Oliva Serie V Melanio Nub 460 Cigar
A Limited Edition Masterpiece from Oliva’s Award-Winning Melanio Series
The Oliva Serie V Melanio Nub 460 is a rare gem and a must-have for aficionados seeking a bold, concentrated smoking experience. Originally released in a limited run in early 2021 and unavailable in the U.S., this exclusive Nub vitola is now offered by select retailers, giving cigar lovers access to one of Oliva’s most coveted releases.
Handcrafted in Nicaragua, the Melanio Nub features a rich blend of aged Nicaraguan filler and binder tobaccos sourced directly from the Oliva family’s renowned farms in Condega and Estelí. It’s wrapped in a dark Colorado Sumatra leaf grown in Ecuador’s volcanic soil, providing a unique, earthy complexity that distinguishes this cigar from other Melanio editions.
Measuring a stout 4" x 60, the Nub format delivers the same refined complexity of the original Melanio—rated 95 and named Cigar of the Year by Cigar Aficionado—but with intensified flavor and richness due to its short, wide profile. Each box of 10 comes wrapped in the signature gold and brown Serie V Melanio bands, symbolizing Oliva’s commitment to quality and tradition.
On the palate, expect a flawless draw that produces thick, blue-hued smoke clouds. The flavor journey begins with a sharp burst of spicy Nicaraguan pepper, evolving into a symphony of baker’s spices, robust tobacco, and decadent notes of sweet chocolate. Hints of espresso and brown sugar linger on the finish, delivering a perfectly balanced, complex experience.
Starting at a heavy medium-full body, the Melanio Nub builds gradually to a full-bodied crescendo that satisfies even the most discerning smokers. Strong yet elegant, this cigar is a connoisseur’s dream—a limited edition blend that stands as a testament to Oliva’s expert craftsmanship and bold flavor mastery.
Like its Melanio counterparts, Serie V Melanio Nub is aimed at only the most experienced cigar connoisseurs. The dizzying complexity and brute strength of this blend could certainly overwhelm anyone with insufficient experience. As far as pairings go, Melanio Nub can be quite versatile. It pairs well with coffee, making it a luxurious yet intense way to start off the day, and it also makes a great accompaniment to your favorite scotch, cognac, or dark beer. It goes without saying that fans of the original Melanio series should give this cigar a try, along with fans of the fuller-bodied Nub cigars such as Nub Habano or Nub Dub. As previously stated, Melanio Nub is highly limited, so get it while you can and enjoy the rich taste of one of Oliva's finest blends to date.
