Nubs

[shawn.knight]

I ordered some Nubs and I think I like them...I got em from Serious Cigars and recieved them here in Iraq in about 5 days....How's that for great shipping...So it's offical I now know why people rave about em...I think I smoked about 3 within about a 5 hr span...6 of em left....

I tried to get these pics to the Nub site, but the computers are blocked for the Live Site. So no Nub contest for me..Plus I forgot my username and password....It's one of those days I shoulda stayed in bed....

dang! That's a lot of smoking! LOL but I have to agree with you, nubs are definitely one of my favorites.

they are having a contest over on the NUb site for pictures of Nubs taken in different spots around the world. Here's a link to check it out... http://nublive.com/forum/t849-nubtes...s-the-nub.html

They are some good "little" cigars aren't they.

They are pretty dern good. I like the Habano the best.

The NUb Cammie BPT is my favorite, of course these two in my avatar might be my favorites if I ever actually smoke them. They're hand rolled by Sam Leccia.

I've never had one before but, if they are as good as everyone says they are one of these days I might try a couple.

Yup and I'm puffin on one right now!!

I must be the odd man out on this one. I have tried the Habano which was just so-so at best and the Connecticut which got tossed about a quarter of the way in because it was just that unbearable for me. I have a Cameroon sitting in the humi but to be honest I am less than anxious to try it after the unimpressive results I have had thus far. I still have a bunch of Habanos left too, and actually sending out a 5er today to someone who has yet to try them but I will still give them another chance as I never write a smoke off right away but again not in a hurry since there is so much other stuff sitting in my humidor that I know I will truly enjoy. This just goes to show the greatness of this hobby of ours. We have such a great selection of smokes from such a wide variety of manufacturers and countries that no one is forced to smoke what they don't really enjoy.

To each his own, thats for sure but I would like to know what it is about them you didn't like.

The flavor profile overall just does not do anything for me. Just not my cup of tea I suppose. The Connecticut and the couple Habanos I have tried started out a little harsh at first which is not a deal breaker but the taste just never developed into anything that I found enjoyable. The draw on these were a little on the loose side for my liking but definitely not a deal breaker. Also keep in mind that I keep my cabinet between 66-68 RH and everything else smokes fine. I am being fair as I am letting a few more rest and will try them again as I find it hard to totally write off a brand with only a few samplings. It's also not too often I smoke something that I can honestly say I did not enjoy at all and the Connecticut was one of those rare cases. Normally if this were to happen I would say my palatte must have been screwed up that day but I lit up a Taboo Exotic Maduro II after smoking the Connie and I absolutely enjoyed it so I can't even blame it on my palette. Don't get me wrong, Visually these sticks look great and are very well constructed true to Oliva fashion but flavor profile it was a swing and miss for my tastes.
At the same time it probably was not a good idea to have one of my very first posts on a new board be a negative review on a stick that everyone seems to like but I tend to be honest by a fault. Hopefully no one takes it personal.
