Oliva Lounge Opening at Stephani Genussreich in Passau

On October 24, 2025, Peter Stephani, his team, and his family welcomed around 80 guests to the grand opening of the new Oliva Lounge at Stephani Genussreich.

Peter Stephani now offers everything a connoisseur could desire in a 213-square-meter retail space: a fine selection of cigars, high-quality spirits and accessories, and BBQ grills from The Green Egg. The cigar section focuses particularly on the Oliva brand portfolio, with the Oliva Serie V Melanio Maduro Toro now available exclusively as a Lounge Exclusive Edition.

A total of four cigars were offered to guests at a cigar buffet, with two representatives presented for an easy introduction: the Oliva Connecticut Reserve in the classic Robusto format and the NUB Connecticut 460. The highlight was the aforementioned Oliva Lounge Exclusive, the Oliva Serie V Melanio Maduro Toro. The exclusive lounge cigar in Toro format is available at Stephani Genussreich in boxes of 10 for €160.00 RRP (€16.00 each). The grand finale featured an absolute Oliva bestseller, the Oliva Serie V Double Robusto (5 x 54).

As a special gift, VCF presented a humidor from Elie Bleu Paris in the style of the Oliva Tabacalera “Tabolisa Uno,” a declaration of love for tobacco, cigars, and handmade humidor art from the Parisian luxury house Elie Bleu—a select assortment of cigars for this humidor is available exclusively separately.
