The verdict
The Oliva Serie V Special V Figurado is a bold, full-bodied cigar from Oliva's Serie V line. It's a Nicaragua (New World) figurado wrapped in Ecuador Habano at 6 in × 60.
On the palate, expect coffee, cocoa, and cedar, leaning roast. Plan on roughly 80 minutes from light to nub.
It pairs naturally with espresso, aged rum, and porter. If you're newer to cigars, work up to this one rather than starting here.
The Special V Figurado is the Serie V for smokers who want more cigar. At 6 by 60 with a gently tapered figurado shape, it's a substantial smoke that gives Oliva's full-bodied blend plenty of room to develop over a long, leisurely burn.
What it tastes like
The familiar Serie V profile is all here: an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper over a Nicaraguan core built on Jalapa Valley ligero. The big ring gauge softens the edges a touch, so alongside the coffee, cocoa, cedar, and pepper you'll catch a creamy roundness. It stays full-bodied throughout but burns cool thanks to its size.
Who it's for
This is a great pick when you have a couple of hours and want a rich, satisfying smoke. It's still a full-bodied cigar, so it suits experienced palates — see the cigar strength guide if you're unsure.

Log it and rate it in your humidor with the Casa DNC app. If 60 ring is more than you want day to day, the Serie V Torpedo delivers the same blend in a tapered 56.
