About this cigar
The standard Serie V Double Robusto pairs a sun-grown Nicaraguan Habano wrapper with concentrated Nicaraguan ligero filler, including Jalapa Valley leaf. Its compact 5-by-54 format emphasizes the line’s dense, full-bodied character while remaining distinct from the later, box-pressed Serie V Melanio range.

Aging & storage · Guidance
How to keep it
General humidor guidance for this cigar, based on its wrapper, strength, ring gauge and packaging.
Storage
Hold the box at 65–70% relative humidity at 65–70°F (18–21°C). Steady humidity matters far more than the exact number — swings are what crack wrappers.
Rest after delivery
Thicker ring gauges hold shipping moisture longest — give these boxes three to four weeks in the humidor before the first one.
How the wrapper develops
Dark, fermented wrappers deepen with time: the sweetness rounds out and the sharper edges of the finish soften over the first year.
Aging window
Full-bodied blends reward patience: a year or two of quiet aging typically trades raw power for depth.
In the box
Age them in their own box where possible — the cedar keeps the cigars marrying together instead of taking on the flavour of everything else in the humidor.
