Theme Week 19 = Oliva
After a long 'theme' week (about 10 days) for Rocky Patel, I began another long 'theme' for Oliva. Thus between RP and Oliva, these two 'themes' are taking about 3 weeks total.

My selection of Oliva products includes a wide variety of various labeled cigars. (NOTE: I am not including any cigars rolled by Oliva for someone else's labels in this 'theme' week.)

My favorite among the Oliva-branded products are the various iterations of the Serie V. I have ensured for more than 15 years that my humidor contains a good number of Serie V products for occasional enjoyment, and that practice will continue long into the future.

As I noted in my previous 'theme' week, while some of my Oliva cigars are less than 5 years old, the majority of my Serie V cigars and all of my Nubs, are more than 10 to 15 years old, and should make this 'theme' week quite enjoyable. Of course, the Serie V 135 cigars are recent.

History
I have found the Oliva story to be very interesting, as the family has recently sold it's company to J. Cortès Cigars N.V., a family-owned Belgian company run by Fred Vandermarliere.

This ownership change has not only maintained the integrity and flavor profiles of the company's best cigars, but is bringing an expansion of the Oliva branded business. You can read the full story here = https://www.cigaraficionado.com/article/a-new-era-of-oliva
