I play alot of golf and will usually take a churchill or something similar just because of what you are talking about as far as length. A churchill will burn cooler and give you the amount of time you want while you play your game. Don't forget your cigar caddy. As far as the Nub goes it's not my cup of tea but I read so much of what others say about it and I wish I could get the same pleasure as they do. It's a good thing there are so many other brands out there. It's too bad you can't take a mulligan on a stogie some days.
