What is a Nub?
Oliva Cigar Co. and a former company sales rep have introduced a cigar innovation that is creating tremendous buzz. The rep is Sam Leccia, who has an inovative history in creating interesting niche prorducts.
After learning from the Oliva family how cigars are rolled in Esteli, Nicaragua, the Oliva family and Sam created “nubs”, which is a concept that seeks to deliver only that most enjoyable part of the cigar. The idea for the nubs came from the theory that a cigar finds its “sweet spot” at the 3 ½- 4 inch point. All “nub” cigars must exist within this window. No “nub” is longer than 4 inches. Further adding to this complex theory, the ring gauges range from 56-66. The result is a range of smokes that have the same amount of tobacco as any Churchill or even Presidente. Unbelievably, they also smoke as long.
NUB uses a blend of Nicaraguan filler and bindera and is available in 3 distinct wrappers.
HABANO (Rich and full bodied)
Habano Wrapper has always been the wrapper of choice for Cuban cigar makers. It delivers a robust, full-body flavor. It is the most complex of all wrappers. Our Habano wrapper is grown in Nicaragua as are all the long-fillers in this rich blend.
CONNECTICUT (Smooth and medium bodied)
Grown under the natural cloud cover of Ecuador, this Connecticut seed is light, and creamy. It remains a favorite of aficionados all over the world. You will be surprised at the complexity this wrapper delivers in the large ring gauges.
CAMEROON (Medium bodied)
Grown in Cameroon Africa, this wrapper has a distinct flavor and character. Cameroon Wrapper is thin and toothy, yet it delivers rich notes of cedar and coffee.
