The Oliva Cigar Company has a history that dates back to 1886 when Melanio Oliva first began growing tobacco. Gilberto Oliva Sr. and his sons are responsible for creating the Oliva cigars we know today. Even among Cuban cigar connoisseurs, Oliva is one of the few ‘new world’ brands held in high esteem the world over. Not only do they produce some of the best cigars on the market, their products are carefully crafted with quality and consistency in mind.
