I guess that's an intro.....:smiley5:
I've had some decent Nubs, maybe one that wasn't so hot (I think it was the habano wrapper one), and as a result, I don't really go out of my way to find them. I feel they're a bit overpriced.
I seem to recall a decent amount of conversations about these. Not sure why search didn't turn anything up...

I think they suck...I'm really surprised Oliva bought into that line.
I think that is because the search requires the keyword to be more than 3 characters long...Quote:

Elaborate a bit?Quote:

I don't recall see the location specifically for introductory posts. After reading through several forum posts (not necessarily intros), I decided to forgo any type of introductions. I noticed quite a few people would end up get flogged and flamed pretty bad so what was the point.Quote:

You can post your intro in this thread if you want, we consider this a community and it is considered bad form to just walk in and start asking questions without at least introducing yourself.
Search around a little more and you will see what I mean - there are many examples of good intros, and many, many examples of meltdowns.

And the flame kindles... I typical join a forum board and READ the stickies to make sure I don't miss anything. I did not see anything in regards to the whole "post a intro". Maybe you should kindly add that so that you do not observe attitude from possible new members?Quote:

Intro's been posted :) Let's get back on topic if at all possible.
I understand people like / dislike the cigar. I was hoping people would elaborate on their opinion.
I see you are a "short & sweet / straight-to-the-point" kind of guy so here's my "elaborate" answer:
I can get a better tasting, longer lasting cigar for the same price.
Hope that works for ya. Enjoy your stay.
Thanks for the intro.
Don't care for the Nub line. Just a personal preference. I prefer longer lanceros or churchills. I smoked the maduro and the habano - they just didn't entice me to try another one, let's leave it at that. I prefer Nicaraguan cigars above all others, at that. Maybe try a Padron or something from the Tatuaje Havana line, and let me know if you can taste the difference.
Tiny things, in general, annoy me - there are many exceptions, however.
Thanks for intro. My thoughts on Nub's why pay full price for half a smoke.Would rather smoke Oliva V or O
Welcome! I enjoy Nubs but agree with the pricing. They last about as long for me as a petite but are twice as expensive. I've enjoyed the box of 464 Cameroon's I bought but I won't buy another.
X1, I would rather the "O' maduro, or the V, can't really say I like the nub..only had one, and wasn't impressed, it wasn't a BAD cigar, just didn't impress me, and liek it has been said, for that price, I can buy a cigar that does indeed impress me.Quote:

They suck, end of story. Next.

Like many, I got my hands on some various Nubs when they were introduced, of maybe the dozen I got intially, I think there are still 6-8 still in my cooler. While to me they are not disgusting, when they sit with different company in my trays, I always seem to go for the others. For me they just don't do the trick (and I do think NUBS are a trick), especially for the price. Many more sticks out there for the same range that are more complex and less of a gimick. I'm not a gimick kind of smoker. I like the tried and test, they must fit in somewhere. Welcome
I had picked up a sampler of nubs, guess I fell for the gimmick. They were ok, but I will second (or third?) what others have said about their price point. That being said, my wife thought I liked them and bought me more. They sit in my humidor and they seem to be what friends grab when we're having a smoke.
I agree with most of you. I do like the smoke (honestly), but the price is up there.
I actually bought the Habano 466's for $3.75 a stick from JoeCigar on Friday. My local cigar shop normally sells the 466's (specifically) at $7.00 a stick and that is unreal. The max I pay for any nub is around $4.75. Past that, I visit the other brands.
I'm definitely not an aficionado and that is why I am here. To learn.
Nub's are no value for the $$. The concept is ridiculous, imo.
If you think you have been flamed in this thread, I think you're gonna need a little thicker skin.
I hope you enjoy your stay, or not.
WOW, I felt a major ass-kicking coming on, but the kid recovered. Brillant !
Jamie,
I'm very proud of you ! You are becoming a much nicer to noobs member.
Im awake
Sure, now you wake up :smiley7:Quote:

As for Nubs, I have had a few. I think they are decent cigars personally (I like a short smoke) but I agree they are way over priced. I am sure you will find some other sticks that you really like as you sample around.
Bite me, newb. :smiley44:Quote:

It also won't be something geared towards the likes of metrosexuals that "want to play pretend" cigar aficionado because they want to look like real men.
Your first comment makes complete since, however, your second comment is just plain ignorance. I do appreciate the opinion though.Quote:

Don't blame the poor new guys that view your forum, see how you flame everybody, and then "expect the best" when they don't do what you expect them to do. Make rules, guidelines, and people will follow them.Quote:

After waiting nearly a week to have my account activated, I've clearly seen this place is not for me. It appears that their are several good people on board and a few asshats I'd rather not deal with.
Admin. Please delete this account. I will not be back.
Booo fuckin Hooo, panty-waist poser boy. Don't have the common sense to function appropriately without someone telling you how? LMFAOQuote:
