Nub cigars started as an experiment. Many cigars are considered to hit their “sweet spot” about an inch or two into the burn. Instead of wasting your time, Nub cigars were blended for top performance from the first puff to the last. The short and stout vitolas in this line are delicious from the word “go” and their slow-burning tendencies mean they last just as long as a regular Robusto or Toro sized blend from other brands.

Nub cigars are produced by Oliva and offered in a variety of wrappers. Inside each cigar you’ll find top-shelf Nicaraguan tobaccos, but the flavor profiles vary greatly depending on the outside leaf. The Connecticut is smooth and creamy; the Habano produces tons of spice and cedar; the Maduro is like smoking a chocolate bar, and the top-rated Cameroon delivers a naturally sweet-and-spicy mixture that’s great any time of day. Whichever Nub you choose, know you’re getting some of the best Oliva makes.
