Like many, I got my hands on some various Nubs when they were introduced, of maybe the dozen I got intially, I think there are still 6-8 still in my cooler. While to me they are not disgusting, when they sit with different company in my trays, I always seem to go for the others. For me they just don't do the trick (and I do think NUBS are a trick), especially for the price. Many more sticks out there for the same range that are more complex and less of a gimick. I'm not a gimick kind of smoker. I like the tried and test, they must fit in somewhere. Welcome
