Love these Nubs! Anybody else?

I'll second that on the even burn as well, I have had maybe 10-12 nubs in three months maybe from the local B&M no issues what so ever.

The size is very convient you can put twice as many in your travel humidor then a normal stick. I always have at least 4 in my travel box I always run into one guy on the golf course that has yet to smoke one so I always carry extra you never know what someone will trade ya for one.

Good point! Great travelers!

Nothing gimmicky about good taste, great burn, and an enjoyable smoke at a great price!

Maybe I had a dud down at the twinne shop in philly, but I didn't care for the Nub I had.
I agree that it is kinda gimmicky.
The burn was nice as I remember, but the flavor wasn't there.

That's great that you found a go-to cigar for yourself, but I'd be willing to bet if you hang here long enough, you're going to be corrupted way above & beyond Nubs.

Your opinion, and mine differs. That's cool.

I've smoked a couple of these that've been gifted to me by some generous BOTL's, and while they are not bad cigars, I do not see buying any personally. They do seem like more of a marketing campaign than a good cigar. And, although they're not at the high end, they're not really cheap either. IMO, there are better cigars for less money.

I tried a couple when they first came out. Their "hook" was that the best part of any cigar was the center so Sam Leccia, a rep for Oliva, thought he'd cut to the chase and just take what he claimed was the best part of the leaf (the center) and roll a cigar out of it. He reasoned that it would make the cigar smoke well from start to finish. He launched it with what I considered a lot of hype, with claims that it would change the way the world thought of smoking a cigar, or something to that effect.

In my opinion any cigar has to develop as it is smoked. There are no shortcuts. I agree with Basil and Ashauler. It's an OK cigar, but mostly a marketing gimmick and too expensive for what it is.

But if you enjoy them and feel they're worth the asking price, that's OK. We all smoke what we like.
