Oliva Serie G Cigars
Oliva Serie G are a 91 rated blend featuring Nicaraguan Habano long fillers with an African Cameroon leaf wrapper.
Their smooth texture and distinct flavor will gracefully dance over your palate, making you feel increasingly divine with each puff. A rich Nicaraguan Habano filler is the foundation for this masterpiece, giving way to a Cuban-Seed Habano binder.
This special blend creates a harmonious pairing of both robust and smooth flavor qualities. A rich and dark African Cameroon wrapper provides a finishing touch, accenting the delicious silky smoothness of each cigar’s ingredients.
Read moreOliva Serie G is a mellow, medium bodied cigar made by Oliva Cigars. It is an exquisite, delicately trunk-pressed cigar that showcases subtly spicy Nicaraguan Habano sun-grown fillers and binder. There are two choice wrappers for this blend: one is a delightfully aromatic, dainty Cameroonian leaf while the other is a dark, toothy, deeply flavorful Connecticut Broadleaf maduro leaf.
A Little History
Oliva Cigars got into the premium cigar business at the tailend of the cigar boom. To etch a place in the market, they had to create exceptional blends and sell at below average costs. During this period, Oliva Cigars released Flor de Oliva Grand Cameroon which was soon followed by a Maduro counterpart.
After being in the premium handmade cigar business for 11 years, Oliva Cigars rebranded their entire portfolio to create uniformity across the brand. So, in 2006, the Grand series came to an end and a new “Serie” formula began. Oliva Serie G Cameroon took the place of Oliva Grand Cameroon and Serie G Maduro came shortly after to replace Grand Maduro.

Flavour Notes
Oliva Serie G is a highly acclaimed blend with special recognition from top cigar reviewers like CA and Cigar Snob. The Figurado got a 92 rating from Cigar Snob while the Robusto won the Best Cigar of 2006 according to CA.
Oliva Serie G Cameroon is a decadent medium bodied cigar and home to warm toasty nuts, coffee, cedar, wet earth, and the typical subtle Nicaraguan spice.
The Maduro version is awash with dark chocolaty notes, coffee bean, earth, leather, pepper, and charred wood. And ofcourse it wouldn’t be a maduro without the signature maduro sweetness, earthy finish, and nicotine rush.
About Oliva Cigars
Oliva Cigars was acquired by J. Cortes Cigars in 2016. Until the acquisition, Oliva Cigars Co. was one of the top most successful premium cigar makers in the world with impeccable standards. On the other hand, J. Cortes is one of the largest family-owned purveyors of machine made cigars. By adding Oliva Cigars to their portfolio, J. Cortes automatically entered the premium handmade cigar market with a strong brand. J. Cortes acquired all of Oliva’s tobacco growing farms and factories and scaled up dramatically to keep up with the demand without compromising on quality.
