What type of cigar cutter is best?

The best cigar cutter depends on personal preference. Guillotine and double blade cutters offer clean, straight cuts, V-cutters create a focused draw, and punch cutters provide a compact cutting option.

Do cigar cutters affect the draw?

Yes. A proper cigar cutter helps preserve the cigar cap and allows consistent airflow, which contributes to an even and enjoyable draw.

Can one cigar cutter be used for all cigar sizes?

Many cigar cutters are designed to accommodate a range of ring gauges, but larger cigars may perform better with wider cutters or V-cut styles.

How do I properly cut a cigar?

To properly cut a cigar, remove only the cap just above the shoulder using a sharp cutter. Cutting too deeply can damage the wrapper and affect performance.

Oliva Serie V Cigars | Aged Habano, Maduro & Melanio

Oliva Serie V

The Oliva Serie V is the cigar that announced Oliva to the world of full-bodied connoisseurs, a powerhouse blend built on specially fermented Nicaraguan ligero from the Jalapa Valley. The original wears an Ecuadorian Habano sun-grown wrapper for a bold, layered profile of pepper, leather, dark chocolate, and coffee, while the Maduro deepens that core with a darker leaf. Within this collection you will also find the celebrated Serie V Melanio, distinguished by its Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper, an award-winning expression that trades raw power for refined balance. Together they represent the full breadth of Oliva's flagship Serie V family.
