I'm perplexed by the fact that there are five . . . yes FIVE events in New Hampshire and not even one in Massachusetts.

[chippewastud79]

No love for N. Kentucky?

[r-ice]

so wheres the nub launch for Toronto?

[Nabinger16]

Oh I see how it is... You talk about spending some quality time at Angelina’s in Warsaw. I get my hopes up that I might be meeting the BengalMan. Maybe even prying one of those Nubs out of his nubs.... and what happens!? You hang around Indy during the week when I can't even make the three hour drive. My God man that's cold! I'm a little hurt. I'm going to go smoke a FUENTE or something and pout!

Chippewa, April 1st - The Party Source.

Everyone else - This is just a partial list of dates that have been scheduled thus far. There are still another 14 dates to be scheduled. NUB's WILL have events in CA, they just have not been scheduled yet.

Joking, I just saw everyone else questioning locations. I figured I would complain for only having the first launch event. Can't fricken wait. :ss

[mikeyj23]

About the tour? Not really...the closest you're coming is 3.5hrs away. I just like Google Maps. A lot :D

[doctorcue]

NUB's WILL have events in CA, they just have not been scheduled yet.

Good to hear; I'm looking forward to it! :ss

[NCRadioMan]

June 4
Tinderbox
Charlotte, NC (Hickory Event)


I have always wondered why they have these over-priced events in Hickory when there is a pretty good b&m in Hickory, and it isn't Tinder Box. Hickory is over and hour and a half away from Charlotte and the nearest Tinder Box and there are 4 GREAT b&m's in between. :r

The Cass's think they own NC. :rolleyes:

[hurricane6]

Awesome!!! I can't wait for the one in Northwest Florida!!:confused:
Oh wait...there's NOT one!:mad: ... YET!!!!!j/k!! figured I'd pile on!:D I look forward to trying some of your smokes, soon I hope!!

[Pendaboot]

About the tour? Not really...the closest you're coming is 3.5hrs away. I just like Google Maps. A lot :D

I'd be thrilled if there was an event within even one thousand miles of the Pacific Northwest! I know that not everyone can be served, but this is being dissed on a whole new level!

I hear CigarFO has something like a Nub...

As as stated earlier, more dates to come no need to get all frazzled just yet. :)

[Siebec]

Hope to see you in Toledo on April 11th.

Hope to see you in Toledo on April 11th.

For sure, La Casa also did our V launch and it was a great turn out, we expect this one to be even bigger!

[tedrodgerscpa]

OR, you could come to South Carolina June 3rd!!!

You KNOW you're gonna sell a lot with the PSHC* in the house!

No events in Atlanta, or even Georgia? (as far as I can tell from the list)

I will be in Atlanta from may 26 to may 30 (and then in NYC for a couple of days before going back to Sweden), so having the chance of attending a NUb release event would be great!

Which event is the closest to Atlanta? (I'm not really good at US geography...)


International release won't be until september, and in Amsterdam ( which is not that close to Stockholm..), so I hope I at least will be able to find NUbs in stores when I go to the US!

/Pac - expect that the NUbs are exactly what I want, thick and fullbodied.

[Costa]

I'm perplexed by the fact that there are five . . . yes FIVE events in New Hampshire and not even one in Massachusetts.

Man, that one shocks.

June 12
Leaf and Ale
Knoxville, TN

June 13
Uptown Cigar Co.
Nashville, TN


Both of these are probably the closest to Atlanta... Knoxville is a straight shot and slightly closer to Atlanta, but either will do.

Surprised there's not an Atlanta show... Hmmmm....

But still a.. 3 (?) hour drive from Atlanta, or something like it?
Could be a problem as the girlfriend is not at all interested in cigars (or to happy about me smoking them.. :/ ).. and besides, it is two weeks after I leave Atlanta, so I'm out of luck anyways...

Oh well, it's only a cigar launch... :(

/Pac

[LordOfWu]

Nothing in CO? But we have the mountains!!! Oh well, probably for the best...I might actually like them and have to buy them...

[NHsmoker]

I'm perplexed by the fact that there are five . . . yes FIVE events in New Hampshire and not even one in Massachusetts.

Thats simply because tax free NH is the best place to buy cigars lol. I am sure I'll make it to at least one or two of the events.

[chippewastud79]

:chk:chk One week. Yeah! :chk:chk

[BengalMan]

Haha, I can see your pumped Adam as am I. Were going to have a huge Oliva crew down at the first one. Drew the KY rep, Dave our National Sales Manager, Sam of course, and myself. It's going to be crazy!

[Snoman13]

so wheres the nub launch for Toronto?

QFT. No Canuck love from Nub?

[chippewastud79]

:chk 48 hours :chk

[BengalMan]

:chk 48 hours :chk
for sure. I'll be down around 430 or so. Jose Oliva is making the trip from Miami as well, should be a great time!

[tedrodgerscpa]

Let Jose Oliva know that South Carolina is a LOT CLOSER than the KY/OH area!

[chippewastud79]

:chk:chk24 HOURS:chk:chk

[stearns]

[garilla]

Some of you are sitting around debating on a 3-hour drive to a "regular" cigar event. Hell, I'm sitting here wondering if it's worth the price in gas for me to drive to my local B&M 10 minutes away to pick up one to try. This marketing has the average aficionado frothing at the mouth. Sheesh, I thought the embargo lifted for a minute there....Are they THAT damn good or what?!?

I'm sorry, but the amount of marketing and hype surrounding this cigar, I mean c'mon. ALL of us have had the thought of trying to cut a normal length cigar in half to try and get to that sweet spot quicker, so the "new" size doesn't exactly have me rushing to the airport to fly to the nearest launch party. Again, are they THAT damn good or what?!?

- Garilla

PS. Not trying to be greedy, but Florida, home of the original Cigar Town can't manage to wrangle one stop on the (now) infamous tour? What did they think there were no cigar smokers down here? Somehow I'm thinking those folks in Amsterdam have a slightly tainted palette...:w

[pnoon]

Are they THAT damn good or what?!? [/I]

ROFL, I JUST got done reading that thread when I clicked back here. Guess that pretty much sums it up.

Like I said, ALL Hype can be a bad thing...

[Poriggity]

IF you haven't tried one, try one. You can't say its all hype unless you've had one, and you didn't like it. Different strokes for different folks. I for one have loved the few that I've gotten to smoke. So much in fact that I bought two boxes, with a couple more coming right behind those.

[heatmiser]

I bought 5 of each style wrapper at CI (buy 4 get 1 free) and have smoked one of each so far. They are actually pretty good. At the price point I would continue to buy them but if they go up in price I have others that I like more.

[BengalMan]

You are correct Poriggity. Cigars are no different than beer, coffee, or almost anything else, everyone likes different things. Some people claim the Nub is all hype but have yet to try it. Others thought it was hype, tried it and loved it. Others have tried it, didn't like it, then chalk it up to hype. In the end, everyone's tastes are different. My suggestion to everyone is pick one up and try it. The price point won't break the bank and if you like it, you found a new cigar to enjoy. If you didn't, then you live on to smoke something else the next day.
