This review is based on two tastings of this vitola. I know there has been some controversy surrounding this line of cigars but to be fair I held my option until the dust settled. I think Sam Leccia has done a fine job marketing as well as answering questions some of us have had here at Club Stogie.
I will refrain from comparing the Nub to other cigars, particularly the Oliva line.
The wrapper is dark brown (not as dark as Maduro brown) and the construction appears flawless. For a cigar this length I was thinking it would probably last an hour at the most but the total smoking time was 1 hour and 35 minutes. I coupled it with one of my favorites - Sierra Nevada Summerfest!!!
Upon torching the foot I picked up an aroma of coffee and nuts. The first few puffs yielded a lot of white smoke. A sweet almond flavor is apparent along with coffee. The draw was perfect, neither too light nor heavy.
Some correcting was needed a little at the start but the rest of the burn was even throughout both sittings.
I had to do the Nub balancing act!!!
The flavor did not change much at this point. The flavor is still almonds and coffee with a little pepper detected but not overpowering.
The construction on these is apparent in the ash! These really do hold the ash very well!
The claim to fame on the Nub is the "sweet spot"! This cigar remained consistant in flavor throughout the smoke. I think that the average cigar smoker will never know for sure if he/she is really getting the "sweet spot" with the Nub because the flavors and notes do not change as in other cigars of different vitolas. This cigar was tasty and enjoyable so I will have to trust Sam and his rollers that I am smoking the "sweet spot"!
I burnt my finger on this Nub twice!!!
Overall Experience: Good - I recommend you try them if you liked the flavors described in this review.
Construction: 9 out of 10
Price: 8 out of 10
Flavor: 7 out of 10 - medium with nice nutty coffee notes
Appearance: 9 out of 10 - smooth wrapper and nice color
I want to thank the people who have gifted me these over the past few months!!! Thank you ir13 (Joey), bobarian (Bob), and Joan (Joan)!!!:tu
