411 on Flor de Oliva

I have always heard that they are two separate companies with almost the same name, hence the confusion. I know some people who see FdO and immediately think they will smoke like the Oliva cigars. In my opinion they are not owned by the same people but just have similar names, if not the same for their factories, which lead to better sales for FdO and no negative repercussions for Oliva as far as I can tell, other than people being confused, so neither really does anything about it. Just my 2 cents though.

not true either. Flor de Oliva is the budget line from Oliva. I have been in the Oliva Headquarters in Hileah and saw boxes full of Flor de Oliva there, next to the V, O, Connecticut Reserve and G series, Nubs and Cains.

There are two Olivas.

There is the Oliva Cigar company - who makes these cigars, the letter cigars (O,V,G), Master Blends, Nub, Cain etc.

And there is the Oliva Tobacco company - who are tobacco growers and suppliers to many in the cigar industry: http://www.olivatobacco.com/

The Oliva Tobacco Company did actually release a cigar a few years ago, the "Angel 100" in commemoration of their founder, Angel Oliva. But that was it.

There is some confusion about this, Oliva Cigar Co. and Oliva Tobacco are two separate companies, but Oliva Cigar company does make FDO plus all the others.
