奥利瓦雪茄公司2019年翻新位于尼加拉瓜的奥利瓦烟草厂(Tabacalera Oliva S.A. factory,简称为Tabolisa)的时候,开始着手改进质量控制、工作条件和生产效率。三年后,奥利瓦公司以翻新后的工厂为模型,制作了一款雪茄,纪念这个成就。雪茄盒的外形设计成工厂外观的样子,命名为Tabolisa Uno,里面装了10支2019年卷制的V系列双罗布图雪茄。
2019年工厂恢复生产后,卷制了第一批1万支雪茄,这些老茄是其中的一部分。这批双罗布图已经发酵三年了。奥利瓦公司如今以这种新颖的方式包装它们,限量发售1000盒,每盒都是10支,每支都独立装载。
这批Tabolisa Uno没有确切的上市日期,预计在今年夏季末或者秋季初。每盒零售价是170美元。折合每支是17美元。当然,不能拆分出售。
V系列双罗布图是54环径粗,5英寸长,全部采用尼加拉瓜烟叶卷制。包括贾乐帕地区种植的利格罗烟叶,以及一种取自烟草植株高层的阳植法种植的茄衣烟叶。这款中等到浓郁强度口味的雪茄在《雪茄爱好者》杂志的盲评中获得了很高的得分。
奥利瓦雪茄公司如今科特斯公司(J. Cortès Cigars N.V.),这家私人企业位于比利时的兹韦弗海姆( Zwevegem),2016年收购了奥利瓦公司。

When Oliva Cigar Co. renovated its Nicaraguan Tabacalera Oliva S.A. factory in 2019—casually referred to as Tabolisa I—the company set out to improve quality control, working conditions and productivity. Three years later, Oliva looks back on this achievement by creating a box of cigars modeled after the factory itself. Called Tabolisa Uno, the replica boxes contain 10 Oliva Serie V Double Robustos made in 2019 that were set aside specifically for this project.
These aged smokes were part of the first 10,000 cigars ever produced in the Tabolisa I factory when it re-opened in 2019 (Tabolisa II is an auxiliary facility that produces cigars as well). Now that the Double Robustos are three years old, Oliva is releasing them in this novel packaging. Only 1,000 boxes of 10 will be produced. Each cigar comes in its own individual coffin.
There’s no exact launch date for Tabolisa Uno, but Oliva anticipates them hitting the market in late summer or early fall with a suggested retail price of $170. That averages to $17 per cigar, although this is meant to be sold as an entire package.
The Oliva Serie V Double Robusto measures 5 inches by 54 ring gauge and is made with an all-Nicaraguan blend including ligero tobacco from Jalapa and a high-priming, sun-grown wrapper. They tend to score well in Cigar Aficionado blind tastings and normally register as medium to full-bodied in strength.
The Oliva Cigar Co. is owned by J. Cortès Cigars N.V., a private, family-owned business based in Zwevegem, Belgium, that purchased Oliva in 2016.
