Nub Cigars

**lyc** · 03-23-2010, 12:30 PM

I searched the forum board and could not locate any references to the Nub cigars. I was just curious who else has nubbed it out and what your thoughts were? Frankly, I love the bloody things!

I guess that's an intro.....

I've had some decent Nubs, maybe one that wasn't so hot (I think it was the habano wrapper one), and as a result, I don't really go out of my way to find them. I feel they're a bit overpriced.

I seem to recall a decent amount of conversations about these. Not sure why search didn't turn anything up...

I think they suck...I'm really surprised Oliva bought into that line.

Elaborate a bit?

Yea, I used the advanced searched method searching the whole post for keyword nub and no matches found for me.

I think that is because the search requires the keyword to be more than 3 characters long...

so uh, welcome to the forum lyc - maybe try an intro? Man, I hope you aren't the Nub version of Steve Tabak...

ETA: Steve was the marketing genius who decided it was good marketing to lie to us by pretending to give an honest review of Pride cigars.

I don't recall see the location specifically for introductory posts. After reading through several forum posts (not necessarily intros), I decided to forgo any type of introductions. I noticed quite a few people would end up get flogged and flamed pretty bad so what was the point.

They are getting flogged and flamed for good reasons - sometimes because they didn't post an intro and then when they were asked to provide one they posted their attitude instead...

You can post your intro in this thread if you want, we consider this a community and it is considered bad form to just walk in and start asking questions without at least introducing yourself.

Search around a little more and you will see what I mean - there are many examples of good intros, and many, many examples of meltdowns.

And the flame kindles... I typical join a forum board and READ the stickies to make sure I don't miss anything. I did not see anything in regards to the whole "post a intro". Maybe you should kindly add that so that you do not observe attitude from possible new members?

I'll make a bargain, I'm at work and I'm frustrated. I'll revisit this later tonight.

Using the filet of the leaf is valid theory. The Nub is one possible solution, particularly if one's smoking technique lends itself to massive ring guages. I prefer other solutions.

Bungee post!
