A Celebration of the Beautiful Game and Fine Cigars There are few occasions that unite people across the globe quite like the FIFA World Cup, and Oliva chose to celebrate the 2026 tournament in a way that feels entirely fitting. Rather than simply producing another commemorative band, they created one of the most memorable collector's releases in recent years—a beautifully crafted football-shaped humidor filled with twenty-four specially aged Serie V Melanio Double Toro cigars.

The Melanio range itself carries a story. Named in honour of Melanio Oliva, whose family's tobacco-growing roots stretch back to nineteenth-century Cuba before later flourishing in Nicaragua, it has become the cigar that many enthusiasts regard as Oliva's masterpiece. This special edition builds upon that reputation. Inside the humidor are twelve of the celebrated Ecuador Sumatra-wrapped Melanios alongside twelve richer Mexican San Andrés Maduro versions, each matured for three years after rolling and finished with an exclusive World Cup foot band.

The result is a collection that showcases two outstanding interpretations of the Melanio blend. The Natural offers refined notes of cedar, roasted coffee, caramel and gentle spice, whilst the Maduro introduces deeper flavours of dark chocolate, espresso and earth. Limited to just 5,000 humidors worldwide, it is the sort of release that deserves to be enjoyed slowly, whether after the final whistle or simply in good company.
