Privada Storytelling
The Oliva 20-Cigar Sampler is a celebration of one of Nicaragua’s greatest cigar families. For decades, the Oliva name has been synonymous with consistency, flavor, and craftsmanship — a reputation that has made their cigars staples in humidors worldwide.
This sampler brings together 20 cigars spanning Oliva’s most beloved lines, including Serie O, Serie G, Serie V, Serie V Melanio, and Connecticut Reserve. Each cigar tells a different story: the strength of Nicaraguan Habano, the refinement of a silky Connecticut Shade, the complexity of the Melanio, or the iconic boldness of the Serie V. Twenty cigars, twenty reasons why Oliva remains one of the most trusted and respected names in premium cigars.
