Love these Nubs! Anybody else?

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.

Yah...I hear ya...and I agree with Ashauler that we can all have different opinions...no worries at all. Thats what makes cigars so enjoyable...there are plenty for everyones varying tastes.

Having said that...I just smoked a CAO Gold Maduro (Torpedo) last night while sitting around a fire and visiting with some friends...that was a very nice cigar! Sometimes...I guess the location, the company and occasion can really affect my opinion of a cigar...but that CAO was a really enjoyable smoke. And the Irish coffee's were a nice addition too!

I have not tried a nub yet. My first thought was, no way, too small. But then again I like big cigars. Perhaps it would be worth a try.
