were only 500 boxes of these made.
Robert Caldwell describes his wonderful creation best, “This is one you have to smoke to appreciate. It is balanced, nuanced and subtle. Then out of nowhere, it sucker punches you in the chin. Packed with nicotine, Tsar will melt you into the chair. This is the go-to when you have time to kill and a table to put your feet on. ”
