Just my 2 cents though.

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.
