Default NUB Cameroon by Oliva

So, i got two of these is a cigars daily sampler and I smoked one a while ago and enjoyed it thoroughly. I just remember the toasty, nuttiness that i really loved. It also impressed me that for such a small cigar the smoke time was quite long. so with out further ado let's start the review!

Wrapper: A beautiful milk chocolate wrapper with no veins to speak of and a small bump on the cap but nothing to complain about

Draw: After a small V cut the draw is perfect




toastiness right away followed by nuttiness, hints of cocoa, coffee beans, earthiness, creamy finish, medium body, bread, white pepper, salt, Nuttiness has developed into an almond flavor,


earthiness, toastiness/breadiness, almonds, white pepper, slight hints of spice, hints of vanilla, slight saltiness, creamy finish still, body is medium to medium+,


earthiness, chocolate, salted almonds, toastiness, bread, salt, savoriness, pepper, a little bit of a mineral flavor going on as well,

Ash/Burn: Ash was white, well packed and just about perfect. Burn was even throughout never requiring s touch up

Final thought: I'll be honest and tell you I've never been a huge fan of nub going back to when they were first introduced so a recent nub I smoked that i still did not care for. This one on the other hand has changed my mind. I knew it would be different coming from Oliva though. I wouldn't say go out and buy a box right now but i wouldn't mind keeping a 5 pack on hand now and again. I would love to hear from you guys if you think there are other good cigars within this brand though. Anyways, I would recommend you at least go out and try these because it is a good cigars and it deserves a shot. I hope you enjoyed my review and have a blessed day! God bless you all!
