The Oliva V Melanio was the #8 cigar of 2016 according to Cigar Aficionado. I agree that this stick should make the top 25 ranking. Smooth draw with toasted notes in the beginning that mellow out to notes of subtle leather and a little bit of pepper. Second half of the cigar has developing notes of coffee and caramel, very smooth and enjoyable… slow down and enjoy this classic.
