Quick Smoke: Nub Maduro 460
28 Mar 2010
Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief verdict on a single cigar of “buy,†“hold,†or “sell.â€
Introduced one year after the original Nub, the maduro version features a Brazilian wrapper and Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos. This “short toro” (4 x 60) starts with a rough burst of pepper. Soon, though, it smooths out into milk chocolate, coffee, and roast nut flavors. Despite its short size, the 460 provides an hour of medium- to full-bodied flavors and excellent construction.
Verdict = Buy.
