Nub sticks

[njstone]

Although I agree that they're basically a gimmick, I do smoke them. I actually like them all--the Connie is a good morning smoke, the Cameroon is good anytime but IMVHO needs age (mine are over a year old and are pretty good now), Habano is good with a little something in your tummy. I've still only had one maduro, but I thought the one I had was the best NUB I'd had yet--a lot of floral notes and some chocolate, but about as strong as the Habano.

The trick to a NUB is to smoke it slower than you'd think. For some reason it's easy to get these burning too hot and then they get nasty (like any stick that burns too hot). When you burn them at that slightly slower pace, it actually works out to the smoking time they claim in the advertising/packaging, in my experience.

I thought it was maybe a little gimmicky too, but I tried one (the cammie) it was really good. Good taste, good burn, good draw, and it lasted a lot longer than I thought it would.

exactly my thoughts

I've tried all of them. I think the habano and the maduro are the best but I just didn't care for the size of the cigar itself. I found it to be an uncomfortable smoke...IMHO!!

Guys thanks for your opinions I have finally got around to smoking some of the sticks I got and so far I like the cameroon and dont much care for the connecticut the cameroon seems to have some more fruitier, sweeter notes to it while the connecticut is kinda dry and not much going on. I will let you know when I smoke the habano I have I am starting to think the habano will be a winner in my book...

I like the Habano, my favorite is the Maduro. The "Barber Pole" is really good in my opinion. In the next couple of weeks there will be a Cain F Nub.

Novelty cigar that's all that needs to be said.

i like the nub's I like the habano and the 464t maduro, it's as close as I get to smoking a 2008 oliva v maduro, wish I had more of them. Anyone with 08 oliva v's I'm willing to trade.

I've smoked numerous Nub Habanos and love them -- spicy and powerful.

I've smoked two of the Connecticut Nubs and wasn't exactly wowed. There are much better, flavorful mild cigars on the market in my opinion.

I have a Nub Maduro resting in my humidor right now. After reading what the others had to say, I can't wait to spark it up.

The Connecticut were my favorite. Didn't care for the Maduro.

I've only had one but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Was going to get more but don't know if they're worth the opportunity cost of what I can get them for.
