Robusto. This Cameroon cloaked robusto is one of the company's best. The toothy African leaf pairs well with the sublime Nicaraguan tobaccos that make up the filler blend and binder. As part of a redesign of all of the company's brands, the cigar was originally rated as the Oliva Grand Cameroon, but is now known as the Oliva Serie G Cameroon. The blend remains the same, Cuban-seed Nicaraguan tobaccos mixed with Cameroon wrapper. The box-pressed robusto, which measures 4 1/2 by 50, is elegant and sweet, with nice balance. Rated 91.

Oliva Cigar Co. of Miami Lakes Florida makes millions of cigars each year in Nicaragua, but none are finer than its Oliva Serie V Liga Especial. The brand is made by a small team of rollers in Nicaragua-only 22 are entrusted to make it, and unlike the other cigarmakers in the factory they are paid on salary, rather than by the number of cigars they make. Furthermore, Oliva uses some of its most powerful leaves in the blend, which is finished with a Habano-seed wrapper leaf grown in Nicaragua. The result is a full-flavored cigar with balance and complexity. An Oliva Serie V has made our Top 25 list for five years running. This is no small feat, and it speaks to the cigar's admirable consistency.

Oliva Cigar Co., not to be confused with Oliva Tobacco Co., makes its headquarters in Miami, Florida, and rolls its cigars in Nicaragua. The company was little known in the cigar business only a few years ago, but through persistence, patience and consistently putting out a quality product the Olivas have risen to the forefront of cigar production. Originally known for making bargain brands, the company now has cigars for the most sophisticated palates. This is the fifth year one of its cigars has made the Top 25 list (2009 Cigar Aficianado). The Serie V Liga Especial Belicoso features superb construction, powerful, full-bodied flavors of meat and nuts and a balancing sweetness. Rated 93

Huge, thick and oily with a richly colored wrapper. It draws and burns well for such a thick cigar, showing a steady profile of woody, nutty and coffee flavors, although the finish is short. Rated 89.

Dark and oily with a lopsided torpedo head. Initial draw shows very strong tobacco flavors with a dry note on the finish. Hardy and powerful. Rated 89.

This attractive, oily torpedo is full of dynamic nut, wood and sweet cedar flavors that frame a substantial leather core. The finish is long and rich. Tasty and complex. Rated 94 by Cigar Aficionado.
