What is the average number of leaves on an Oliva Cigar Co. tobacco plant?
Since I have heard that a wrapper plant will only yield up to 18 leaves that can be used, I will guess somewhere in range of 27-30 total usable leaves from your average filler plant.

What is the average life span of a tobacco plant?
Tobacco is a perennial plant, it will continue to grow back from the roots as long as they are not damaged by climate or soil conditions. However, it is my understanding that most tobacco used by major companies comes only from first and second year plants; after that, plants are replaced.

What are the 3 minerals most important to tobacco soil?
Mineral Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium (from ash)

How many rollers does NUb Have?
Guessing around 6-12

How many NUb cigars are rolled per day?
Several hundred per roller (assuming experienced rollers) means between 2000 and 7000 per day. I'm guessing probably about 6000, call it 2000 of each wrapper.

What are the 3 reasons I chose the word "NUb" for the cigar?
Obviously, it's size and shape. I think I read a quote somewhere where you said it was also a "new beginning"

How many turns (rolling lines) should a cigar have if properly rolled?
One to one and a half per inch of length of the cigar (according to Pepin Garcia)

What gives a cigar that beautiful white ash?
Typically, this is indicative of high potassium content in the soil the tobacco is grown in. For Ecuador and nearby regions, volcanic ash is a common fertilizer used in fields, which is very high in potassium.

What unit of measurement does NUb use to weigh cigars?
Grams I would presume...since most everyone in the world uses Metric except the US.

What is the name of my favorite sauce to put on my Charasco (nicaraguan flat iron steak) -just thowing that one out there...
Not a clue, isn't that a form of sauce similar to a BBQ sauce?

What is the name of the most preferred beer here in Esteli?
Victoria is the only beer I know of from Nicaragua, so that's my guess.

Well, that about sums up my guesses. Great contest Sam! Had me double tracking my thoughts left and right.
