For the fourth consecutive year, international markets will receive a limited edition round version of Oliva’s Serie V Melanio blend.

The Oliva Serie V Melanio Edición Limitada 2020 is a 6 x 54 toro that is round, an exception to the typically box-pressed Melanio line. It uses the regular Melanio blend, an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan fillers.

Pricing is expected to be around €25 ($29.15) per cigar depending on the market. It will be limited to 3,000 boxes of 10 cigars, making it the largest of the four Melanio international releases to date.

  • Oliva Serie V Melanio Edición Limitada 2017 (6 x 60) — 2017 — 1,500 Boxes of 10 Cigars
  • Oliva Serie V Melanio Edición Limitada 2018 (5 x 50) — 2018 — 1,000 Boxes of 10 Cigars
