NUB Launch Event #1

[chippewastud79]

So, I had the opportunity to go to the very first NUB Launch Event and I have to say it was pretty cool. Had the chance to smoke with a few gorillas and see Sam rolling a few of the cigars himself. Jose Oliva was there and I would say it was a huge success for the brand, over 200 people picked up the sampler and all 48 boxes alloted for the local store who hosted the event were sold (Thankfully saving me money).

All the feedback I heard from different people who were smoking them was positive, and there were a lot of gratuitous ash shots. Personally, I lit an Oliva 'V' Figurado before they went on sale and it lasted me the better part of the night. :ss

So you are sayin', "Hey! Where's the damn pics?". Well I remembered my camera, but like an asshole I left the memory card plugged into the computer at home. :hn

So you are stuck with the spoils pictures. Hope they will suffice.

The sample came with one of each wrapper and a decal sticker and a booklet about the sizes, wrappers and the brand. Not bad for $10.

Thanks for looking, and sorry for the disappointment of the pictures.

Sounds sweet. Sucks for me he won't be in my area until the end of August I think.


Looks like it will be Aug. 7th at Serious Cigars. I love Ron's events and at least I know it will be worth the wait.

Well if nothing else it saved me money. As you'll note by my large cabinet I don't exactly need more. :tu

I'd love to see a Moki-style picture of a Nub with a quarter next to it (hint hint hint)

Right on Adam. The Nub launch was my first cigar event period, so getting The 3 Nub sampler, and a extra one, which I promptly fired up was awesome. It was a habano, smooth, flavorful, right from the first puff. The only problem was the beer drinking and bullsh:BS.... er, discussions of current events, yeah, that's the ticket! I let it go out. How many different draft beers do they have there, anyway?

Anyway, it was great to meet you, bigben and bengalman and that place was packed. Imagine the billows of fragrant tobaccos filling the air...and how much febreeze was used after!
