What it is

Oliva’s Edición Año 2025 is the brand’s annual limited release built on the award‑winning Melanio recipe. It debuted at InterTabac (Dortmund) in September 2025 and ships in 10‑count boxes at an SRP of $18 per cigar / $180 per box. [smokingpipes.com],

• Size / format: Robusto Extra 5″ × 54, presented round (not box‑pressed)—a departure from much of the core Melanio line. [cigarsdaily.com]
• Blend: Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and fillers grown on Oliva’s farms; handmade at Tabolisa in Estelí, Nicaragua. [smokingpipes.com]

---

Body & profile (consensus from retailers and press)

A full‑flavored (often described as medium‑full to full) take on Melanio that emphasizes smooth power and layered complexity: opening with pepper, cedar, leather, then evolving to espresso/cocoa, with a caramel/raisin sweetness on the finish. 

---

Smoking time & presentation

• Typical session: ~60–90 minutes, depending on pace. 
• Packaging: 10 cigars per box; small‑batch availability for 2025 only.

Why it’s special

• Continues Oliva’s Edición Año tradition—limited one‑and‑done yearly vitolas meant to “pay tribute to the tobacco leaf” through refined blending and aging. [smokingpipes.com]
• Keeps the Melanio DNA (Sumatra wrapper + Jalapa sweetness) while the round Robusto Extra format broadens the draw and mouthfeel for a denser, aromatic smoke. [cigarsdaily.com]

---

Pairing ideas (to match the noted flavors)

• Sherry‑cask single malt or aged rum to echo caramel/raisin tones.
• Espresso / dark‑roast coffee to complement the cocoa/espresso core.
