I will probably get some folks disagreeing with me here, as a lot of people have recommended these smokes to me, but I HATE "Nub" cigars. The only thing I like about them is that the ash REALLY hangs on there. I was smoking one the other day and I went to rest it on the ash tray (it was about half way smoked with all the ash still there) but dropped it before I got it there. The thing LANDED ON THE ASH but the ash did not break! Heck, it barely even bent. I didnt finish the whole thing, as it tasted like garbage, but I was impressed that the ash never fell off. I saw in a magazine that someone smoked one as far as they could and then stood it vertically on the ash and it didnt even fall over. Wild.
