Nub Cigars

NUB

What does one expect from a Nub? Nub is the brand that figured out how to hit the sweet spot of a cigar faster and stay there longer. The brain behind this innovation belongs to Sam Leccia. As a passionate aficionado, Sam’s purpose in creating Nub was to find a way to enhance the smoking experience by prolonging the most pleasurable part. Sam had the idea when he started experimenting with different rolling techniques in his garage. He brought the cigar he had rolled to Oliva Cigar, where he worked as a sales representative, and shared his idea with them. At first, the Olivas were hesitant about the cigar because it could be seen as a gimmick and not be taken as seriously as they intended. The brand was launched in 2008 and alongside it several giveaways to promote the new cigar, including a year's worth of cigars and a 2008 BMW Mini Cooper Convertible. It was felt that the car represented the brand because, like the cigar, it was short and large compared to its counterparts but stylish. Nub cigars have the same amount of tobacco as most Churchills and their smoking sessions last about the same amount of time. Nub features rich Nicaraguan filler tobacco in their cigars and have been infused with decadent coffee flavors. The production of Nub is now under Studio Tobac, a branch of Oliva Cigars partnered with Ernesto Padilla. Padilla is a talented Cuban who also produces premium cigars for his own Miami-based boutique brand. After its launch, Nub invigorated the cigar industry and gained an immense following. Jose Oliva, the chief executive officer of Oliva Cigars, confirmed there are no longer any doubts about the brand “There's sincerity in it. The proof is in the imitations.” Since its release, other brands have created similar models to achieve the heightened smoke experience a Nub provides. It's now wonder, as Nub has earned various accolades from several cigar publications including 90+ ratings from Cigar Aficionado and the “2008 Best Buy” award from Cigar Insider.. Don’t snub a Nub because it is a new concept, fall into its indulgence!

Great!

As advertised. Smooth, fresh smoke. I keep coming back to these. Easy to store because of length. Never lets me down.

Very good cigars

All of these cigars were very good. Depending on your taste results will vary for each. Only issue I had was the wrapper coming slightly apart at the end of one of them. Will definitely buy more in the future.

Nub 460 Winter Series Cigar Combo

A little stronger than I like

Stronger than I like, and it is really an inch to 1 1/2 of smoking and then it’s done. Too expensive for such a small amount of smoke. I am going back to torpedo or Churchill cigars.

Nub Nuance Double Roast 460

That perfect flavored smoke

When you smoke the N.D.R. the flavor is SO smooth and tasty. Goes great with Rum, Cognac, Scotch, or your favorite coffee. The 460 is about a good 45 minute smoke.

Nub Maduro 460

Just Wow

This Nub was the first I’ve tried as I was reluctant to do to the fact I’m typically not a big fan of small cigars, however this series has blown me away. Burns evenly and slow which was pleasantly surprising. The taste just wow amazing start to finish! Definitely a new line up I’ll be adding to my humidors!

Nub Connecticut 460

Don't Get it

these were ok for me; the flavor was fine, and construction and burn were good, but it didn't do anything for me. A friend of mine loves these sticks, but this is not one that will be added to my rotation, even if added as part of a sampler.

Nub Nuance Triple Roast 460

Excellent Smoke

Great infused cigar that tastes like a cigar first with some coffee notes. Not one of those heavily flavored cigars that overpowers the actual tobacco. Good stuff...reordering!

Double Roast, Worth to BOAST!

This cigar had an amazing draw that allowed the flavor to expand with ease! Not overpowering, perfect balance and speaking of balance, check this picture out! Considering getting a box to start the fall season off.
