About Oliva Cigars

Oliva Cigar Co., renowned for its diverse array of cigar brands cultivated and crafted primarily in Nicaragua, has earned global acclaim for its exceptional products. The roots of this esteemed company trace back to the legacy of Melanio Oliva, who commenced tobacco cultivation in Pinar del Río, Cuba, in 1886. Following the upheavals of the 1959 Cuban Revolution, Melanio’s grandson, Gilberto Oliva, relocated with his family first to Spain and then to Nicaragua, rekindling the family’s tobacco heritage. In 1995, Gilberto and his son, Gilberto Jr., established the “Gilberto Oliva” brand, laying the foundation for what would evolve into the Oliva Cigar Co. Currently headquartered in Miami Lakes, Florida, the company has garnered a reputation for producing approximately 15 million to 16 million handmade cigars annually.

The Oliva Cigar Family’s ties to the tobacco trade endure through the generations, with the five Oliva siblings and Melanio Oliva’s great-grandchildren actively participating in the family business. Gilberto Jr. oversees the cultivation of Nicaraguan tobacco leaves and blends creation, while Carlos manages production, Jeannie oversees administrative affairs in Miami Lakes, and José spearheads sales efforts. Bolstered by a dedicated sales management team comprising 18 professionals, Oliva Cigar Co. markets its products in 18 countries, with a predominant focus on the American market, which accounts for approximately 95% of its sales.

In 2011, Oliva Cigar Co. embarked on a collaborative venture with Padilla under the banner of Studio Tobac, wherein Oliva was entrusted by Padilla to manufacture its “Studio Tobac Special Edition” figurado. Additionally, Oliva produces the Nica Libre “Potencia” under contract for the online cigar retailer Meier and Dutch. It’s important to note that Oliva Cigar Co. should not be conflated with the Oliva Tobacco Co. of Tampa, Florida, a significant tobacco supplier to various prominent brands, nor with the long-established Oliveros brand.
