Well after reading about some of these short cigars I went out this morning and bought a few Nubs to try. Looking at the cigar I didn't think it would last more than 30 minutes but I was really wrong!!, it lasted every bit of 1hr and 15min. It smoked down to about 3/4" and it never gave the heat to me. This stick agreed with my taste for sure, I'm looking forward to the rest.
