Quick Smoke: Nub Maduro 460
13 Sep 2009
Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief take on a single cigar.
At the IPCPR Trade Show in August, Nub creator Sam Leccia introduced the fourth blend of his popular Nub line featuring a Brazilian maduro wrapper. The cigar demonstrates classic maduro coffee and cocoa flavors with more subtle notes of creamy peanut butter and leather. The medium- to full-bodied smoke also includes impressive balance and classic Nub construction, with a perfect burn, easy draw, and an ash that only needs to be tapped off twice during the entire smoke. This is a must-try for Nub fans.
Verdict = Buy.

If this is anywhere nearly as good as the Nub Habano, then it'll be phenomenal
They are phenomenal, rich flavors, perfect draw…
The only issue I have is the price seems to have risen to that of a inexpensive full size cigar in the B&M's (about $5-7 NY area). I just find it hard to buy knowing Ill only get 30 minutes of smoke. Im not into quick smokes.
Online, you can find a deal on a box of course.
This is the best wrapper in the line imho.
