Oliva Cigar Company has announced its fourth lunar release, the Oliva Year of the Goat. This cigar will be sold outside the U.S. market. Oliva Year of the Goat debuted at InterTabac 2026.
Year of the Goat features a Cameroon wrapper over all-Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos. It comes in one size – a 6 x 60 Double Toro. The cigar is produced at Tabacalera Oliva S.A. (TABOLISA) in Estelí, Nicaragua. Total production is 2,000 ten-count boxes.
