Description

The Melanio Maduro Torpedo swaps the line’s natural wrapper for a darker Mexican San Andrés leaf, finished with a tapered head. The Oliva Serie V Melanio Maduro Torpedo sets that maduro wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler, box-pressed at full strength.

The flavor usually runs to dark chocolate, cedar, baking spice, and black pepper, sweeter than the natural Melanio. It placed No. 6 in Cigar Aficionado’s Top 25 Cigars of 2024. The 6 1/2 by 52 torpedo tapers to a point that focuses the draw early.

The full body suits later in the day or after a meal, and the pointed cap takes a straight or V cut. It is sold as singles or boxes of 10, so a single is an easy way in. A darker, fuller turn on the Melanio blend.

Pairs well with bourbon, espresso, or stout.
