Sorry, can't recommend anything at all similar to the nubs.

I've never really liked Connecticut either, I had the Nubs a couple years ago and didn't like them, but maybe I'l have to try them again

Maybe it was a real Connecticut shade grown wrapper instead of the seed tobaccos grown elsewhere.

Bummer you didn't like the nubs man. They lasted anywhere from an hour to 1 1/2 for me...favorites were the maduro, and surprisingly the connecticut. They are still a little pricey, but worth it in my opinion.

Today I was smoking the 'Ashton Heritage Puro Sol"........that cigar straight up wow'd me. That review is on youtube now. if you haven't tried that ashton.....WELL WORTH IT.

NUBs - I think they are the poor man's Padrons.

I have smoked a Padron 1964 Anniversary and a Nub Maduro and the flavor profile is close, maybe due to the Nicaraguan fillers in both.

Yes they aren't cheap, but I would still cash out for two of these for the price of 1 Padron

Personally, I'll take quality over quantity any day.
