Oliva Cigars recently celebrated its expansion into Saudi Arabia with a launch event at La Casa Cubana Cigar Lounge located in the Crowne Plaza Hotel Digital City in Riyadh, the country’s capital. 

People at the event were able to enjoy a selection of Oliva cigars, the milder Oliva Connecticut Reserve Robusto and the fuller-bodied Oliva Serie V Melanio Figurado, which was crowned Cigar of the Year for 2014 by Cigar Aficionado magazine. 

The event, held on January 29, also celebrated the official opening of La Casa Cubana Cigar Lounge at the Crowne Plaza.

Oliva Cigars has long been one of the more internationally minded cigar companies, selling in a host of countries even before it was acquired by Belgium’s J. Cortès Cigars N.V in 2016. Oliva began offering its cigars in Saudi Arabia in November; it’s a country that requires strict, plain packaging regulations on cigars, purposely obscuring the artwork and branding cigar lovers have come to expect when shopping for premium, handmade cigars.
