Quick Smoke: Nub Connecticut 464 Torpedo

6 Sep 2008

Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief take on a single cigar.

I decided to test “Nub theory” with this Connecticut-wrapped torpedo (4 x 64) on a sunny morning with a cup of Kona coffee. (Interestingly, the Nub website doesn’t list this size, although they were being distributed at the IPCPR show, where I grabbed this particular stick.) The medium-bodied flavors of this stubby little smoke melded perfectly with the coffee, featuring a smooth creamy base with cocoa and a touch of cedar. The construction was also impressive, with the distinctive firm solid ash.

Verdict = Buy.

    I like the Nub idea but find them problematic in execution. Almost too big in the mouth, I find they slip out easily especially the torpedo shapes. Also, when you get towards the end the tend to get hot simply because of the ring gauge.
