Nub Cameroon

4" x 66 Box-Press Torpedo $5.50

Wrapper: Cameroon  Filler: Nicaragua  Binder: Nicaragua

After hearing all the hype on this cigar AND having been such a huge Oliva fan...I thought that this cigar would be awesome.  Rather than wait for a cigar to develop and evolve, which typically occurs an inch to two inches in, the idea behind Nub was to specifically blend it to hit its sweet spot right off the bat and remain at its peak right through to the end. Each size is short and stout in stature. 

This cigar does get to the point pretty quick.  Normally it does take about 15 minutes for me to really start to enjoy a cigar.  They tend to start out a little bitter and then calm out quickly.  The thought.  I was honestly a little disappointed in the Cameroon.  It was a little dull for my taste.  I did purchase a sampler pack and will try the Habano and Connecticut.  

Cameroon - dark and leathery to the touch. A sweet, cedary smoke with an intriguing spice. The aftertaste is dry and toasty.  A medium to full-bodied cigar that's  smooth.  I guess I expected more from the Nub...
