Oliva has emerged as one of the finest cigar makers in Nicaragua over the last 20 years. From their humbled beginnings of making inexpensive bundled cigars to where they are today, making some of the very best highly rated cigars, including winning Cigar Aficionado’s coveted ‘#1 Cigar of the Year’ back in 2014.
The Gilberto Oliva Reserva is the newest creation from this legendary company, the line honors the Oliva’s family patriarch, Gilberto Oliva who helped transform the company as an outstanding tobacco grower and cigar maker. The Gilberto Oliva Reserva is another outstanding premium cigar line, comprised of selected high quality long-filler tobaccos from Ecuador and Nicaragua and cloaked in a dark-brown and oily Sumatra wrapper leaf. The result is a medium-bodied cigar that’s loaded with an array of balanced flavors. The Gilberto Oliva Reserva is a well-constructed cigar that delivers notes of leather, spice, cocoa, and sweet caramel.
