如今,，德國的奧利瓦雪茄的粉絲們有了一個可以抽奧利瓦雪茄的絕佳場所。在德國的格羅瑙（Gronau），一家名為威士忌&雪茄沙龍的雪茄店內(nèi),，增設(shè)了一間奧利瓦雪茄品牌的休息室,。3月份，這個新場所在一場盛大的開幕式慶典上亮相,，參加開幕式的有75位客人,，奧利瓦雪茄品牌目前的持有人、弗雷德·范德馬利埃（Fred Vandermarliere）也出席了開幕式,。
威士忌&雪茄沙龍是2013年開業(yè)的,，老板是Han Hilderink，營業(yè)面積超過1345平方英尺,，提供很多雪茄和單一麥芽威士忌的選擇給客人,。抽茄休息區(qū)設(shè)有毛絨皮椅、木桌,、壁爐,。如今，在步入式的雪茄保濕柜區(qū)域的正上方安裝了一塊巨大的黃銅色的奧利瓦休息室（Oliva Lounge）的牌子,，墻壁上的配圖裝飾都是關(guān)于奧利瓦雪茄的照片,，包括奧利瓦的V系列、奧利瓦V系列米拉尼奧,，以及奧利瓦公司的發(fā)酵谷倉,、煙葉田的景象。
雪茄店外面有一個可以抽茄的露臺,，俯瞰著丁克爾河,，這里裝飾著更多奧利瓦品牌的標志。奧利瓦休息室的旗幟在微風里飄揚,，雪茄店主入口以及商店內(nèi)部的玻璃門上都印有歐洲第一家奧利瓦休息室的標識,。
這個提法可能會讓一些人感到驚訝，2010年,，奧利瓦公司曾經(jīng)在荷蘭,，以及德國的柏林開過雪茄休息室。根據(jù)公司的證實,，這些門店已經(jīng)關(guān)閉,。
奧利瓦雪茄的營銷總監(jiān)Laure Boisbouvier解釋說，目前開設(shè)在威士忌&雪茄沙龍里的奧利瓦休息室是奧利瓦雪茄公司目前的母公司范德馬利埃家族雪茄（Vandermarliere Family of Cigars）開設(shè)的第一家休息室,。目前全球范圍內(nèi)有兩家奧利瓦休息室,，一個是在游船上，眼下這家是歐洲大陸的第一家奧利瓦休息室,。
除了奧利瓦雪茄的常規(guī)產(chǎn)品線,，休息室還有一款專賣雪茄,，名為奧利瓦休息室專賣版本（Oliva Exclusive Lounge Edition）。
這款雪茄52環(huán)徑,，6英寸,，茄衣是深色的墨西哥圣安德烈斯（San Andrés）煙葉,，茄套,、茄芯都是尼加拉瓜煙葉。形狀和奧利瓦V系列米拉尼奧的馬杜羅公牛一樣,，但這款專賣版有不一樣的副標,。根據(jù)奧利瓦公司的說法，這兩個雪茄是同一款產(chǎn)品,，只是奧利瓦V系列米拉尼奧的馬杜羅公牛只在美國市場供應(yīng),，國際市場不銷售。
這款專賣版未來也會出現(xiàn)在新開設(shè)的奧利瓦休息室,，每盒10支裝,，售價是每盒160歐元，折合每支17美元,。
Fans of Oliva Cigars have a new location to light up their favorite smokes. A popular cigar shop in Gronau, Germany, called Whisky & Cigar Salon, now has an Oliva-branded smoking lounge under its roof. The new space was unveiled last week at a grand opening celebration that included cigars, food and champagne for 75 guests, plus a special visit from Oliva owner Fred Vandermarliere, of Vandermarliere Family of Cigars.
Founded in 2013 by Han Hilderink, Whisky & Cigar Salon is known for its extensive cigar and single-malt whisky selection, as well as its spacious smoking area measuring more than 1,345 square feet. Outfitted with plush leather chairs, wooden tables and a roaring fireplace, the lounge now boasts a large brass "Oliva Lounge" sign mounted above the walk-in humidor. Oliva photography and designs adorn the walls, highlighting Oliva Serie V and Oliva Serie V Melanio along with scenes from the company’s curing barns and tobacco fields.
Outside, there’s a smoking terrace overlooking the Dinkel River, with more Oliva branding in sight. Oliva Lounge flags flutter in the breeze, and a window near the main entrance along with the shop’s interior glass doors are emblazoned with the words, “First Oliva Lounge Europe.”
That billing may come as a surprise to some, as there have been earlier examples of Oliva Cigar Lounges in Europe. In 2010, Oliva opened lounges in Den Bosch, Holland, and Berlin, Germany. Those locations are now closed, the company confirmed.
Laure Boisbouvier, Oliva's marketing director, clarified that the new Oliva-branded lounge at Whisky & Cigar Salon is the first in mainland Europe to come from Vandermarliere Family of Cigars, Oliva’s parent company.
“We currently have two Oliva lounges. Worldwide, we have one already on a boat,” Boisbouvier says. “But the Oliva Lounge at Whisky & Cigar Salon is the first one in mainland Europe.”
In addition to the regular offerings from Oliva’s portfolio, Whisky & Cigar Salon also sells a special smoke called the Oliva Exclusive Lounge Edition.
Rolled with a dark, Mexican San Andrés cover leaf with binder and filler tobacco from Nicaragua, the Exclusive Lounge Edition has the same blend and shape as the Oliva Serie V Melanio Maduro Toro (a box-pressed parejo measuring 6 inches by 52 ring gauge), and wears a unique secondary band. According to Oliva, it’s the same cigar—but while the Melanio Maduro Toro can be purchased in cigar shops across the United States, you won’t find it overseas.
“It’s the same cigar but this particular size is not used anywhere in the international markets,” Boisbouvier says.
For now, European customers will have to head to the Oliva Lounge in Germany to get the special size. But Boisbouvier says the cigar will eventually be sold at future Oliva lounges.
The Oliva Exclusive Lounge Edition Toro is available from Whisky & Cigar Salon in 10-count boxes for 160 euros, 16 euros (about $17) per cigar.
