I'm not really into giving reviews (actually I would call this my first one) seeing as everyone's tastes differ. I mean whats strong and spicy or mild and creamy to me may be completely different for everyone here. In addition, I can almost guarantee not everyone is going to agree with my opinion. However, I finally got around to trying one of the Nub Habanos today, liked it and thought I would share.
Now seeing as these have been causing a ridiculous amount of controversy around here I don't want this turning into a bash thread. In fact if you haven't tried them, don't plan too, or don't care please don't post just to bash. Thats not what this is about.
It's definitely not the best cigar I've ever had but its a good all around daily smoke with some good flavor that doesn't disappoint (some may call them yardgars, workin-on-da-car-igars, sittin-in-aboat-tryinto-catchafishy-gar, etc...).The only thing that I didn't like about it was that the wrapper split up near the cap, eventually almost the whole wrapper came off. I've been hearing about other people having problems with this happening to them too. In fact it happened to another Nub when I first picked them up.
I did like the smoke though. I got just a little hint of spice throughout with a good amount of thick white smoke and some nice flavor. The taste and flavor stayed extremely consistent throughout. I know some people don't like that in a cigar, they enjoy the flavor change and complexity of many cigars. In fact I do too with most cigars. However, sometimes having a completely consistent smoke throughout is great when you don't have time to really sit back and pay attention to all the little nuances of a smoke but want something that you know will deliver throughout. These may not be for everyone but I enjoy them and think they're worthy of people giving them a try. I guess I'll have to post up when I finally get around to the Cameroon and Connecticut varieties.
