Nub

[597]

I have smoked some. Nice cigar, burn for a good while to.

Lots of flavor/smoke. Truth be told they were not "hot" until the nub, no pun intended.

So my question is would you rather have the full size Olivia or the Nub?

Hey James, did you get any change-ups during the smoke or did it stay pretty much constant in the flavor profile? Curious of about the whole "sweet spot" thing.

Interestingly, with the exception of the first few puffs, it was pretty constant throughout flavor wise. The strength did change-up though. I do not buy the "sweet spot" theory myself. But this was a good cigar.

So my question is would you rather have the full size Olivia or the Nub?

I know you directed this to Guado, but I will chime in. I tend to lean toward smaller smokes. I rarely have time for a Churchill so I would go with the Nub. Plus this (the Habano line) had a better and fuller flavor than a standard line Oliva.

I will post my opinion on the Cameroon in the next week or so...

Had a cam. today. It had the same flavor all the way through. Also it wasn't an hour smoke, more like 35 min. or so. To me, it really seemed like an average Cam. cigar that was cut in half. Nothing special. I'm going to try the Conn. in a day or two and the Habano is back ordered so I'll try one later.

All in all, nothing special. Sweet spot? Nope, like I said, it is a cigar cut in half.

I like all cigars....I never lean towards one or the other. It's just a matter of what I feel like smoking at that very moment. I know that doesn't help but there ya go.

The habano line supposedly is the same blend as the V...this information was given to me by someone very VERY close to the Oliva people...

Wasn't it created by somebody who used to work for Olivia but now doesn't? I didn't think this cigar had any direct ties to Olivia.

Created by one of their long time reps, Oliva backed the rep up 100%. Oliva tobacco, rollers etc.

Yep, Sam Leccia......he was a rep for them and I believe that Oliva helped him get it started up. If like Guado said, one of the blends is the same as the V, it would somehow have to be related to Oliva.

Cool. Thanks guys.
