5 Vegas Miami Knuckle & smokes like it

has anyone had any of these? Well I have, I got a fiver from the devil site basically to try the shape 4x60.

I had never had a nub and I figured since I know I like the Miami blend I shouldn't be too dissatisfied if i don't like it and man I cant believe how much I don't. I like every other cigar vitola in this line but the thing burned like crap the ash would not hold (huge ash drops all over me) and it even tasted different. The only thing i can say that was good about this smoke is the fact it has a great draw.

Personally this has put me off from buying a nub now for sure. I prefer 44-50 corona gordas being my fav. All i can say is I dont like all these new Fat cigars I am not going to argue its just my 2 cents Everyone goes through fazes and even I was on a LGC Serie R big gage run for a while but now that I enjoy the wrappers and there are more Corojos on the market I tend to like that flavor the most.

This is all opinion here so go ahead and share yours on the subject. I would love to hear a nub lovers opinion or even more someone who loves the knuckle. Also I would like to ask those of you big gage smokers do you Punch or cut?

I have tried both with the knuckle and although i do not normally punch cigars (pretty much never but i have one on my key chain for emergency's.) I have found that the punch seams to help the burn. I think since the smoke is being drawn through the very center makes the burn stay straight as with a guillotine cut mine always burned terribly.

Thats my take on the cigar whats yours?
