2014年雪茄排名第1位奥利瓦V系列米拉尼奥双尖鱼

第一眼看到这支犀利外观的雪茄，其气场就告诉你这不是普通的雪茄，尖头尖尾的橄榄体造型，这就是奥利瓦V系列米拉尼奥鱼雷(Melanio Figurado)。尼加拉瓜烟代表奥利瓦雪茄公司的成就顶峰。奥利瓦雪茄的故事开始于1800年代末,当时米拉尼奥.奥利瓦开始在古巴雪茄烟草的事业。他的孙子，即继承人吉尔伯托·奥利瓦先生随着家族的步伐进入了雪茄领域，开始了之后的雪茄事业。

 

就像很多雪茄的传奇故事一样,吉尔伯托·奥利瓦面临着一条艰难的道路（古巴在1960年代所有的古老的雪茄品牌都面临被国有化的大冲击）。他于1964年离开了他的祖国古巴,最终开始为洪都拉斯的Plasencia雪茄家族服务。时过境迁至1995年,他和他的儿子吉尔伯托在Plasencia的工厂创建了一个雪茄品牌，命名为吉尔伯托·奥利瓦雪茄。一年后,他们打算开一家自己的工厂,并把他们的品牌名称缩短为奥利瓦。

在那些日子里奥利瓦雪茄业务刚刚起步，艰难挣扎在起跑线上。面对现金储备减少而削减成本，这时候尼加拉瓜烟草雪茄123翻译的年代来临了，强劲的尼加拉瓜烟草横扫市场，吉尔伯托开始转向尼加拉瓜烟草,这股风潮改变了奥利瓦雪茄在尼加拉瓜的口感和风味。

尼加拉瓜烟草帮助奥利瓦生存下来，奥利瓦V系列在2006年首次亮相，迅速引起雪茄鉴赏家们的注意:橄榄体造型，由一小群熟练的雪茄卷制大师操刀而混合出复杂的风格,奥利瓦V是一炮走红。为了对历史表示敬意，纪念这个为家族付出专注精神而终止雪茄烟草的人，2012年奥利瓦推出了橄榄体Melanio的版本。其核心特点是苏门答腊种子种植在厄瓜多尔生长出的包叶的奇妙口味。
奥利瓦V系列Melanio Figurado拥有丰富而浓郁的皮革口味，又被一系列的咖啡、焦糖和松木口感而调和，这是一款经典的雪茄。

奥利瓦的雪茄已经出现在我们的前25位列表连续9次！这是该公司首次被评为今年的年度雪茄第一名。

One look at the sharply pressed corners and carefully curved head and foot of the Oliva Serie V Melanio Figurado tells you this is no ordinary cigar. The Nicaraguan smoke represents the pinnacle of achievement for Oliva Cigar Co. The Oliva Cigar story began in the late 1800s, when Melanio Oliva started growing cigar tobacco in Cuba. His heirs carried on the family tradition in the fields, but it was his grandson Gilberto Oliva Sr. who began making cigars.

 

As with so many cigar stories, Gilberto Oliva Sr. faced a difficult road. He left his native Cuba in 1964, and eventually started working for the Plasencia family in Honduras. In 1995 he and his son Gilberto Jr. created a cigar within Plasencia’s factory called Gilberto Oliva. A year later, they set out to open a factory of their own, and shortened their brand name to Oliva.

Business was tough in those days, and Oliva struggled. Faced with dwindling reserves of cash, in a cost-cutting move they turned to Gilberto Sr.’s robust stocks of Nicaraguan tobacco, which changed the flavor profile of Oliva cigars at a time when the interest in Nicaraguan flavor was increasing.

 

Nicaraguan tobacco helped Oliva survive. The cigar that brought it to the attention of connoisseurs debuted in 2006: Oliva Serie V. Made by a small group of rollers and blended for strength and style, the Serie V line was an immediate hit. In 2012, to pay tribute to the first man in the family to grow cigar tobacco, Oliva added the Melanio version, which is distinguished from the original by its Sumatra-seed wrapper grown in Ecuador. The Oliva Serie V Melanio Figurado has rich, big notes of leather framed by a range of coffee, caramel and woody intonations. It’s a classic smoke.

Oliva’s cigars have appeared on our Top 25 list nine times in a row. This is the first time the company has been named Cigar of the Year.
