Quick Smoke: Nub Connecticut 464 Torpedo
Saturday, September 6th, 2008Each 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.

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.
