Robusto Ohh it’s a really good cigar!! I love this taste aroma consistency...in my opinion 10/10 5 5 1
Robusto I know people are obsessed with this for some reason but I really do not understand what all the hype's about. They're rated extremely well too which is weird. I don't think the taste is anything special in any way shape or form. The build quality on the other hand is gorgeous. 4 5 1
Robusto smoked my first last evening a day after its delivery and I was in heaven. This cigar was incredible from start to finish. 5 5 1
Robusto Delicious cigar. Sometimes you can find good deals on the box of 10. Flavors of spice chocolate and toast. Favors change as you smoke. Really great experience. Wish I could smoke more often. 5 5 1
Robusto Everyone raves about this cigar and you can definitely see why. The flavors are amazing from beginning to finish. Only negative is the price tag. 5 5 1

Robusto Overall this is a perfect cigar. Can't be in the cigar world without thinking this is a great cigar in all sizes. 5 5 1
Robusto I expected an excellent smoke given the reviews. Upon receipt I was impressed. That moment was brief as the experience was bitter and lacking character. The smoke output was somewhat decent; aroma presented as stale. I find it surprising that it was voted best of 2014. They're awful. I now am reminded to stick with the tried and true. Monte Rocky and Bolivar are consistently satisfying; lesson learned. 1 5 1
Robusto I dont feel like the robusto burns as evenly as the churchill on a consistent bases but it still has all the same great flavors! 5 5 1

Robusto Full of flavor! I prefer the Churchill but don't always have the time to smoke it and this is perfect when I don't have a long time. JRCigars sweetened the deal by adding 10 other olivas with this box! A great cigar well worth the price! 5 5 1

Robusto I really didn't care for this smoke. To me it's a weak cigar and lacks flavor. It just taste like a Bon fire. I wouldn't recommend this stick to anyone. 2 5 1

Robusto The Oliva Series V Melanio is by far and hands down my personal favorite! It has a great flavor that can't be quickly summed up. It has a grace about it that comes with long curing times! Won the 2014 Cigar Aficionado Magazine Cogar of the Year for a reason!!! 5 5 1

Robusto They were on back order for so long I went to JR's and picked up 2 last month. Smoked 1 after letting them sit for 3 weeks in the box. Great smoking cigar. I enjoyed it so much. OLIVA really do put a lot into what they make. My box arrived last week and I see again they are on back order. I'll be smoking these slow. When I'm down to 5 I'll restock. 4 5 1
Robusto I know alot of folks like these but I have to be honest. They are way too strong for me. And I wasn't impressed with the burn or the flavor.. just my honest opinion. I'm sure I will be dogged about it 2 5 1
Robusto Melanio cigars have always had great flavor and fantastic construction. Smooth smoke and definitely a medium strength. Flavors are great as well. This is a go to cigar in my humidor 5 5 1
Robusto There is a reason this is the best cigar of last year. Amazingly flavorful full bodied beauty. I wish they were a little cheaper but I think I may pick up a whole box. Extremely happy 5 5 1

Robusto This cigar gets a 90+ rating from CA for a reason. Burned a little crooked but it might have been my lighters fault (never the operator of the lighter). 4 5 1

Robusto A rich and flavorful cigar with excellent construction. Hints of coffee and spice. Very smooth all everyday smoke. 4 5 1
Robusto A lot of hype. This cigar was good don't get me wrong. I just don't think it's any better than the Oliva V. I would not shy anyone away from buying but forme I will continue to smoke the standard V. 4 5 1
Robusto Nice draw great smoke. Light flavor first third builds to cream with a little spice at end. Good construction firm roll. Wrapper deconstructed a little on mine maybe it was a bad cut. The whole cigar was a pleasurable experience I just wish I didn't have to spend the money for this think there are comparable smokes on the lower end of the price range. 3 5 1
Robusto This Oliva is probably the best Oliva I have ever smoked. So smooth from beginning to end. I understand why it received such a high rating. From the first light the burn was incredible. I would definitely smoke this cigar again! 5 5 1
Robusto Good smoke not my favorite but if you like this kind of cigar you know it's the one for you.. My grandpa likes these it's his flavor but one puff and she was too pungent for my me maybe when I get older and need more punch I'll try these again. 4 5 1
Robusto A very well made cigar with lots of old flavor and nutty undertones . I can see why this cigar is always sold out. 4 5 1
Robusto Dear god where to start on the oliva v series an absolutely amazing cigar. One of the top five cigars I've ever had. There is a legitimate reason this cigar is rated so highly. The draw and construction are among the best I've ever seen or had the pleasure of smoking. The cigar is a full body cigar but the flavor profiles is so expertly crafted you don't even notice. I smoked this cigar all the way to the point it was burning my finger tips and I was still sad to put it down. 5 5 1
Robusto I enjoyed this cigar from beginning to the nub. Smooth almost nutty and light spice finish. A great cigar after a long day. 4 5 1
Robusto Good igar with a nice even burn and good consistency. It smokes for a long time so be prepared for a long t to ime of smoking. Im sure all will like this cigar. 3 5 1
Robusto Tried this beauty in my Olivia rotation The draw was spot on with good volume of smoke. The wrapper held tight all the way through with tight ash. The flavor was full and bold. 4 5 1
Robusto Was okay not sure I would give it another shot. Might not have been my style or maybe I expected too much 3 5 1
Robusto Smooth yet full of spice and flavor with some hints of floral a very easy smoke and a favorite Nicaraguan. 4 5 1
Robusto Good smoke with great draw and solid construction. Flavor was on par and not too strong. Burn was a little uneven but that was probably my fault. Worth every last puff 4 5 1
Robusto This is a very good cigar the only one that's better I think is the O series good draw lots of flavor and a good looking cigar good price for the quality 4 5 1
Robusto Excellent excellent excellent smoke. I'm no expert with picking out different flavors and changes in a cigar but this one is thoroughly enjoyable. 4 5 1
Robusto Full-bodied and full-flavored. You may taste notes of black pepper bread or unsweetened cocoa. You might also notice some toast or coffeedlavors on the finish. 3 5 1
Robusto This Oliva V Melanio is an incredible cigar. This cigar packs a nice punch of pepper and spice on the palate but is nice and soothing with the retrohale bringing out some very pleasureful floral notes that ease the burn of the spice. It's a very medium-full bodied cigar with regards to tobacco strength. However it's very full bodied in terms of flavor. Complex yet balance and easy to smoke! 4 5 1
Robusto One of my favorite go to cigars. Definitely in my humidor at all times. It has a nice leathery wrapper and a medium to full body smoke start to finish is great! 5 5 1
Robusto Oliva is one of my favorite cigars to smoke. I like the O serie but the Serie V Melanio Robusto has a nice smooth pull with a hint of pepper spice. Very delightful cigar for the smoking occasion. 3 5 1
Robusto Got these as a gift and wasn't sure what to expect. I was not disappointed. This even flavored and full bodied cigar did have a tight draw but offered a satisfying smoke. 4 5 1
Robusto This is a very good cigar for a short smoke. Well built and a full body smoke and smooth stronger aroma and smoke bought a box to try 4 5 1
Robusto This is top of the line. This is what you want in a smoke. A nice consistent draw and flavor. Bold but balanced. Overall great cigar 4 5 1
Robusto Series V Olivo is one of the best out there. Very consistent with complex flavors. Would definately get this one again. 4 5 1
Robusto These happen to be my go to cigar. A little pricey but well worth the money. The cigar starts and end smooth a bit spivey off the bat but mellows out as you go. 5 5 1
Robusto bought a box of Robustos and let them sit for 35 days and decided to smoke my first one on the 4th of July. Easily one of the best cigars I have smoked. The only thing I didn't like is that it didn't last longer. I decided to fix that problem and go with a box of churchills on my next purchase;) Great taste and huge amounts of smoke with a near perfect burn and draw. You can't go wrong here. 4 5 1
Robusto Is truly an exceptional smoke. It was worth every penny. I highly recommend it. Have a smooth even pull and has enough power behind it to make it a great after dinner cigar! 5 5 1
Robusto Full body easy drawstays lit but by the time I got half way whewww I felt queezy and lightheaded but I was prewarned before I bought it that it kinda makes you a little messed up 4 5 1
Robusto Good smoke interesting flavors. Best size after the figurado. Pricey but worth the money. Maduro excellent as well. 4 5 1
Robusto Great stick but I prefer the torpedo over the rubusto. I feel that to get the most enjoyment out of this paricular series you need a longer smoke. Even though it was shorter it was enjoyable regardless. This is only my opinion as you can't go wrong with this cigar 5 5 1
Robusto I'm more of a full bodies smoker but I enjoyed the mild flavors of the Serie V. It's an excellent smoke and worth picking up. 4 5 1
Robusto An absolute joy to smoke. Perfectly constructed. An overall winner. From the initial puff to the nub a near perfect stick. VERY highly recommended. A consistent flavor and smoke from beginning to end. Hints of earth leather and mild spices make for a thoroughly enjoyable smoking experience. Although I normally smoke the V Maduro Churchill the robusto makes for an excellent change of pace. Unique. 4 5 1
Robusto Great for relaxing and camping. Wrapping was very nice and great combination of flavors. I was able to get a leather and tobacco flavor right off the bat but towards the end was able to taste a little spice. 4 5 1
Robusto Great full flavor cigar. Great flavor lasts throughout. Starts great and gets even better. Wonderful smoke! 4 5 1
Robusto Oliva Serie is a very nice cigar. It's very mild and the taste is very pleasant. My friends introduced this cigar to me and when I tried the the first time I must say I really liked it so it's a must try!! 4 5 1
Robusto I am not a fan of the box pressed cigars however this one was an exception. The cigar had a great taste throughout the entire stick. Burned great razor sharp. The draw was perfect. Very enjoyable 4 5 1
Robusto This cigar is top notch. Excellent construction color and initial smell. For me the leather and coffee stood out. A lingering sweet caramel as well. Very even burn draw was smooth and slow. Lots of other nuances as well. 5 5 1
Robusto It was a good smoke. It burnt consistently tasted good throughout. It wasn't a smoke however that I would smoke until my fingers burnt because I got kind of bored with the flavor towards the end. I would give it another try though 3 5 1
Robusto Smooth draw with an excellent construction excellent finish. I have enjoyed this with a smooth bourbon. Don't pair it with anything that will overpower it. 4 5 1
Robusto Not a bad smoke . It has a smooth draw. Great to share with friends. I would recamend these to anyone 2 5 1
Robusto Tremendous flavor as you would expect from a cigar of the year winner. Oliva has really been bringing substantial quality and consistency to the table in the past few years culminating with the V line and the melanio. You get a deep rich leather with notes of coffee and chocolate. A retrohale of fragrant wood...not as many flavor changes as some cigars more a building upon flavors that are already near perfect. Try one if you can but in my opinion steer clear of the figurado draw was a bit tight on mine and I had to continuously massage the stick to keep good smoke. 4 5 1
Robusto An interesting flavor may turn away some folks but probably one of the best cigars out there. This cigar is loved by many smokers and is one of the best Olivas out there! Which is saying something... 4 5 1
Robusto A nice full bodied cigar. A little bit stronger than what I typically smoke but a favorite for when I only want to smoke one cigar during an evening. The Oliva Series cigars are always satisfying. 3 5 1
Robusto Great smoke one of my favorite. Great with Tawny Port. It’s definitely my favorite out of the Oliva line. I love the spice that it offers up. A nice big powerful stick is always easy to smoke. 5 5 1
Robusto Tightly wound feels great smells good smaller than it looks in the catalogue or on the web... Burns long 3 5 1
Robusto This cigar was no doubtingly a contender fir cigar of the year. It was top 5 in my book. The flavor is phenomenal. The burn and draw are top notch. Their isn't too many bad things you can say about it. No.1 maybe not but extremely solid. 4 5 1
Robusto I paired this excat cigar with a few glasses of moscow gold vodka and redbull. Great taste and draw but made me break out in hives. Would love to try the cigar again without the drinks. 4 5 1
Robusto Wonderful smoke definitely worth every penny . Chock full of dry woody oak flavors medium full to full great taste all the way to the end . Biggest complaint is that it doesn't last longer ! 4 5 1
Robusto One of the best cigars I've smoked in a long time. Great smoke with a great full body taste. Even burn to the very end. Smoke one today 4 5 1
Robusto No complaints. Ok cigar it's not my cup of tea but not bad. Worth trying if you're looking for something different. 4 5 1
Robusto This is a cigar that anyone could smoke and greatly enjoy. Great price for this stick that I could fire up any evening and savor. 3 5 1
Robusto It's deft smooth cigar and a great price point for the smoke. I smoke this with a nice glass of tauny port and the two go great together. 3 5 1
Robusto The Olivia v was a very flavorful smoke with great construction notes of earth leather and coco abound buy them 4 5 1
Robusto It was very good . Lots of flavor . The construction was excellent and the burn was nice. I would recommend it . 4 5 1
Robusto Very nice and consistent smoke. Good flavor but not overpowering. Clean draw and it didn't come apart in my hand. 4 5 1
Robusto A beautiful full bodied cigar that keeps you interested from start to finish. It's no surprise it was ranked the number 1 cigar by cigar afficianado for 2014 5 5 1
Robusto I smoked the Olivia once as a gift from my friend much better than I thought. Draw was decent and put off good amount of smoke . Held ash pretty good 4 5 1
Robusto Absolutely amazing. Better than the serie v! It has the same intensity but a more complex flavor. Beautiful in every single way 4 5 1
Robusto I went through a box of these and enjoyed every puff as if it was my last. Perfect balance of flavors and spice. This is how a cigar should taste. 5 5 1
Robusto Creamy spicy flavors. Always a solid choice however I'd buy more of them if they weren't so expensive 4 5 1
Robusto I was given a box of these as a gift. Only real problem I had with it was the draw but otherwise a decent cigar. 3 5 1
Robusto Good cigar nice smoke draw was a little different. Overall I would not exo ext anything less from Oliva cigars they seem to be fairly consistent. 4 5 1
Robusto Love this stick. The Melanio especially has a very smooth profile. For the price one of my favorite cigars. 3 5 1
Robusto Really tasty. Very consistent all the way through. The sungrown wrapper adds a bit of spice and nuttiness that the original V didn't quite have. 4 5 1
Robusto Great cigar. Very peppery taste but extremely smooth. Runs somewhere in the medium strength. Good construction and draw and ample smoke production. 4 5 1
Robusto Construction feels very solid despite having a really tight draw. The flavors of the first third were leathery and heavily peppered. The 2nd third improved greatly with a looser draw and introductions to some creamy flavors. The burn was solid to the end which had more hits of pepper leather and cream 3 5 1
Robusto Cheaper than my Liga Privada #9's and in my opinion a better tasting smoke. Soooo smooth & consistant down to the nub. Named CA's Cigar of the Year '14 wouldn't waste any time grabbing a box before they sell out or raise the price or both. 5 5 1
Robusto Having smoked a few of these I can say without a doubt a great stick. I prefer mine punched and they have great draw and full flavor. Razor sharp burn line with noted of leather and a nutty finish. Great stick if you can find them! 4 5 1
Robusto Bought a single at a local cigar loungeGreat cigar. Smooth great burn. Even better than the original V. Will buy and smoke again. 5 5 1
Robusto A great medium to full bodied smoke with lots of flavor ! Definitely not an every day smoke due to the price but a cigar I would smoke again. 4 5 1
Robusto I did enjoy this smoke. Had excellent flavor but wasn't always consistent. The aroma was nice and a very beautiful burn and ash. Will buy again. 4 5 1
Robusto It was a real good smoke i like the way it burn the draw on was was ok it was constructed was nice. It had a real nice burn to it . 4 5 1
Robusto Great smoke. The flavor is more on the coffee/mocha side. I didn't notice that pleasant change in flavor that I usually taste about halfway through most sticks which was a little disappointing but nothing terrible. For me the draw was very good (I used a punch cutter) and stayed that way throughout the length of the stick. There was a decent amount of smoke but not as much as something like a Liga Privada. This is actually one of my favorite cigars so far! 4 5 1
Robusto Good stick for the price...i prefer the Serie G but this stick is proper nonetheless...Worthy of a few slots in the humidor 3 5 1
Robusto Quality cigar I would smoke again flavor did seem to change from cigar to cigar though. I would recommend everyone give it a try in a smaller size of possible. 4 5 1
Robusto I smoked this one when I was just starting to get into cigars. Definitely had a great draw to it and burned evenly throughout its entirety. Although I did like the smoke it was a little too strong for me at the time and left me lightheaded. 4 5 1
Robusto Great cigar with a nice flavor. Good consistency from beginning to end. Good value for the price. Would purchase this again 3 5 1
Robusto One of the best by far smooth and just all around great smoke. By far one of the best for price. I would recommend this cigar to anyone from a first timer to someone that have enjoyed cigar for a long time. 5 5 1
Robusto Great smooth smoke enjoyed it thoroughly. Highly recommend it to all my friends. Long lasting. Nice draw. Good construction. Pleasant smell. 3 5 1
Robusto This is a superb smoke. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good robust full bodied cigar. 4 5 1
Robusto Excellent smoke with flavor throughout. Lots of sweet smooth smoke that goes very well with coffee or your favorite bourbon. Highly recommened as a true treat from Oliva. 5 5 1
Robusto Outstanding cigar we all know what that is when we have one. Hard to find words to trully describe this one is the real deal. 4 5 1
Robusto Great sick. I love Ovila! Very smooth nice medium to fill smoke. Some chocolate and leather. Hint of spice. Great balance. Oliva makes a consistently great product. Would definitely recommend. 4 5 1
Robusto I've smoked a few of these and have enjoyed the flavor very much. Sweet cream tobacco and nuts. My only issue is on the last one I had the wrapper leaf cracked and came off 4 5 1
Robusto Great smoke - need to give it some storage time to age it. Great draw - full but not harsh. A great go to smoke. i don't do chocolate coffee ....just do great smokes 4 5 1
Robusto I bought one of these beauties at a cigar store during the Stanley Cup playoffs. Like the Blackhawks they are a winner. It burned a little faster than what I like though. 3 5 1
Robusto Nice medium cigar. Beautiful aroma. Hint of cocoa upon igniting. Smooth all the way thru. The cigar burned evenly the whole way thru. I couldn't put it down. Upon finishing I craved another one. 3 5 1
Robusto Olivia makes rock solid stick point blank and this one is no exception to that. Great draw and pretty decent flavor. This will not let you down. 4 5 1
Robusto It's a great stick definitely on the fuller side. It starts off slow but as you get to the 2nd third you'll get a pickup that is hard to be beat. Construction is always top notch. 4 5 1
Robusto Love this cigar every time i smoke it. Consistently smooth draw with flavors the buikd up as you smoke. Medium to moderate strength 5 5 1
Robusto Great cigar. Really appreciated the flavor and quality. Easy to smoke. Will definitely buy again the the future. 4 5 1
Robusto I walked in my local JR's for this specifically due to it being the cigar of the year. A bit steep on price but none the less a magnificent smoke. Although I prefer the Melanio maduro a bit more because I am more of a full bodied type guy I really did enjoy it. It was smooth and had excellent flavor. Had an even burn and I love the figurado shape 5 5 1
Robusto Very smooth and consistent smoke. A very nicely rolled stick with hints of spice/pepper and nutmeg mid way through. Finished very nice. 3 5 1
Robusto Nice smoke really enjoyed. Perfect cigar to sit on the porch and smoke with some buddies or even by yourself if you don't have any buddies to smoke with 4 5 1
Robusto First class cigar -- I've never been a fan of Olvias but this one is great 4 5 1
Robusto This is one of my favorite sticks. The price is great and this is truly a great cigar. I try and smoke one of these at least once a day. 5 5 1
Robusto While it isn't my favorite this is a pleasurable smoke which I will definitely buy in the future. Definitely worth it. 3 5 1
Robusto This is a smooth and medium to mild flavored cigar never hot always a easy draw. I can't say anything bad about this cigar. 5 5 1
Robusto There's a reason why the Melanio was named Cigar of the Year! Albeit a different vitola.... This cigar is creamy smooth and well-balanced. Maybe a little light if you love full-bodied powerhouses but otherwise it's a phenomenal smoke! 5 5 1
Robusto Has a good flavor profile draw and a couple transistions im not a fan of the Price point think some places are a little high but just my opinion 4 5 1
Robusto I smoke these as a special treat to myself. These are great cigars they draw well the flavor is wonderful and I would recommend these for any time of day not just a treat. 4 5 1
Robusto Very great smoke I like the consistency it is very mild and went great with cognac I would recommend to anyone and I plan to keep in my humidor 4 5 1
Robusto Toast bread and dough to name some enjoyable flavors from this cigar. Beautiful construction and lovely ash. A cigar that is noteworthy of significance. 5 5 1
Robusto Olivia is one of my favorite brands and the Robusto is my favorite size. I would buy again. This Cigar has great flavor not to strong and not too mild. The cigar burns even and not too fast. It is one cigar that will always be in my humidor. 4 5 1
Robusto Starts out a little bit on the dry side but turns into a really flavorful smoke that lasts all the way to the end. Good matched up with a hoppy beer or a smooth bourbon. You will enjoy these. 3 5 1
Robusto I really enjoyed the V over the G. I'm a fan of leather chocolate and coffee flavors. Everything about this cigar worked for me. A solid smoke each and every time. 4 5 1
Robusto This is a very full bodied cigar with a very distinct smoke. I enjoyed it very much and I mostly smoke full bodied cigars. This is probably more for the long time aficionado than a beginner. 4 5 1
Robusto I just prefer a darker smoke. It's pretty smooth. I'd buy another if I had a choose on a mild smoke. There at a decent price as well for the way they are made. Plus I'm still young and began with the sugar tipped acids. maybe the older I get the better I can take the flavors more serious. If any body has a opinion on how I should start with other brands please let me know. I'm very curious and willing to try new cigars. But overall I prefer a tobacco pipe with a woodsy taste on a nice cold day. 2 5 1
Robusto This is actually only of my daily smokers! I love the tight construction of this cigar! Full of flavor and it just has a lot of different flavored you get from the filler and the wrapper it's a great mixture of all! 4 5 1
Robusto The entire Olivia v series are great cigars and the Melanio is quite possibly the best of the bunch. They have such a rich and full flavor yet it is light enough to enjoy at any time during the day. Perfect for any occasion! 4 5 1
Robusto This thing rates right up there with Padron! Deffinantly one for the ages. I don't think I have had a bad Oliva yet. 5 5 1
Robusto I found it to be a bit strong but suttle. I truly enjoy my cigars with a glass of whiskey I find this to be an amazing combination. 3 5 1
Robusto great cigar. One of top cigars on the market. Lovely chocolate and coffee flavor. The draw is wonderful. Just look at the ratings on cigar aficionado. It lists as one of the cigars of the year. 4 5 1
Robusto The construction was very good on this cigar which led to an excellent burn and draw. While I don’t overvalue the appearance of cigars for reviews this is an beautiful cigar to look at while smoking. I enjoyed the box press shape and the double bands aren’t overwhelming. Even though the Serie V Melanio reaches full strength by the end novice and veteran smokers alike should be able to enjoy this vitola. Novice smokers may feel the need to put it down before reaching the last third I don’t see that as a tremendous loss since the cigar displays it’s full array of quality flavors in the first 2/3rds. The abundance of quality flavors in this cigar is not to be taken lightly. However I feel the presentation of them fell somewhat short of what I expected. The Serie V Melanio presented various flavors that I enjoy but the proper dosage of them was incorrect at least for me. This might correct itself in a different size or with more time to rest. I’ve seen this cigar rated very highly from various reputable cigar reviewers online and while my experience was enjoyable I wouldn’t quite put it on the same level as the other reviews. My only assumption (take this with a grain of salt) is the cigars reviewed by me were purchased at local cigar store while the others were given a single cigar at the 2012 IPCPR. From past experience blends do change from the IPCPR to what is sold to retailers on occasion. I had to make a decision between purchasing the Serie V or Serie V Melanio which would I choose? Both of them. They are two different cigars with two different wrappers. They don’t smoke similar in flavor nor look similar in appearance so I feel they fill the needs of different niches. In my limited experience I find the Serie V more enjoyable but I haven’t quite tried the various sizes offered in the Melanio so take that as my initial assessment. While the price point may be higher than most people are comfortable paying I certainly feel it’s a cigar worth trying. I plan to keep maybe a “fiver” on hand to see how they age even though a box would only be a ten count. 4 5 1
Robusto No doubt one of my favorite cigars. Super smooth and has an amazing draw. I would love to buy a box if these. If you haven't tried it yet your missing out 5 5 1
Robusto I have smoked this cigar on several occasions. It has a good bold flavor. I taste a mixture of pepper and coffee after the first few draws. The draw is excellent. It is a little pricey but worth it I am writing this to get free chips 5 5 1
Robusto Decent enough smoke. Not one of my favorites. I would share one with novice smokers. I have a couple in my visitors humidor. The ones I received didn't burn evenly and were wrapped tighter toward the band. 3 5 1
Robusto Nice stick. Good value for the money. Not too mild but very smooth. Try this you will not be disappointed. 4 5 1
Robusto I mean this cigar is got to be in the top 5 in the world I mean it doesn't get any better its just well balanced well rounded full of everything you would want in a cigar. plus they have the Maduro It just increases the richness and flavor I mean you just can't look for anything any better it might be something that is as good but not better. Oliva just don't put out a bad cigar period. 5 5 1
Robusto The Oliva Serie V is a beauty. This is one cigar you have to have in your humidor. The appearance flavor and burn are everything you'd expect from an Oliva. 5 5 1
Robusto This was honestly one of my favorite cigars I've smoked. It has a great draw that stays consistent throughout. The taste is smooth and I found that it doesn't leave the typical cigar taste in your mouth. This is a 5 star cigar that is highly recommended 5 5 1
Robusto I don't usually smoke fuller body cigars but this one is fantastic if you like Olivia you need to try it 4 5 1
Robusto Very good draw and constuction. Flavor was pretty straight forward throughout with little change from 1st third to last 3rd of cigar. Medium for sure. One of my favorite offerings from Oliva.. 4 5 1
Robusto Great for special occasions. Cigar has great construction. Wrapper appears flawless and rustic although not quite as rustic as say a Padron. 4 5 1
Robusto One of the few that truly can be savored !! Magnificent! A perfect balance with some sweet notes very nicely priced as well for the quality. 4 5 1
Robusto One of the best cigar I smoked in a long while. I only smoke this stick on special occasions whether it's with the fellas or a good fortune that came up. You cannot go wrong this thus cigar. 5 5 1
Robusto Perfect cigar for all occasions. The flavor is what make this smoke stand out. I would recommend to anyone. 5 5 1
Robusto Overall the wrapper was very uniform with a slight oily quality about it. Cold draw was very earthy with some slight cedar undertones. The overall burn of the cigar was slow and even I just the way it should be. Quite a bit of pepper in this stick (I usually prefer more mild bodied smokes) but presented some tasty notes of raisin milk chocolate and that wonderful cedar throughout... Great smoke! 4 5 1
Robusto Beautiful wrapper excellent cap all veins are small. Nice smooth draw but a slight plastic-y flavor. No hint in the lit smoke though. Roasted coffee sweet like molasses. Toasted almond-like note. Halfway in I get a wonderful toasted coconut note. Creaminess just barely shows up Halfway through coconut nice subtle change. Lots of black pepper on the finish. Lingers on the palate. Beautiful. One thing about Oliva cigars. Flawless construction. Every cigar I've ever had of theirs. 4 5 1
Robusto The Oliva Serie V is nothing short of greatness. From the full body to the flawless draw there is very little that can be found wrong with this Nicaraguan smoke. The Sumatra wrapper is seamlessly adhered the filler combination of Habano and Jalapa blend is very smooth. This cigar while expertly constructed has been priced at an exceptionally reasonable price point. Any cigar aficiando would fall head over heals for this cigar. 4 5 1
Robusto Excellent burn smooth flavor. I received a box of these smokes from a friend (had not smoked these previously ) and was pleasantly surprised. Looking forward to more great deals so I can pick up a couple more boxes 4 5 1
Robusto A Very rich well balanced stick. From start to finish the flavors are consistent. I can see why it was picked as cigar of the year. BDefinately a must have in every humidor. 4 5 1
Robusto Milder than the regular blend but nice leathery notes slight pepper and great tight ash. I would consider smoking these on a regular basis if the price was better. 4 5 1
Robusto This stick is pretty comparable to a Padron but not as fulfilling on the flavor side. A great alternative though if the Padrons are a little out of your price range. The wrapper is well constructed with almost no visible veins. Very smooth. Tastes more on the medium side than full smooth thick smoke and a hint of spice. 4 5 1
Robusto This cigar was well worth the money. Easily one of the best cigars I've smoked this year. Perfect draw complex aromas. Outstanding!!! 4 5 1
Robusto This is one of my favorite cigars hands down. One of the few cigars I've bought a box of and plan on buying another. Definitely worth the cost IMHO. 4 5 1
Robusto Easily one of the greatest sticks I've had. They hit a home run when they introduced this stick. Do yourself a favor and try it out. 5 5 1
Robusto This a strong smoke. I am not sure that it is worthy of cigar of the year but it was a decent smoke 4 5 1
Robusto As noted construction was flawless. Not an overly complex smoke but good solid earthiness and leather throughout. Good smoke producer and perfect for someone who wants to step up from mild bodied cigars and expand their horizons. 4 5 1
Robusto I prefer the regular serie V and the serie V Maduro but this one is nice. Creamy smoke slightly sweet woody and a bit of pepper. 4 5 1
Robusto The first puff was a bit spicy but after 4-5 it started to have a nice woodsy caramel taste. Very creamy towards the end and never got hot...nice puffs down to the very end. The Melanio is a great cigar but I still favor the Series V. Just my preference! 5 5 1
Robusto Surprisingly good olivia is a great label and this is no exception. I typically stay away frpm this price range but I'd smoke this cigar again no doubt 4 5 1
Robusto Very smooth medium bodied cigar. Good flavors throughout. Well constructed nice and easy draw. Consistent burn. 4 5 1
Robusto Great smoke. Nice even draw all the way to the end. A real pleasure fore any cigar smoker. great job JR Cigar! 3 5 1

Robusto One of my favorite! This cigar is very flavorful and peppery. It is definitely a full flavored smoke. I usually enjoy one after a good dinner. 5 5 1
Robusto Super smooth. Great morning cigar with coffee. Light and easy good smoke prduction even burn as well. 4 5 1
Robusto This was a fantastic smooth cigar. Consistently kept it's flavor throughout the smoke. Did not sour toward the end of the smoke like a lot of cigars. 4 5 1
Robusto Being a beginner with cigars I was hesitant to spend the money on this stick. I can honestly say it was well worth the money. A full flavored cigar that is not overpowering and can be easily smoked by those who prefer a more mild-med strength smoke. Highly recommend! 5 5 1
Robusto A wonderful smoke that is nice to enjoy with a fine bourban...J.R. has proven to me that they carry the largest selection of cigars; plus their customer service is outstanding!!! 4 5 1
Robusto I got 3 of these as a birthday present and they were excellent! Good draw stays lit and nice flavour! 5 5 1
Robusto Tried one of these on a whim. I was pleasantly surprised. It was mild the draw was nice and there was no burn problems. I would try these again 4 5 1
Robusto Very nice and excellent flavor. Very well made and had a nice finish. Fits well with a scotch and poker night. 4 5 1
Robusto This cigar is a must for any aspiring aficionado or current. The draw is a bit on the tight side but that's what I like anyways and it doesent go out like other cigars. 4 5 1
Robusto Great taste and lasted long. It was a great deal in it when I got it and I told many people to try it. 4 5 1
Robusto One of the best cigars I have ever had. It had great flavor. Very tight roll. Great little smoke impeccably even burn and medium-full flavor profile. Leather wood and chocolate with touches of marzipan from time to time. Limited spiciness. 4 5 1
Robusto Ok cigar. A little too vigorous for my taste. Started out nice but turned to spicy toward the end. Overall an good to ok 3 5 1
Robusto Tightly wraped but with a few rolls between fingers the draw was better. Notes of cinnamon. Pretty consistent through out. Would buy again. 4 5 1
Robusto Great construction nice smooth draw great flavorwonderful clouds of white gray smoke with a great aroma another perfect stick in the Oliva family 4 5 1
Robusto It's very tasty! Oliva makes very solid smokes nothing super complex. I'd probably smoke another i probably wouldn't buy a fiver of them though. They're good but nothing I'd pick up unless I was given it. 4 5 1
Robusto Extremely chocolatey. Has some decent spice to back it up. Wish it was a little creamier to go with the chocolate.. incredibly smooth all the way through. Spice picks up throughout the cigar and chocolate is ever present. Will definitely buy again 4 5 1
Robusto One of the most flavorful cigars I have ever smoked sweet chocolate coffee little pepper creamy as they come well worth the price and all the hype 5 5 1
Robusto This cigar is great it has a classic taste And Is less feeling everyone should atleast try 1 or 2 the price is well worth it JR is the greatest for giving us such great prices 4 5 1
Robusto The Melanio robusto is an excellent cigar. Just opening the box to see ten of these beauties sets the stage for what you're about to enjoy. The wrapper is flawless with a practically invisible seam. I used a Xicar V cutter to open the head. The preflight draw was tough so I performed another cut; making an X. Initial light-up brought excellent flavor with some pepper. This cigar is very similar to the Oliva V only smoother. The flavor stayed excellent throughout the cigar. In fact I enjoyed it so much I had to break out the nub tool to keep from burning my fingers. I'd rate this 5 stars if not for the tough draw. Perhaps a few months in the humidor at 65% will improve it. For now 4-4.5 stars. 4 5 1
Robusto I really enjoyed smoking this Robusto. I've had several samples and would consider this slightly more complex vs. the normal V. Great construction and burn. Highly recommend trying one for yourself! 4 5 1
Robusto These are wonderful smokes. Highly recommended. These burn well taste great and are a perfect size for a medium amount of time. 5 5 1
Robusto A great peppery earthy chocolaty and complex stick. If you like Padrons you will like this. One of my favorites. 5 5 1
Robusto It was good and spicy! The burn quality was fantastic and the flavors were very potent not totally my style though 4 5 1
Robusto This cigar had a great draw and nice even burn. I'll be buying these again. The cigar gives off a nice aroma people kept coming up to me asking what i was burning. Great cigar... 4 5 1
Robusto This is going to be it is one of my next purchase I have heard several good things from a lot of friends and it is on my list to try 5 5 1
Robusto What a great smoke! I love boxed pressed cigars. This blend is amazing. Very smooth and flavorful. It tastes like a hard to find limited edition blend but this cigar is easy to find. 4 5 1
Robusto The Oliva Series V Melanio has won many awards and rightfully so. This is one of the best cigars on the market. A full bodied gem that is as smooth as they come 5 5 1
Robusto This cigar actually should've been cigar of the year every year since it came out! Great draw even burn and a taste all its own. You'll never feel let down or cheated with a melanio in any size. 5 5 1
Robusto A solid smoke. This is a great mid day cigar. I prefer stronger for evening smoking. Consistency from cigar to cigar was great. Worth buying a box. 4 5 1
Robusto This was a very good smoke for when you have time and good coffee to pair it with. Strong but smooth and very flavorful. 4 5 1
Robusto Oliva serie v Milanou Is a great smoke it has an abundance of smoke and flavor from beginning to end. They are awesome. Sometimes you need luxury. 4 5 1
Robusto A good cigar with a fair amount of flavor. Enjoyed it for a first time smoke. I have the series G and enjoyed those as well. So far this brand has been a good choice. 3 5 1
Robusto Very nice. Good mild smoke. Very nice draw burned well. Paired very well with woodford reserve. Would definitely smoke again and definitely worth buying. I personally have loved almost everything I've ever smoked from Olivia. 4 5 1
Robusto This cigar is a well balanced medium to full bodied cigar. From the very beginning of the cigar the almighty peppery and leathery notes sing through. I definitely will smoke many more of these. 4 5 1
Robusto After seeing the CA list for 2014 I had to try this cigar and I was not disappointed. One of my favorite all time smokes 4 5 1

Robusto I had this with my morning coffee 1 sugar 1 cream and it paired very nicely. Moderate in strength it was a nice pick me up. 3 5 1
Robusto This is my new favorite. Had my first one at an Oliva event. Good draw great overall flavor. Tiny bit shaky on the construction with the first. The rest I've had have been good. 4 5 1

Robusto One of my favorite smokes good draw and flavor. Has a smooth flavor with earthy and leathery tastes pairs well with dark roast coffee. 4 5 1
Robusto Salt coffee nuts mild cinnamon and pepper to start. Favors build to medium-full by the end. Burn is fantastic. All around a great stick. 4 5 1
Robusto Very toothy Nicaraguan wrapper reminiscent of a Padron or Jericho Hill. The smoke wasnt bad but I can find a better bang for my buck all over. It had a decent chocolaty taste no construction issues I would blame on the cigar. It may do well with some age 4 5 1
Robusto Definitely an enjoyable smoke. Great flavor good draw and an even burn. Price wasn't too bad but probably not a daily smoke. As much as i enjoyed it it wasn't something that really blew me a away. I would recommend trying it to anyone.I will get it again at some point. 3 5 1
Robusto Smooth excellent box press...construction is superb! Compkex medium to full stregth with complex flavirs. I smoked mine while riding through the National Forest at 25-30mph which can be s problem with badly constructed smokes... 4 5 1
Robusto Good smoke production. Flavors were muted in comparison to other Oliva V series. Presentation and wrapper are beautiful. Not a bad cigar but not as good as the normal Serie V line. 3 5 1
Robusto One of my favorite cigars at the moment. Even though some people dismiss the hype I love what this cigars brings to the table. Delicious chocolate notes and a hearty tabacco flavor makes this cigar a favorite with coffee or a stout beer. 4 5 1
Robusto the draw was slightly tight on the 2 I smoked but that did not stop this from being a great cigar! Medium- full to full strength and an overall tasty treat! 4 5 1
Robusto Great smoke! Olivias are some of the most consistat cigars ive ever had. Each cigar is just like the last. And in this case thats a good thing. Produces a nice white ash with razer sharp burn line 4 5 1
Robusto The one thing that I came away with after smoking this beauty is the draw. It's thick and smoky and will make itself known once you take a pull 5 5 1
Robusto I love everything about this stick. Great flavors and excellent construction. Lots of peppery goodness along with a wonderful cocoa flavor. 4 5 1
Robusto I have always been an Olivia fan and this cigar seems to reinforce my feelings about them. The cigar has an excellent draw to it and a nice build as well might I add. This cigar I also find to be mild. In all this is a very enjoyable cigar! 4 5 1
Robusto Well constructed cigar. Get sweet notes with creamy flavor. Picks up on spice in the second third. Then it all comes together in the third and you get sweet with some spice but not over powering. Still creamy. 4 5 1
Robusto Good cigar but I feel like the flavor could have been a bit richer especially in a Maduro. Would buy it again however. 4 5 1
Robusto Very solid stick. Very creamy but just a touch of spice. Very different from the regular serie V but good none the less. I would recommend a fiver to pretty much any cigar smoker. Get it! 4 5 1
Robusto #1 cigar of the year from Cigar Aficionado. This is a great tasting cigar specially rolled in the factory. I would include it in my regular list of cigars. 4 5 1

Robusto Very smooth and enjoyable smoke at a great price. 5 5 1
Robusto This is one of my all time favorites,both natural and Maduro. Everything about it says perfection,from the gorgeous wrapper to the razor sharp burn. It’s a rich flavorful smoke with touches of leather,pepper and coffee. This one I will buy again and again. 5 5 1
Robusto Excellent après le repas. Fumeur occasionnel j'apprécie ce cigare en alternance avec le Davidoff 2000. Dans lignée des bons cigares. Ne se consume pas trop vite. Accompagne très bien un whisky JURA. 4 5 1

Robusto This is really Good cigar! Oliva V is my favourite. I LOVE this taste..and lenght. Construction and consistency are perfect! 5 5 1
Robusto Purchased a box of 10 and I'm thoroughly satisfied. The Oliva Serie V Melanio is among my favorites. Great cigar at a great price JR Cigars even threw in 10 free Oliva cigars with my purchase! (5 serie O robustos 5 Nub CT's). My only complaint is that it says it comes with 2 boveda packs but someone must've forgotten to throw them in when packaging my order. It's a slight complaint and the 10 free cigars makes up for it. I'm happy with my purchase it's just that I don't have a humidor of my own and wanted to keep em as fresh as possible. I'll be purchasing more Melanio's for sure. 5 5 1
Robusto This has been one of my favorites for a while now. Great smoke! 5 5 1
Robusto First time trying these will order again. 5 5 1
Robusto If you like the regular V as much as I do this will be a real treat. It's definitely worth the price tag that comes with it. Not for a daily smoke but a real treat. 5 5 1

Robusto This is my preferred size and I cannot say anything bad about this cigar since it is on my top list 5 5 1

Robusto Great smoke for the money. Tell a friend! I would recommend to anyone that enjoys the finer things. 3 5 1
Robusto I recently got this in a JRs sampler bundle. I liked it because it is a smaller cigar that I found to not be too overwhelming.

Also I really liked the construction... held its shape during the smoke better that a lot other cigars that would atart falling apart mid smoke... 4 5 1

Robusto I smoked this about a month ago. It has great quality and tastes wonderful. It is a good smoke to gave on your way back from work. 4 5 1

Robusto Great stick for the price very smooth draw excellent taste very fragrent aroma even my wife didn't mind coming in the room when I smoked these 4 5 1
Robusto Name says it all robusto! A hearty smoke but not to stout that it would awaken an episode of Tales From The Crypt but strong enough to compete with the glass of Makers Mark on rocks you have in the other hand. 3 5 1
Robusto The Oliva Serie V Melanio is one hell of a smoke. The wrapper is so silky smooth. This is one finely handcrafted cigar that explodes with Rich flavors . It's a cool slow and even burning cigar that will satisfy you from first light to nub. This cigar is a must try for any cigar lover. 5 5 1
Robusto I don't know if I got a bad box or what but these were terrible. I like the g series a lot better. I wouldn't have it again. 2 5 1
Robusto Great smoke. It's no wonder it was the Cigar of the Year! I've had three so far and each one has been consistently constructed and full of flavor. Easy draw lots of chewy smoke. Delicious. 4 5 1
Robusto Exectlent draw great flavora very pretty looking wraper all aroundGreat smoke. I see why CA named it number. 5 5 1
Robusto A friend brought these for our cigar Thursday get together. I have tried most oliva and sometimes they are hit and miss. I've had 5 since first trying and have enjoyed each one. 4 5 1

Robusto Great cigar smooth and consistent. Nice size. Rich tones. It was in my humidor for a quite some time. Huge fan of Olivia's line of cigars. 5 5 1

Robusto Wonderful stick. Great aroma I would definitely recommend this to a friend. I even got My wife to try this one and she liked this one and she don't smoke that often. 3 5 1
Robusto The Olivia series V is the dominant cigar of the oliva series. Great brand great cigar great amok great time. 4 5 1
Robusto One of the best economy premium cigars out on the market today. Has an earthy start to it with an outstanding draw. Very easy to smoke and the finish isn't too hot with a very even burn throughout 3 5 1
Robusto This is one of my favorite Olivia cigars. It burned clean all the way to the end and had great flavor though out the entire stick 4 5 1
Robusto Very good cigar from start to finish. ..I was a little disappointed the first time I smoked one because I was comparing it to the series V ..this cigar is great in its own right but definitely not as full as the original series V.. 4 5 1
Robusto Thought this was a good cigar for a person who only smokes them occasionally. I thought that they were well priced and tasted good. I will be buying these in the future and my friends will be as well. 3 5 1
Robusto I forgot my cigars when I went to a weekly poker game. The house was kind enough to give me one of these cigars. Very flavorful. Just a hint of leather coffee and nuts. Unfortunately it had a tendency to run. 4 5 1
Robusto The Melanio robusto is an excellent cigar. Just opening the box to see ten of these beauties sets the stage for what you're about to enjoy. The wrapper is flawless with a practically invisible seam. I used a Xicar V cutter to open the head. The preflight draw was tough so I performed another cut; making an X. Initial light-up brought excellent flavor with some pepper. This cigar is very similar to the Oliva V only smoother. The flavor stayed excellent throughout the cigar. In fact I enjoyed it so much I had to break out the nub tool to keep from burning my fingers. I'd rate this 5 stars if not for the tough draw. Perhaps a few months in the humidor at 65% will improve it. 4 5 1
Robusto This Oliva is a well made great tasting cigar. It has lots of coffee notes and a great medium spice level. It's a beautiful cigar. 5 5 1
Robusto I shared one of these with my mates on a off outing. Wow I loved it but it was a bit strong for my friends that did not smoke. Great for the fire and a beer or the poker room at Ballys 5 5 1
Robusto Theres a reason this was number one! I personally prefer the maduro version but its a great stick. Wish i could smoke one every day but the price is just too high😭 4 5 1
Robusto One of my absolute favorites! This was the best summer vacation cigar! Draw was excellent really felt like smoking with class. Flavor notes of light hickory and a medium roasted coffee. Zips the sides of the tongue on the initial taste made even more enjoyable once re-lit! 5 5 1
Robusto Excellent smoke - right down to the nub - a friend gave me one and after an hour in a half it was just ash - and I wanted more! Great cigar in all categories 5 5 1
Robusto This cigar was one of the first I've ever smoked and it was excellent. Consistent throughout with a bold flavor. A mainstay in my humidor. 4 5 1
Robusto Excellent great tasting cigar. Good burn good draw perfect for that time you need to sit back and let your cares float away. 4 5 1
Robusto Great smoke. Lighter than I normally go but with plenty of flavor and a little spice. Nicely tingly on the retro hale while not overpowering. Very even burn and a delightful smoke. 4 5 1
Robusto I know the torpedo won Cigar of the Year but I don't like the shape of torpedoes or the feel of them in my mouth. The robusto is my favorite size and this is one of the best on the market. Full-flavored consistent construction and never anything less than a razor-sharp burn. It's exactly what you'd expect from Oliva V Series. 5 5 1
Robusto Smoke was good overall but it burned a little odd during my smoke. Flavor was a little harsh in beginning but smoothed out to a fine smoke. 3 5 1
Robusto I loved this cigar! Well constructeddraw stayed consistent the whole way through plenty of smoke no hot spots even burn and fantastic flavor. Every Oliva I've tried has been amazing steady rotation in my humidir 5 5 1
Robusto A great cigar worth all of the great reviews. Satifing full body smoke. Great after a good meal. Would definitely recommend these. 4 5 1

Robusto This cigar is a solid addition to any collection. It is not something that will wow you but I guarantee that you will enjoy it from time to time. 3 5 1
Robusto Draw felt tight beautiful cigar very tasty earthy leathery full bodied smoke Not for a beginner Priced just right 4 5 1
Robusto Such a perfect stick and to me the robusto is the perfect size as well. There is no reason this one should never be in stock in your rotation!! 5 5 1
Robusto Solid cigar and well worth the price. Bought a box for the golf course. Like mild more than medium but this was good for a medium for sure. 4 5 1

Robusto Amazing smoke. Smooth draw from beginning to end. This is one of my go to cigars after a long day of work. Would recommend to anyone looking for a smooth cigar. 4 5 1
Robusto Very well constructed and overall a great cigar. Picked one up in a shop in Seattle and had a good time smoking it. 4 5 1
Robusto I bought this one before I learned how to find what I like. This was an excellent cigar just right for me. I like cigars that set me back in the chair and make me wait for the next puff. This cigar I smoked without noticing it. Also this one had no flavor that I could detect. It's finely made. Obviously the medium strength and flavor are intentional. Someone loves these. I'll purchase them again. I'll rate it ok on flavor as strength is medium. 3 5 1
Robusto Great smoke! I would recommend this stick for a good relaxing day. Good draw and well constructed. Buy a box today! 5 5 1
Robusto One of the best you can get. Burn draw construction flavor all surpassed even high expectations for me. Never have had a bad one you won't forget this cigar. Get some! 5 5 1
Robusto An outstanding cigar with spicy and cedar notes abound. Construction and draw was flawless. I did have to touch up the cigar to burn evenly at the start but I blame a lighter I've never used before. 4 5 1
Robusto Fantastic cigar great taste!! Burns really well can smoke these every day. A+ I would recommend this to everyone. 5 5 1
Robusto Superior quality just like I had expected from this brand. Full of flavor its def a medium-full to full flavored. 4 5 1
Robusto Smooth nutty cigar with a great full flavor. Oliva's V series hasn't failed me yet...for those of you who appreciate the lancero size the Oliva V lancero is my favorite Oliva cigar. 4 5 1
Robusto This medium-full flavored cigar is yummy delicious. I have experienced some tight draw sticks. But overall flavor is there. 3 5 1
Robusto I absolutely like this cigar it tastes great and pairs up with just about anything. Its a great everyday cigar I recommend this to everyone. I will be definitely getting more of these. 5 5 1
Robusto Great cigar for the $! The presentation is nice and it is a great tasting cigar. The boxes are a flat 10ct presentation. 4 5 1
Robusto It had a very good draw burned evenly throughout the whole stick held a nice ash nice tasting with a creamy finish. 4 5 1
Robusto Very smooth draw with layered flavoring of nutty and earthly tones. The finish is as smooth as the start with an even burn. 4 5 1
Robusto Anything from the Olivia series V is going to be a good choice in my book. Had a small issue with wrapper separation but the rest made up for it! 4 5 1
Robusto The Oliva Serie V Melanio Robusto is a robust fantastic smoke. The suttle note of chocolate and the hint of nuttiness fulfilled my taste buds. The clean light smoke also made for an enjoyable smoking atmosphere. I will partake in the Oliva again. 4 5 1
Robusto Long and double-tapered with box-pressed edges and perfect combustion. Full bodied and smooth big leather notes complement a range of coffee caramel and wood. 5 5 1
Robusto I am not really a big fan of Oliva but I really enjoyed this cigar; not too powerful medium body. This cigar was tasty and produced plenty of smoke. 4 5 1
Robusto If you enjoyed the Oliva V this is essentially very solar except for a few tweaks for what many believe to be for the better. It's not quite as full bodied as its predecessor but it makes up for that by being extremely smooth and a creamier comparative. Well constructed and beautiful to feel and look at its definitely one of olivas best offerings. An even medium/ medium full. Definitely worth trying at least once although you'll most likely come back for more 4 5 1
Robusto The Olivia Series V Melanio is a well constructed good full bodied Nicaragua cigar. It has hints of leather caramel unsweetened cocoa wood and coffee. It is full bodied and full flavored. It has an Ecuadorian sumatra leaf wrapper that is thick oily and seamless. It has an easy draw . 3 5 1
Robusto Ostentatious yet not overbearing. Notes of tannin hickory and pepper. Must be lit with fire source to enable smoking. 3 5 1
Robusto The wrapper felt a little delicate but it did not take away from this smoke. Complex smooth and wonderful burn. Can't go wrong here. 5 5 1
Robusto One of my favorite cigars. Nice and creamy with almost a taste of peanut butter and chocolate really a must try cigar. 4 5 1
Robusto Construction feels very solid despite having a really tight draw. The flavors of the first third were leathery and heavily peppered. The 2nd third improved greatly with a looser draw and introductions to some creamy flavors. The burn was solid to the end which had more hits of pepper leather and cream 3 5 1
Robusto Not sure if I got a bad stick but I was expecting more from this cigar. It was recommended to me by the local cigar shop so I purchased a stick. Seemed harsh at the beginning but did settle down. 3 5 1
Robusto Fantastic cigar with wonderful nutty and spice notes. Complex in its profile from beginning to end. I was very skeptical of this cigar but it really impressed me. 4 5 1
Robusto Great flavorful smoke but inconsistent with the wrapper burn. Would definitely smoke Olivia again but the ones I got may force me to look for another kind 4 5 1
Robusto This cigar has a lot of complexity but consistent quality throughout. Expect a thrilling experience at the finish as the flavor creates a big splash at the end. Full-bodied cigar with lots to offer. Don't miss it! 4 5 1
Robusto Very oily and tasty treat. There is good reason that a Melanio series V is the reigning cigar of the year. If you haven't tried one of these stop cheating yourself and get your hands on some ASAP! 5 5 1
Robusto Fantastic smoke almost impossible to get at my local shops it seems. But they are cheaper here anyways! 4 5 1
Robusto One of the most flavorful cigars I have ever smoked. It a at in my humidor for nearly a year which may have helped as well. Highly recommended. 5 5 1
Robusto Great smoke. The flavor is more on the coffee/mocha side. I didn't notice that pleasant change in flavor that I usually taste about halfway through most sticks which was a little disappointing but nothing terrible. For me the draw was very good (I used a punch cutter) and stayed that way throughout the length of the stick. There was a decent amount of smoke but not as much as something like a Liga Privada. This is actually one of my favorite cigars so far! 4 5 1
Robusto Good smoke nice spice and fresh tobacco flavor with an even burn and tight ash. Earthy and spicy. Very nice 4 5 1
Robusto Could nnot ask for any better....... grate smoke over all. What a grate draw on them. Packed well.. 4 5 1
Robusto Good flavor with slightly more pepper than I like but overall a good smoke. I prefer Serious O and G but this one is fully acceptable. 4 5 1
Robusto Great all around cigar. These are a must have in my humidor. I've smoked quite a few of these cigars and they never disappoint. Perfect for a summer evening in the back yard with a double scotch neat. 5 5 1
Robusto A truly beautiful smoke. Rich flavor good smoke. Oliva has always been a consistently good brand. I think I'll go smoke one right now! 4 5 1
Robusto This cigar was wonderful light taste to start beautiful transition as it goes on with steady taste leaving you satisfied and happy with your purchase! 4 5 1
Robusto Not bad. Pretty good. I very much enjoyed it. It was very very very good especially for two chips. If it had to smoke this for two chips I would. Just wish I'd get 3 for this solid review 4 5 1
Robusto Overall well done had nice coffee and some chocolate tones to it did get a bit bitter to the end of it 4 5 1
Robusto The flavors tend to be very different from cigar to cigar. The draw was decent. They get a bit of acidic when they are short. The don't hold up too well to my bite. 3 5 1
Robusto Rich tobaccos flavors with pepper and hints of creaminess coffee cocoa cedar high med/full profile with a great balance and complexity and slightly sweet chewy finish...great smoke from Oliva. 5 5 1
Robusto Very rich flavor medium bodied cigar that stays consistent throughout the burn. Earthy full flavor with hints of spice and tar. Even burn. 4 5 1

Robusto Nice cigar. Great draw..OK taste. Nice cigar for that time you just want to sit and not be bothered. 4 5 1
Robusto Real smooth cigar. Good draw and nice flavor throughout. Goes well with a good bourbon. Only ashed once so definitely has a steady burn to it 4 5 1
Robusto One of Olivia's great smokes... good price for this cigar with nice spice and flavor. I enjoy this cigar on the golf course and after a rough day at work. Great draw. 4 5 1
Robusto Great stick. Very nice pepper and spice up front then a nice mellow finish. I would love to try this cigar in a figurado but definitely one of my faves in robusto 5 5 1
Robusto I personally really enjoyed it. I found it to have a smokey flavor not to the level of a darker cigar such as a VSG or CAO Brazilia however still spicy and satisfying. I would compare to the taste/draw/finish of an A Fuente Best Seller / Short Story 3 5 1
Robusto It a great cigar! loads of flavor. I love to have this cigar with a cup of coffee. Flavors I got from this cigar were a pepper mix with a little of dark chocolate and the finish a cream. It had a little hay to it also. 3 5 1
Robusto A good smoke with full flavor was very pleased with its a good on to kick back and relax with at the end of the day aslo it goes great with a nice cold beer 3 5 1
Robusto Def enjoyable. Had a good taste and lasted quit some time. Liked it very much overall. Would recommend to someone that is new to the cigar game... Enjoy 4 5 1
Robusto Great stick top rated well constructed. This stick is packed full of flavor and spice. Full body stick. 4 5 1
Robusto The Oliva Melanos have a warm chocolatiness to is that is just amazingly tasty. I bought a box of these puppies for when I need to treat myself. 5 5 1
Robusto Great all around cigar! Very consistent and always a cigar to smoke when you're unsure of what else to smoke. 5 5 1
Robusto Although I prefer the torpedo when I have less time the robusto is great. Amazing wrapper. Great aroma! 5 5 1
Robusto Olive makes great cigars this one I'm not a big fan of it had it twice though maybe I had a bad one the first time but when I light the 2nd one same thing give it 4 out of 10 3 5 1
Robusto I really enjoyed the V over the G. I'm a fan of leather chocolate and coffee flavors. Everything about this cigar worked for me. A solid smoke each and every time. 4 5 1
Robusto A friends dad gave me one to try. It did not disappoint. Excellent cigar with plenty of flavor. Perfect for an evening on the deck with some meat on the grill. 4 5 1
Robusto These are great little smokes if you want a short smoke you can't go wrong here these taste great and are well made 5 5 1
Robusto Great smoke til the very end. Had great flavors nice even draw. I highly recommend it. I'm gonna smoke another one just because writing this made me crave one 5 5 1
Robusto It is very mellow and flavorful cigar. The wrapper is tight and does not unravel as you smoke the cigar. The flavor stays consistently mellow from the first draw to final draw. 4 5 1
Robusto Good cigar I was really happy with it I enjoyed it's flavor while sitting on the back porch sipping on some good whiskey watching the sun go down 3 5 1
Robusto There's a reason this was Cigar Aficionados #1 Cigar of 2014. The ranking is true as this smoke is superb. Amazing draw well constructed with a taste that's top notch. A good try for any enthusiast. 4 5 1
Robusto Enjoyable smoke! The stick I had (did not come from JR) was a little tight to draw at first but opened up quickly and was smooth sailing from there! 4 5 1
Robusto I wish I could bring myself to spend the money to make this my everyday any occasion stick. Consistent in taste construction and draw. Excelent long smoke over a single malt or good Irish whiskey. If you get a chance go ahead!!!! You'll have no regrets. If you share one with a friend make sure you really like him cause he'll want to hangout more after the experience. 5 5 1
Robusto This is a very good smoke but it is definitely not the number one cigar the year I personally prefer the EP Carrillo La Historya which is ranked the number to cigar of the year is much better. It's a very strong Cuban ask type of smoke but not much complexity in the flavors some pepperiness to it some woodsiness to it but overall that's just about it. Don't get me wrong this is not a bad cigar but don't believe all the reviews you read 3 5 1
Robusto Definitely one of the best sticks I've lit in its price range. A very smooth draw and an aroma that'll make your mouth water. 4 5 1
Robusto It is my 2nd go to cigar after Drew Estates under crown. I usually go for the melanio maduro torpedo. Leathery and just gets smoother. Usually gets a little hot near the end though. 4 5 1
Robusto This cigar is artfully constructed which produces a fantastic burn. It is smooth yet bold with flavors of coffee with just a hint of pepper. This cigar will surely please. 4 5 1
Robusto Just fantastic. Nice full bodied cigar. It was fantastic. A personal favorite. Can't get enough of them. 5 5 1
Robusto The robusto is honestly my favorite size. Oliva puts pride into this stick and it shows. The presentation is spot on pretty light aroma aromatic burn is even and no problem and I always end up smoking it down to where it burns my fingers ha ha ha. If you want a truly quality stick that will not break the pocketbook you cannot go wrong with the robust 5 5 1
Robusto Higher strength and good complexity from this box press. Earthy and floral tones are what I get here and this is certainly not a cigar that you want to smoke early in the day. Draw and construction are relatively good for a box press. Solid cigar. 4 5 1
Robusto Oliva is all you need to know. This particular cigar does not disappoint nice and full with a wrapper beyond compare. 5 5 1
Robusto One of my favorites. This is always a consistent smoke. Medium to Full flavor. Spice notes that carry through the entire smoke. I recommend this Cigar to the novice and the aficionado. From sitting on your porch or being out on the golf course this is an every day cigar for every man and woman. 5 5 1
Robusto This a strong smoke. I am not sure that it is worthy of cigar of the year but it was a decent smoke 4 5 1
Robusto I'm a huge fan of these smokes while a few of them had some consitancy issues from the box I purchased overall they were 9/10 smokes for me. Great rich flavor and complex tasty notes of nut cocoa and some light coffee. Great when paired with a creamy vanilla root beer. 4 5 1
Robusto All around great smoke!! It's a cant go wrong pick.. Whatever size is a win! After smoking this I know why it was chosen as a top 5 cigar of the year... From the pre light draw down to the last puff solid smoke through and through 4 5 1
Robusto Was a very good smoke as usual from this maker. Just the right balance of spiciness and mellow. Lots of smoke the wife actuall thought the garage was on fire. Would recommend. 4 5 1
Robusto Great cigar. Seriously one of the best I've had in awhile. Sweet nutty taste through most of the cigar with an amazing draw. I can see why it was named cigar of the year for 2014 5 5 1
Robusto I like it Its a good cigar with good flavor what can I say it better than most I've had. I like it with tequila or a good ale beer. This is a all around good cigar with good wood falover I like it after a long day of work or golf game. Can't say more about it only that I enjoy it. 3 5 1
Robusto Love this cigar well worthy of all the good reviews that it has received. Great draw excellent flavor to the nub never burnt hot or got bitter all the way to the nub definitely not a yard gar take your time enjoy with a glass of blanton's if you can get it 5 5 1
Robusto One of the best cigars out there. This cigar goes great with a smooth scotch. I look forward to summer evenings where I can sit back outside and enjoy one of these fine smokes. 5 5 1
Robusto A nice medium body smoke with hints of floral bits and a lot of earth and coffee. The was little change as the stick progressed but averaged out as a good but forgettable smoke. I hope that with some age on the ones remaining in my humidor that it will advance to something more worthy of the reputation as #1 of 2015. 3 5 1
Robusto Amazing stick that I can't recommend enough. Perfect draw very rich flavors smooth and creamy with a little pepper zing a must try! 4 5 1
Robusto Great smoke and wonderfully rolled. Very smooth and tasteful. The draw was immaculate and one of the better cigars I have had. Definitely recommend it and will try again. 3 5 1
Robusto I'm starting to ejoy this brand. Fit this for Christmas and really enjoyed. Have bought since then 4 5 1
Robusto Great smoke can be a little tuff on a new smoker. Good draw taste starts off smooth but can get strong words the end. 3 5 1
Robusto I am a bit of an Oliva fanboy so I finally broke the bank and got a handful of these bad boys at my local B&M. The Melanio take the superb Serie V to the next level and this has become my new celebratory cigar. I had read that the Melanio contained a hint of caramel flavor which I did notice though it was subtle. 5 5 1
Robusto Full body with big bold flavors of earth and spice. Super smooth pleasant mouth feel. Big strength kick though. 4 5 1
Robusto I was surprised with the thick ash the aroma and the flavor for the price I recommend this cigar for anyone who wants a good cigar or stock up their humidor 4 5 1
Robusto Very good cigar with a great draw and a nice after taste.Enjoyable smoke with a very consistent burn cigar after cigar.I have smoked everything from Cohiba Cuban siglos series to opus x and this cigar compares with the top level of cigars.It was good out of the box with basically no humidor time but got better(yes I said better) after setting in my 70% humidity humidor for few weeks.Basically if you haven't tried some of these you are doing your taste buds a disservice.Enjoy ladies and gentlemen 4 5 1
Robusto This cigar is a little mild. The construction held together very well. But it's consistency was misleading. 3 5 1
Robusto Not a fan of Oliva in general but you can't dent their quality.But this stick this stick is different a cut above. I've smoked 3 so far and all 3 have been identical in all forms a truly enjoyable a pleasant smoke. Expertly mixes strength with flavor and smoothness I can't wait to smoke another. 4 5 1
Robusto I really enjoyed this cigar. Full flavored and full bodied. Lots of deep rich flavor a along with a nice leathery undertone. the burn was razor sharp and the ash held perfectly. 5 5 1
Robusto Fairly nice cigar. The taste was very earthy with some nutmeg flavored in the back of it. The draw was a bit too smooth for my tastes I like alittle resistance. Overall pretty good 4 5 1
Robusto This is a fabulous breakfast cigar I've been smoking cigars in the morning for years and this is my new go to breakfast smoke 5 5 1
Robusto This particular Oliva is definitely in my top 15 cigars. Me being a Oliva fan anyway maybe I'm just a Homer. But the burn is even and smooth from first toast to final draw. Hints of sweetness on the back end and smooth all the way through on every pull. I'm my opinion this is a great cigar for beginners to start with. Easy to distinct flavors on the palette and not over powering to turn someone off. Great cigar. Highly recommend this particular Oliva. 4 5 1
Robusto Other than the Oliva V Lancero the Meliano is the best in the line. I have never had any construction issues and they are consistent from box to box 5 5 1
Robusto Smooth as glass! Coffee notes and dark chocolate. Some white pepper and a slight sweetness on the long finish! Great smoke !! 5 5 1
Robusto This cigar is a very smooth delicious smoke it has good flavor and maintains it's great consistency along with a great creamy aroma. This cigar also has a very good draw and doesn't disappoint. I definitely recommend all smokers aficionados and novices to enjoy this smoke. 5 5 1

Robusto Nice smoke for relaxing. Mine had a decent draw and excellent taste throughout. Had mine with a beer and it worked just fine taste-wise. 4 5 1
Robusto This cigar actually should've been cigar of the year every year since it came out! Great draw even burn and a taste all its own. You'll never feel let down or cheated with a melanio in any size. 5 5 1
Robusto Really good smoke from start to finish burned evenly paired well with maple finished Crown Royal. Smooth and flavorful easy on the pocket! (Think that I paid about $9-12 bucks per stick) 4 5 1
Robusto Many of the Oliva cigars are in my personal favorites. These pack a good punch but are very smooth and taste beautiful. Well crafted and wonderfully made. The Serie V are among the even better if the Oliva Serie lines. 5 5 1
Robusto Great burn and smoke output. Plenty of solid baking spice flavors with roasted pecans and medium coffee in there too. Not a nicotine bomb but solid flavor. 4 5 1
Robusto Flavors include Cocoa leather black pepper and a sweet creaminess to round it off. Great smoke all around and beautiful to boot. 4 5 1
Robusto A lot of pepper at the beginning but not overbearing. Strong but smooth all the way through with great smoke consistency and flavor. I've smoked several now and they've all burned exceptionally. 4 5 1
Robusto Can't miss this oliva. This oliva won't disappoint like other olivas. This milano is smoother with flavor so good this is my new favorite stick. This is definitely a solid stick for everyday smoke 5 5 1
Robusto I got this in a trade having heard much about it and I wasn't disappointed. A little on the medium side it provided a quick(er) satisfying smoke that I would recommend to friends which is saying something. 4 5 1

Robusto Excellent light smoke with decent flavor profile and great drawnbringing some diversity to the Olivia V series. 3 5 1
Robusto Olivia series v is a cigar that has the strength and construction worthy of the top 25 honors it has received. A true gem that burns perfectly and feels great in the hand 3 5 1
Robusto The Oliver's is a sensational cigar with notes of delicious sweet Apple like and all things sublime. What More than that I just love it it's so great 3 5 1
Robusto A very nice smoke with a lot of flavor through without a bitter ending. Great with a single malt in the evening 4 5 1
Robusto Tastes like burnt coffee. Not in a good way. Like the crap starbucks calls coffee. I would not at all recomend. 3 5 1
Robusto This is my new favorite. Had my first one at an Oliva event. Good draw great overall flavor. Tiny bit shaky on the construction with the first. The rest I've had have been good. 4 5 1
Robusto An excellent medium bodied cigar. Brings a lot of flavor throughout the smoke. Great wIth a single malt. 4 5 1
Robusto A consistent smoke full of flavor. Got one from a friend then ordered up a five pack. Full bodied with excellent construction. Time to buy more. Excellent draw with consistent burn. 4 5 1
Robusto An awesome smoke. A creamy and flavorful cigar that has a spicy and woodsy flavor. A little expensive and very hard to find now so not an everyday smoke. 5 5 1
Robusto Smoke was mild and inviting. Dint have a developed enough pallet to pull specific tastes but I felt it was a solid cigar 3 5 1
Robusto A nice medium flavor with a consistent taste throughout. A nice smoke with a good single malt. The draw was solid and was well put together. 4 5 1
Robusto This is one of the best cigars I have smoked. The construction is above par. Very sharp razor like burn throughout the entire stick. Very complex flavors from coffee to a mild pepper. Very creamy dense smoke. Always keep a few in my humidor! ! Highly recommend this stick! 4 5 1
Robusto One the best cigars out there the great flavor that is not overpowering and burns great with great construction 5 5 1
Robusto Definitely an enjoyable smoke. Great flavor good draw and an even burn. Price wasn't too bad but probably not a daily smoke. As much as i enjoyed it it wasn't something that really blew me a away. I would recommend trying it to anyone.I will get it again at some point. 3 5 1
Robusto Great smoke on the medium/full body side of things. Burn was even and produces clouds of thick creamy smoke. Mild spice and medium strength. Love this in a torpedo. 4 5 1
Robusto The Oliva Melanio is a fantastic smoke that is more refined than its V series counterparts. It has a lot of sweet tobacco flavors a ton of creaminess a silky smooth smoke texture and an underlying bit of nuttiness. 4 5 1
Robusto Earns its take hints of chocolate and pockets of spice. Pepper made an appearance about 15 minutes into the cigar. Medium-full. 3 5 1
Robusto Wifey got me a couple from a local store. Good smooth smoke with an even burn and easy draw. 4 5 1
Robusto Excellent wrapper draw and flavor profile. On the fuller side of what I like well it's just full bodied all the way around. Olivia doesn't produce many bad sticks. 4 5 1
Robusto It was an overall decent stick. Had some issues with draw over 5 sticks but nothing too horrible. 4 of the 5 had burn issues needing touch ups. It was an enjoyable smoke and I'd probably buy again. 4 5 1
Robusto The Serie V is a power house with a hint of cedar and coffee. Like most Nicaraguans it will be full flavored and full bodied. Lancero is the best vitola for this stick most sticks actually. 4 5 1
Robusto Very enjoyable medium bodied smoke. Spicey with a bitter cocoa through the finish but not so much that it would scare one away. Good smoke 4 5 1
Robusto Very nice cigar good smooth draw great smoke output. Solid cigar not a bad price. First third was a little slow to get flavors but opened up nicely the second and third. 4 5 1
Robusto I found this stick to be a great smoke. It started off with a strong pepper flavor which transitioned into some bitter chocolate and ended with slight coffee notes. 4 5 1
Robusto Rich and creamy smoke. Very consistent flavor throughout the cigar. Lives up to the rest of the oliva name. Wouldn't hesitate to buy again 4 5 1
Robusto I really liked the Oliva Serie V. Nice draw confident great flavor and great price on JR as well. Oliva always makes quality smokes. 4 5 1
Robusto Delicious strong and consistent smoke! These lead with a leathery sweetness and major strength. This leads to intense white pepper smoke and the signature Nicaraguan flavor. 4 5 1
Robusto Really great smoke. Won cigar of the year this year. Delicious medium to full body With some nice hints of cedar and spice 4 5 1
Robusto Great flavor and experience over all. I had some construction issues but not so bad to not smoke again. 4 5 1
Robusto I have been buying these cigars for a long time, but I can tell you that the quality has gone down. They look great, but they’re rolled too tight with either a tight draw or no draw at all. I gave them 2 stars for old times sake. 2 5 1
Robusto I have to admit, when these cigars are on sale I am the first to order. It truly is a slow burning cigar with consistency bar none. I am also amaze that through the years it still remains as good as the first time I tried them. All the taste comes through including the leather and coffee that everyone talks about so spending a few bucks more for a better cigar is worth the price. 5 5 1
Robusto I always have a box of these in my humidor...I am a big Oliva fan and love the whole line but these bad boys are the elite of the crop....With their spectacular flavors, killer draw and burn and delicious leathery and sweet caramel undertones this is my favorite of all of the Oliva line. I high;y recommend 5 5 1
Robusto I’ve smoked a thousand of these from local shops, and most of the time they are great. Every box I order from J and R has been terrible. The draw, taste, burn and texture all always different and very poor. I don’t know what they do to these boxes, but every smoke is compromised. 1 5 1
Robusto Excellent cigar - exceeds all catagories 5 5 1
Robusto This is my “go to” special cigar! I end the day with a Makers Mark bourbon on the rocks with this cigar. It is stronger than my normal multi stick cigars per day. Slightly more expensive but worth every penny. 5 5 1
Robusto Great Smoke 5 5 1
Robusto First order from JRs was a success. 5 5 1
Robusto I guess these are fairly highly regarded sticks. I bought a fiver to try and I don't get the hype. They're not terrible- but they're not particularly smooth, or complex. All five started decently creamy and matured into burnt coffee by the halfway point. Two of the five had significant construction problems. I wouldn't say "don't buy them." We all like different things, but they're not for me. 2 5 1
Robusto I have been smoking cigars for 45 years. My collection includes Arturo Fuente, Rocky Patel, Cohiba, Macanudo, Alex Bradley and more. The Oliva Milillano is hands down my favorite. Easy draw, even burn, strong yet mild, and a multitude of flavors that come through. I swear I can taste the soil that they were grown in. I can smoke them down until it burns my fingers. 5 5 1
Robusto This is my go to cigar I love the smoothness, coffee, toasty nut and coco taste. The smoke is thick and rich. This has to be one of the most consistent cigars on the market. You will love this cigar. 5 5 1
Robusto Melanio has earned a place on my favorites list! Caught up with ol'' time favorites like Opus X and Don Carlos. 5 5 1
Robusto Tasty and well constructed 4 5 1
Robusto Awesome Smoke!!! 5 5 1
Robusto Strong coffee notes. Little peppery. Overall great cigar. Even slow burn. Smooth effortless draw from the beginning 5 5 1
Robusto Great cigar 5 5 1
Robusto One of my all time faves--consistency always. 5 5 1
Robusto Got lost in the mail, arrived very late. All cigars were very dry. Boveda pack included in box was completely worn out. 1 5 1
Robusto Top 5 All Time smoke!!! 5 5 1
Robusto Always keep a box in my humidor! 5 5 1
Robusto One of my favorite cigars ! Great flavor and consistent cigar. Nice aroma and construction is great! Great cigar with a bourbon or brandy ! 5 5 1
Robusto This is my special cigar. Strength is at my preference. Construction, burn and a smooth full body cigar. 5 5 1
Robusto I thought the Liga Privada 9 was the beat I’ve had buy this Oliva Melanio has just moved into the top spot. Perfect in every criteria a cigar can be judged on. Perfect 10! 5 5 1
Robusto These are full-bodied and perfectly smooth. I kept wanting to call it the "Melania" because it's so beautiful. 5 5 1
Robusto I’ve been smoking on and off fir 25 years and when the pandemic hit I ordered several cigars and I will definitely be ordering this brand again. 5 5 1
Robusto Cigar always burns perfect, not overwhelming every one will appreciate all the malanio v line. If you're looking for value oliva is the way to go. 5 5 1
Robusto I love these cigars. A friend of mine is a huge oliva fan so I waited for a good deal to pop up so that I could try them. I got a great deal on a box of these w a free sampler box also. Now I’m a huge oliva fan. Try them if u haven’t. You’ll b happy u did. Cigars all arrived fresh n on time 5 5 1
Robusto This is one on my favs. Love the flavors and it draws perfectly. Can’t ask for too much more. 5 5 1
Robusto I got one of these cigars at a local shop and liked it so much I came to JR Cigar and ordered a box. Such a GREAT cigar. I now have 3 boxes of these. 5 5 1
Robusto This is a very smooth & full of flavor cigar! I put it in my top 5 cigars. I will be purchasing more of these. 5 5 1
Robusto These are one of my very favorite cigars! The build quality is second to none, the flavor is awesome! I can sit there and cold draw from this cigar for quite a while before I even light it! The flavor in this is almost like baked goods. 5 5 1
Robusto Such a good flavor and smoke. My Fiance even loves them! 5 5 1
Robusto One of my top 5 Cigars including Cubans. Love the Oliva brand and purchase many of their Cigars. This Robusto however is my favorite of their complete line. Have purchased them several times and every box has been consistency great. 5 5 1
Robusto Oliva consistently puts our a great stick every year. 5 5 1
Robusto Great smoke. 5 5 1
Robusto An excellent cigar with perfect draw, burn and construction. It is unquestionably full-bodied but the flavors are perfectly balanced and can be appreciated by rookies and old pros alike. I can’t sing the praises of this scar enough. 5 5 1
Robusto Buy it you will love it. Period. 5 5 1
Robusto Great smoke great draw and Flavor ! Love the Sumatra wrapper 5 5 1
Robusto Excellent cigar - flavor & construction. JR is my go to cigar company. I like there cigar reviews, selection and service. 5 5 1
Robusto Love the cigar from the first light. There was a light pepper and woodiness in the first third then major transition to dark coffee and nuttiness in the second then down to the nub it got more of a sweet cream coffee. Love the transitions and flavor/construction/price were all on point! 5 5 1
Robusto I keep these for that special occasion. It is a smoke that burns well tastes good and highlights any accomplishment Even on those days when you just want something special 5 5 1
Robusto Nice flavor, even burn, a quality smoke One of my favorites. If a little less expensive it would be my regular smoke 5 5 1
Robusto I'll put this cigar up against the best cigars anywhere! 5 5 1
Robusto One fantastic cigar. I enjoy them in the evening while looking at the stars. This is a great smoke. 5 5 1
Robusto This cigar is consistent the whole way through ! No harshness, no bitterness and no after taste ! This is it … an absolute great smoke for whenever and wherever ! You will not be disappointed ! 5 5 1
Robusto In my opinion this is as close as you get to Padron quality for a buck. This cigar was great, but still below Padron 5 5 1
Robusto Excellent stick - cocoa flavors for an hour? sign me up... 5 5 1
Robusto I've become a smoker of at least 2 cigars a day, but I still want decent quality. The Serie V in all it's incarnations (natural, maduro, melanio, etc) fits the bill. Probably one of the best flavors in a cigar that I've had. 5 5 1
Robusto I ordered these on sale cause JR knows what’s up. Got the 8pk sampler and I’m good to go! Excellent packaging and shipping and most importantly, excellent smoking. I love the Oliva V Melanios, and JR knows how to keep my humidor stocked! 5 5 1
Robusto Can’t complain about this one. Nice earthy leather notes. 4 5 1
Robusto My favorite cigar Will always have in my humidor 5 5 1
Robusto This cigar has great flavor. The burn if perfect. I would recommend this cigar to anybody. I have bought three boxes in the past few months and smoke at least 1 or 2 a week. 5 5 1
Robusto Delicious cigar with loads of flavor. Medium to full in strength and haven’t had a bad one yet. 5 5 1
Robusto When JR runs a special on these I order some whether my humidor is full or not! I don’t know how there can be so much difference in these than the Olivia V, but the regular V to me is very harsh and don’t deserve to be in the same family as the Melanio! Keep throwing us a bone every now and then guy’s, I Will certainly take the bait!! 5 5 1
Robusto Great construction. Very consistant constuction, draw and flavor. Love this cigar only complaint is that I wish they were less expensive but I buy them every chance I can. I would recommend this cigar to anyone. 5 5 1
Robusto The earthy smell of the wrap and it’s soft spongy feel was my first pleasantry. After I v-snipped the end and tasted the tip, I knew this was going to be a fine smoke. First draw was excellent, creamy and mild all the way to the last quarter. No pepper but the creamy texture never stopped. This burger has become my favorite after at least twenty different types and wraps. Sadly, I only got a five pack, so I’ll be smoking this sparingly. The longer it sits in my humidor, the creamier it got. Looking forward to my second one in two weeks. This is going to be a regular purchase for me .. 5 5 1
Robusto Great construction, draw and flavor. Smokes for about an hour and got it all the way to the nub. 5 5 1
Robusto Very pleased with the quality of the cigars. 5 5 1
Robusto One of my fav go-to cigars. Well-constructed, flavorful, consistent burn, and just the right amount of punch. Above all for me, consistent from cigar to cigar and from box to box. I have never been disappointed by an Oliva Serie V Melanio Robusto. Always a treat! 5 5 1
Robusto Love these cigars. Consistent burn time of 1 hr and ash length of 1 in. Nutty black pepper full bodied taste. 5 5 1
Robusto The Olivia V Melanio is a great cigar the construction, burn and taste is always quality the V series is one of my Olivia favs. 5 5 1
Robusto Very smooth. Worth the price. 5 5 1
Robusto One of the best. Draw is flawless and the cigar is made to perfection. The notes change pleasantly on the palate over the course of the smoke. Overall, I’d recommend these. 5 5 1
Robusto Smooth full body excellent cigar 4 5 1
Robusto This cigar is always exceptional. Great flavor, great construction, great draw, every time. I’ve smoked boxes and boxes of these. The perfect 1 hour smoke. 5 5 1
Robusto Oliva cigars never disappoint, but the series V and V Melano are in a class by themselves. The draw, construction, and flavor are second to none, including brands that are considered world class. From the pre-draw to the finish this cigar satisfies the soul. 5 5 1
Robusto One of my favorites. Burns smooth and even. Expertly made. I prefer robusto or toro size sticks. The Oliva never disappoints. 5 5 1
Robusto This is my favorite cigar ever. Just started smoking constantly about 1 1/2 years ago. Tried several different ones and always gone back to these 96 out of 100 rated Oliva’s. I have purchased quite a few them and now I’m overstocked and need a bigger humidor. Highly recommended. Enjoy….., 5 5 1
Robusto Wow 4 5 1
Robusto A good cigar 3 5 1

Robusto Great service every time 5 5 1
Robusto My favorite cigar, full and mellow. 5 5 1
Robusto This is quickly becoming one of my go to cigars. CONSISTENT quality. I've yet to smoke one where the build quality was shit. They are flavorful and have moved into my top 5 favs 5 5 1
Robusto Great cigar. One of my favorites. Great draw and construction. Always consistent. Have never been disappointed. 5 5 1
Robusto Good coffee and unsweetened chocolatey flavor with some kick to it. 4 5 1
Robusto I got these beauties in a package deal from JR at a price that couldn't be beat. Everything about this stick is first class. The draw was perfect, smoke production, check, taste check++, slow burn, check. The flavors that I got could be best described as smoking the finest Italian leather that's been dipped in the best tasting dark chocolate and sprinkled with exotic nuts. The flavor and strength never changed throughout my 2 hr experience. The first long ash fell off at 3 inches (I was measuring) and I never ashed again...truly remarkable construction. Until this smoke, the Masterblends 3 was my favorite, but that is now down to #2. I'm beginning to think that Oliva, overall, is probably the best cigar company out there that is affordable to mere mortals. I smoked a River Oaks Royal that was a gift (about $30 per) and this Olly is the clear winner of the two. Try these in an auction or package. I think that you'll be back for more. 5 5 1
Robusto This is a fine cigar, top to bottom and inside and out. Trust the reviews. Get a box and a enjoy a good smoke. 5 5 1
Robusto Some of the best cigars out there for the money. Great product. Chad W 5 5 1
Robusto This cigar has it all! Great construction, lots of flavor that only gets better as you smoke. Burn is slow and even with a nice tight ash. About an hour and fifteen minutes of great smoking! Good earthy coffee and cream flavors with a spicy nose tickle on the retrohale. The draw is first rate, I was enjoying huge plumes of smoke and got up to refill my coffee and was walking around like Frankenstein for a few minutes, but this cigar is not overpowering, I just got carried away with the effortless draw. I'm on my second box and that has not happened again. Every cigar has been as good as the first! 5 5 1
Robusto My favorite Oliva . Rich and peppery on the palate with a caramel/ molasses smoke . Fantastic! 5 5 1
Robusto This cigar is a true master piece of enjoyment. Is a definitely a cigar that needs a special place in the humidor. Ever since I smoked it first, I just kept having it around. High quality leaves of tobacco, true craftsmanship from Oliva. 5 5 1
Robusto Tastes as good as it looks 5 5 1
Robusto Ever since this was rated cigar of the year back in 2014, I think, I have enjoyed smoking this cigar. The draw is good and it generates a lot of smoke which I like. The Sumatra wrapper gives it a bold but smooth flavor and strength. 5 5 1
Robusto Perfect balance…great length of smoking..excellent aroma 5 5 1
Robusto Great stick, one of my favorite. Love it. 5 5 1
Robusto Like butter! These things are so rich and flavorful. Good construction and draw. Oliva never disappoints! 5 5 1
Robusto Its a great cigar with a rotation that is the best and a great balance with a even better taste and aroma this is my favorite cigar! 5 5 1
Robusto Nice consistent draw and always great construction and great flavor. This is a strong cigar if you like that 5 5 1
Robusto Exactly as described - slow burning & very flavorful. Excellent square-pressed construction, draw, burn, & consistency; with a firm & tight, white ash. The medium/dark brown, Ecuadoran Sumatra wrapper has an emery-like toothiness and is expertly finished. Significant aging @ 65% RH / 69° F has resulted in a truly spectacular cigar. 5 5 1
Robusto Great smoke when you can get them under $8 a stick. Caramel and spice, mixed with wood and cream, good times. 5 5 1
Robusto Excellent cigar 5 5 1
Robusto Very good smoke, enjoyable well made cigar 5 5 1

Robusto Great cigar. Smooth with a little sweetness. I always keep backups in my humidor. 5 5 1
Robusto In my short cigar journey, this is my go-to cigar to share with friends & weekend smoke. It is full flavor, medium strength and well respected cigar in the community. A must buy! 4 5 1
Robusto The Serie V Melanio has always been one of my top go to cigars. Flavor has always been consistent for me, just tons of flavor. The only real complaint that I have, is that sometimes the construction isn't consistent. My palate would consider this cigar more of a medium-full rather than a full. 5 5 1
Robusto n/a 5 5 1
Robusto Not what I expected in flavor too woody, but overall a good cigar. 4 5 1
Robusto Wonderful smoke, loads of creamy caramel. Easy draw with clouds of smoke. Only drawback is too short if a smoke, I could have spent several hours on this one. 5 5 1
Robusto Flavors , construction, consistency all there 5 5 1
Robusto Got this in a sampler... and what a pleasant surprise. Full of flavor, but not too heavy. Enjoyed every bit, and will be buying more. 5 5 1

Robusto The best bang for the buck I have found. 5 5 1
Robusto Great cigar 5 5 1
Robusto I got my first one of these in a sampler pack and enjoyed it enough to buy a box of 10 to have on hand. Several boxes later, this has become my new favorite “go to” cigar for all occasions. Really enjoy the flavor and consistency in these. 5 5 1
Robusto I purchased these cigars with a promotion they never sent me my free cigars and have back to back promotions said they ran out and won't be sending me my free promotion cause they ran out!even though they have another free cigars in its place. If you see free cigars and they run out they won't send you nothing. If that's a incentive to buy don't. 1 5 1
Robusto Excellent cigar 5 5 1
Robusto In the movie Spaceballs, when Lord Helmet says “smoke them if you got ‘em”, this is what he was talking about. I love sharing my cigars with friends, but sorry these are off-limits. 5 5 1
Robusto Smoothest smoke around. Just when I wanna grab a cheaper cigar for the hell of it I go hell naw and I grab this stick. Flavors are amazing! 10/10 5 5 1
Robusto It's rolled a little fluffy, other than that has good consistency and flavor... 5 5 1
Robusto Great CigarGrea coga G 5 5 1
Robusto Just an overall great flavor and very smooth. Always well made. Nice billowy smoke. Not wrapped as tightly or as long a smoke as others its size but consistently from batch to batch, year to year an enjoyable smoke from start to finish. 5 5 1
Robusto One of my oo 5 5 1
Robusto decent smoke very good flavor 5 5 1
Robusto Consistent as they come. Smooth smoke. Great flavor. 5 5 1
Robusto I have been smoking Oliva cigars for years. The Series V Melanio is by far my favorite cigar from Oliva, or any other brand for that matter. The value for the price is exceptional. The construction, draw and flavor are near perfect. I have enjoyed every cigar, with every box I have purchased. 5 5 1
Robusto These are shaped nicely, have a nice easy draw, and taste delicious. These are my new favorites. 5 5 1
