Default Nub 460 Habano

Supposedly these cigars were made to have the flavors of the last third of a longer stick condensed into a smaller form factor. Im not a huge fan of the Nub form factor - if Im pressed for time Id rather some a corona or TPC. But I had to pick up a couple to see if they really did indeed capture the best part of a cigar right off the light.

If the best part of a cigar is bitter and sour tastes, they hit this one on the head. Unfortunately, I cant stand those flavors and they remained with the entire smoke. The initial light produced some pepper but that faded quickly into pretty much bitter nothingness.

Also, this nub of a stick required multiple relights despite several months of proper storage.

Not recommended, there are much better sticks for the price of these. I was really surprised as I like some of the other stuff coming from Oliva...
