Robusto (5x50)
Wrapper: hybrid of Cuban-seed and Connecticut-seed grown in Ecuador(hence the name)
Filler: Blend of Nicaragua, Peru, and Dom. Rep
Binder: Dom. Rep

This cigar has a fairly light brown wrapper. Slightly veiny but smooth to the touch. The aroma of the unlit cigar was mildly sweet and woody. The cap clipped cleanly and the pre-light draw was a little tight and tasted like a stick.

After toasting the foot I puffed and the draw opened up a bit. A giant cloud of light grey smoke was produced with every puff. The smoke that was produced had a sweet creamy tobacco scent.

At first, the flavor was slightly spicy, and tasted of wood and mild leather. The spice dropped off about 1/3 into the stick and the taste of wood became more smokey(i.e. like smoked meat). The smoked wood flavor and leather stayed relatively the same for the rest of the smoke. Towards the end the spice came back and slowly built up until I put it down. The spice never became big in flavor, but was a nice complement to the smoked wood and leather. I wished that the cigar had this spice the entire time. This cigar is considered a medium-full bodied smoke, but for me it was more like a mild-medium. The ash burned pretty even and held up strong.

Over all, this was a decent smoke. Not very complex, but had a nice mellow refreshing flavor to it.

Belicoso (6x54)
Wrapper: Honduran Talanga Cubano
Filler: Dominican, Nicaraguan and Brazilian
Binder: Mexican

This cigar was thrown at me by a fine botl. Btw, DW, the mail carrier pulled through. He will never deliver another package again, but at least he got a nice pension out of it.

The construction of this cigar was excellent. The wrapper was oily and toothy and a very dark brown. pre-lit the cigar smelled like sweet leather. The pre-light draw was clear and tasted earthy.

After toasting the foot a sweet smell of cooked cherries. The first raw threw me for a loop. It tasted like baked apples. That only lasted for 2 pulls. Then a taste of sweet leather and nuts started with a spicy finish. About 1/2 down the leather taste dwindled down to almost nothing and the general nutty flavor became a more specific hazelnut taste. At this point the spice finish stopped and became a coffee flavor. With 1/4 of the stick left the hazelnut taste became stronger and creamier. The spicy finish came back but with avery different effect. The new spice flavor was very sharp and left my mouth with a menthol sensation. It didn't taste anything like menthol but it gave me the "cold" sensation that menthol would. From the first draw, this cigar produced a ton of bright white, thick, creamy smoke that smelled like roasted hazelnuts.

The cigar burned a little uneven, but it didn't cause any issues. The ash was a bright grey and held on very strong. It lasted about 3.5 inches before falling off. The draw remained cool for the entire smoke.

Thank you, DW, for allowing me the experience of this creamy smoke.

I've had a few of the Olor Fuerte in the 6 X 60 size, very nice smokes, indeed!

Great review bro!

Wow, appetizers, hors dourevs, the main course and dessert all in one smorgasboard cigar! You might need a cigar after this cigar.

3.75x58
Wrapper: Habano - Nicaragua
Binder: Nicaragua
Filler: Nicaragua

Drink: Blue Point Toasted Lager

The construction of the cigar was very good. It had a smooth brown wrapper. The pre-light draw was clear and tasted grassy. It smelled sweet and grassy.

When I first lit this smoke, I was looking forward to a great smoke. It started off very spicy and grassy. And stayed that way for the entire smoke. I was pretty disappointed. No change ever took place for the entire 3 inches that I burned. The cigar produced a ton of white billowing smoke that smelled sweet and earthy. Actually, my favorite part of this cigar was the aroma of the smoke. Overall, it was a dud for me.

I won't put up the money for this cigar again. There are much better smokes in this price range IMO.

I've tried the connecticut wrapped Nub as well a few months ago and wasn't impressed with that one either. Maybe I'll try the Cameroon one day, but I'm not going to go out of my way for one.

Nice review. Maybe you got a dud. I found the couple of NUB Habanos that I smoked to be not too shabby. Reminded me of the Oliva V all in all. I do not buy into the short and fat "sweet spot" concept and would not go out of my way to get a box of these borderline novelty cigars, but I would give this line a solid B/B+ rating.

Thanks for the review! I was in a box split for these when they first came out. (Yup, fell for the hype.) We went for the "unique to wrapper" sizes (IIRC), 354 Connecticut, 466T Cameron, and 466 Habano.

The Habano was the only smoke that I enjoyed. Of the four that I had, two were nothing special, one was pretty good, and one was very good - like slcraiders says, reminiscent of the V.

As for the Cammie, I might as well have been smoking an Oliva Serie G Belicoso (which makes sense in hindsight). I wouldn't bother if I were you.

One thing with the Nubs that I smoked is that they were all consistent all the way through - so in that sense, the theory works - there don't appear to be "thirds" to Nubs.

Good review!
