Which ever is closest is your match.
    According to the CI site the 4" x 60 is equivalent to a6.75" x 50 churchill. I'd love to try a couple of the 460 Connecticut.

    Take a look at the CI nub info here.

    Apparently simple math isn't CIs strong suit. The Nub has about 85% the volume of a Churchill.

    Also, it only has approximately 75% of the surface area making it require less expensive wrapper leaf.

    Smoked the Hab last night. Great balanced cigar with plenty of flavor. Construction, burn, and draw were all nearly perfect. Although short, this was a good 40 minute smoke.. ...nubbed the nub.

    somehow i get the feeling these will burn very hot and leave a harsh after taste. maybe this isn't true because of the thickness but still i gotta imagine its a hotter smoke than a churchill

    I have smoked some. Nice cigar, burn for a good while to.

    Lots of flavor/smoke. Truth be told they were not "hot" until the nub, no pun intended.

    Hey James, did you get any change-ups during the smoke or did it stay pretty much constant in the flavor profile? Curious of about the whole "sweet spot" thing.

    I picked up a cam. and conn. today. They are not as big (fat) as I thought they were going to be.
