In 1886, Melanio Oliva planted his first tobacco crop. In the early 1920s, Facundo Oliva, Melanio’s son, took over the tobacco farm. 

Today, the Oliva cigars lineup has gained a lot of high ratings from consumers and industry professionals. The brand even won the Cigar of the Year in 2014 by the Cigar Aficionado Magazine with their Oliva Serie V Melanio Figurado Cigar.
