Nub maduro

[borndead1]

HK3 forced one of these on me.

It's 4" long, RG is...let's see...freakin' FAT. I'd say 60 or more. In general, I don't really like super fat cigars (52+ RG) or super skinny cigars (under 38 RG), but eh...I guess I will try this Nub. It is my first Nub BTW.

Perfect draw. Pre-light draw is a nice sweet tobacco flavor.

First few draws...not bad. Reminds me of a 5 Vegas A. I don't like cigars this fat because they don't sit comfortably between my teeth. So in doing this review, I have to take a few draws, set the cigar down, type, then pick the cigar back up again.

About 1" in...the cigar is gone.
















Hehe...

The flavor of this cigar is not bad at all, it definitely has that "Nicaraguan bite" in the nostrils, but there's not much depth or dimension to the flavor. The finish is very short. Pretty typical maduro flavors, cocoa/coffee and a bit of spice. This thing throws off a lot of smoke. I don't really care for the aroma.

BAH!!!!! I tried to hold the cigar between my teeth to keep typing, and it shot right out of my mouth onto my keyboard!

This cigar tastes very similar to a 5 Vegas A to me, but with less flavor. Like a 5 Vegas A "Lite".

I only made it about halfway. I can't hold the cigar between my fingers, because it feels like it's gonna flip right out of my hand. I can't hold the cigar between my teeth, because it's just plain uncomfortable.

Final thoughts:

Meh...the blend is OK I guess, but the thing is just too damn fat. I can't relax and enjoy the cigar because it is cumbersome.
