History of the Oliva Cigars Family

Way back in 1886, Melanio Oliva became the first in a long line of tobacco growers in his family. He operated his first farm in Pinar Del Rio, Cuba, taking a break to fight in the Cuban War of Independence. By the mid-1920s, his heir Facundo Oliva took over production. Facundo continued to run the farm for decades, only changing the business plan significantly after the Communists took over Cuba.

By the 1960s, Melanio's grandson Gilberto Oliva was traveling the world searching for the right conditions to replace that rich Cuban soil. He also began acting largely as a broker, providing him with great experience sampling the wide variety of tobacco possibilities. In the mid-1990s, Gilberto and Gilberto, Jr settled in Nicaragua and opened Oliva Cigar Co. The company was purchased two decades later by J. Cortès Cigars N.V.

Oliva Cigars is a youngish company built on a century of experience growing and rolling the highest quality leaves. They know how to create great smoking encounters for nearly any taste.
