Default Nub,3 wrapper & 3 experiance

Nub cigar is among the cigar that i eyeing for quite a while... In Malaysia..where cc are not forbidden,its kinda hard to get nc cigar... the brand that available are just padron (a lots),oliva (rare),don diego,macaduno,davidoff, and another 2-3 brand that i dont think that you ever want to smoked them... and these cighar are sold in very ridiculous price...

don't get me wrong... i do love cc..its just that its freaking expensive...plus i would love to explore the other makers... so what choice do i have?god bless internet.



going back to nub... after receiving the cigar ,i put them rest for a moth..before i take them out and have a smoke... base on what i have read... i really put a high expectation for these sticks...

so here my very noob and novice review...

Nub Connecticut 354

this is my 1st nub,the wrapper show a flawless wrapper with out any visible vein... very light colour and light tobacco aroma when i running it under my nose... seem like it has a very thin wrapper... i pair this stick with soda and water

the draw has a nice resistance..just nice(i like a bit tighter)... first draw a get a hint of spice,then its dissappear then i can taste toasted butter...and some other taste ..maybe a cedar..or wood... a hint of coffee...but very light... remind me of don diego robusto..To me..this stick fall to mild to medium bodied cigar..



i got a lot and thick smoke...just the way i like it... the ash hold quite strong but when it came to have way... its started to bend or brake...you can see the picture... nearly toward the end i try to make it stand... but fail.. the foot just cracked a bit and cannot hold a stand...




for me,this stick is not up to my expectation... but i think i has a lot more to offer...i still have another 2 connie..might give a try after few months..
