Oliva brand cigars have long borne comparison with the best long-fillers in the world – at international level. We met the family behind this strong brand and discussed their Cuban roots, the birth of the brand and the innovatory spirit that makes Oliva so successful.
Other articles in the 2010 Spring issue look at tobacco cultivation in Colombia, the rise of Nicaragua as a cigar country and the first cigar festival in this Central American country. In Collector’s Corner, Colin Ganley looks in detail at the topic of fake luxury-class cigars. Marc André discusses storage mistakes when air humidity in the humidor is too high. A visit to New Zealand gave us an idea of what strange effects rigid tobacco regulation laws can produce.
