Oliva Serie V Torpedo - 2007 #4 Cigar of the Year

Oliva Serie V Torpedo Cigars | Selected by Cigar Aficionado as the 2007 #4 Cigar Of The Year – Rated 94 The Oliva Serie V Torpedo is a 6" x 56 figurado that helped reshape what full-bodied cigars could be—and earned a coveted #4 spot on Cigar Aficionado’s Top 25 list in 2007 with a stellar 94 rating. The Serie V line represents the pinnacle of Oliva’s artistry, a brand born from a family long respected for cultivating some of Nicaragua’s finest tobacco. This top-shelf blend features Nicaraguan Jalapa Valley ligero long-fillers, a spicy Nicaraguan binder, and a smooth, oily sun-grown Ecuadoran wrapper. From the hands of Oliva’s most experienced rollers, the Torpedo emerges with precision, balance, and unmistakable intensity. It’s bold, it’s rich, and it helped ignite the modern era of “powerhouse” cigars—where flavor, strength, and complexity collide. Light up and you’re greeted with a jolt of white pepper and earthy Nicaraguan spice. From there, the profile develops into layers of cedar, dark-roasted coffee, and bittersweet cocoa, finishing on a deep, earthy note that lingers. Strong, complex, and incredibly refined, this is a cigar that delivers on every front. For fans of bold, nuanced smokes, the Serie V Torpedo is a must. It pairs best with coffee, Tawny port, or dark beer, and really shines after a heavy meal. Comparable favorites include Ashton VSG and Padron 1926. When it comes to cigars made for serious palates, Oliva’s Serie V remains a benchmark—and the Torpedo might just be the most dialed-in vitola of the bunch.
