Good thing really do come in small packages!
This is a great looking stubby cigar. The wrapper was very smooth and seemed to be very well made. the ring gauge was a bit large compared to what I normally smoke, but wasn't very uncomfortable. I feel compelled to say that most people think these Nub's are quick smokes-they certainly are NOT! This stick took a solid hour to smoke.
Pre Light-i took a cold draw of this and didn't think it would be anything special.
Upon toasting the foot with my torch the immediate flavor that came to mind was raisins. It tasted like toasted raisins, slightly sweet and reminded me a La Gloria Cubana Serie R no. 4 Maduro. In fact the two stick are very similar other than they are made with completly different tobacco's. The difference between the Nub Maduro and the LGC4 is that the LCG4 was much more harsh. this was a nice medium bodied smoke.
Around the half way point this stick let me down, mainly I got bored with it. the flavors didn't change other than more of a cedar flavor it held true to the original raisin flavors. The burn on this lie guy was excellent, no touch ups were needed and it stayed straight and even.
The finish I found to be a bit metallic, but it did intensify, although no more than the high side of medium. It was a fun smoke mainly because the ash got very long. It smoked well beyond the band holding a nice thick ash with a medium grey color. It was a good smoke, however not great. I would recommend trying it though.
