Hello, NUb!

[GarlicBelch]

First time Nub smoker...

Nub Habano 466

The Nub was tasty! I would say it was mild-medium body with some spice and the concept is amazing. It's like smoking the sweet spot of a cigar right away without having to go through the first inch or so. I had the 466, which was 4"x66 ring gauge. It was hella wide! Next time, I would do the torpedo to have it fit more comfortable in my mouth. About the biggest negative I have for Nub, is that it's really, really close your face on light-up. So much so that I got a bit of smoke up into my nose during the light-up. Also, lighting up a 66-rg cigar is no joke! But the extra-wide does allow it to stay cool pretty much all the way up until the end. I'll be picking up more of these bad boys in the future.

:thumbsup:

Thanks for the review bro. When the Nubs first came out I was crazy about them. CI had a great deal on a variety sampler box. I got burned out on them very fast. Now I don't smoke them at all.

Nice review. Would've loved seeing some photos but thats just a minor thing "next review hopefully" :smile:

Aren't these causing controversy ? Naming rights issues case vs the nubber accessory or something ? :stickbeat

good point, i appriciate the idea behind it, but i'd like to see him (sam) branch out on the blends soon, show what that concept can really do, i take a bit of concern with the cain, being a traditional shape, not a nub.

may be a sign of the times.

I have always been a fan of nubs. I enjoy them all but my two favorites are the Connecticut and maduro!

I had a Cain & thought that it was pretty good. Better than a Nub IMHO.

I never knew they had a maduro.

He was trying to expand to a Nub Miami that was to be made by Padilla but that idea is on hold. I personally love the Connecticut in the morning with coffee.

I had a couple of bundles when they came out last year. They were ok. Just a gimmick. Come on 'sweet spot', if it is a quality smoke the whole thing is a sweet spot. It isn't a damn tennis racquet!

I'll echo Joe - Liked em alot & they can be snatched up on some great deals - just got burned out on them quickly & don't care for them anymore.

The Cain was okay - missing something though... I'll try the maduro when I come across it...

thanks for the review bro! havent seen you around the board in a while

Thanks everyone!

I was describing my first Nub experience...but I can see how smoking these may get tiring. Just gotta rotate, I guess.

I'm mostly a medium body cigar smoker, but will venture out into Connecticut lights and maduro fulls every once in a while. I enjoy the habanos and corojos mostly.

Yeah, been waaaayyy too long. I got addicted to this "twitter" thing!

This forum provide a better way of putting mini-reviews out.

Did you ever get out to West Coast?

I have photos on my iPhone! I'll get them into the Mac and attached here somewhere after I figure out how to do that...

I'm really starting to get into taking pics of the cigars I smoke into at least the iPhone for posterity's sake!

I also got burned out on these, mainly due to finding the Pepin/Tat/Illusione flavors that I just can't get enough of. The Nub Maduro is a VERY big step up from the first 3 and I would recommend it to anyone.

good review...

I've enjoyed them all, but I agree that the Nub Maduro is the best of them. Mmmmmm.

Pepins and Tats are some of my favs. Everyone keeps talking about Illusione...gotta try some out...
