Five vitolas from Oliva's award-winning Serie V line, three of them Cigar Aficionado Top 25 selections. One blend throughout, an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper over Nicaraguan long-filler, so this sampler is really about how shape and size change the same cigar.
It is also the cleanest Burn Clock™ ladder in the humidor: five cigars, five durations, 65 minutes up to 90. Pick by how much time you actually have.
Sampler includes:
-
Oliva Serie V Double Robusto (5 x 54): Rated 92 and #12 Cigar of the Year in 2011. The most direct expression of the blend. Power Hour, 65 minutes.
-
Oliva Serie V Diadema (6 x 46): The compact diadema. A thinner ring pushes the spice and pepper forward. Weekend Warrior, 70 minutes.
-
Oliva Serie V Torpedo (6 x 56): Rated 93 and #4 Cigar of the Year in 2007. Tapered head, concentrated flavor. Weekend Warrior, 80 minutes.
-
Oliva Serie V Diadema (7 x 49): The full-size diadema. Elegant and slow-burning, with the line's signature balance. Weekend Warrior, 85 minutes.
-
Oliva Serie V Churchill Extra (7 x 52): Rated 95 and named #5 Cigar of the Year in 2022. The longest and slowest here. Weekend Warrior, 90 minutes.
Expect dark cocoa, cedar, and a spicy leather finish across all five. Pair with bourbon, an old fashioned, or unsweetened cold brew. The two Diademas at different sizes are intentional, and they are the clearest way to taste what ring gauge does to a blend.
Ships from the humidity and temperature-controlled Cigar Nation humidor to help ensure the cigars arrive fresh and ready to enjoy.
