The Oliva Serie V Melanio Maduro will be launched by Oliva Cigar Company at the 2013 IPCPR Trade Show in Las Vegas. The Melanio Maduro will be a single vitola, limited production offering to complement the Oliva Serie V Melanio core line. Information on the release was reported in the 5/28/13 Cigar Insider.
