Nub maduro tubo

Don Fernando · 09-08-2011, 12:27 PM

I did review the Nub maduro before and I wasn't a big fan of these, probably due to the 60 ring size, which I am not a big fan off. But when my friends at Studio Tobac shipped two Nub maduro 460 my way to show off the new tubos I decided to write another review, just so that I can post pictures of the fantastic tubo. Funny side story, I had seen the tubos before the European Oliva distributer had seen them, so I gave him one. Once I removed the lid I see that the tubo is sealed with a piece of tinfoiled cork to keep the cigar fresh, smart thinking by the people at Studio Tobac.

The wrapper looks dry and has a nice chocolate color with two veins. The cigar has quite a strong barnyard smell and a nice, firm construction. The cigar is well made and finished. The wrapper is quite thick and the predraw is fine.

I taste coffee and wood with a sugar sweetness. The cigar is quite spicy too. After half an inch I taste dry wood which is very mild musty and quite sweet.

Halfway I taste dry wood with herbs, the cigar gets even sweeter but the sweetness isn't sugar like before. Near the end I taste wood with an earthy flavor, the sweetness is gone but I do taste some herbs.

This cigar lasted me an hour and thirty-five minutes. The draw is a bit on the loose side but I got great smoke. The burn is great too and I get firm white ash. This cigar is medium flavored and medium bodied.

Would I buy this cigar again? Probably not, but I dig the tubo!

I really like these cigars. Working from home today and I just finished smoking one, funny that this thread would pop up.
I think you desdcribed it well, anything with the taste of coffee is okay by me. I don't mind the 60rg it just feels right on these NUBs. Mine wasn't a tubo though. Alot of people bash these because they think they will only get a short burn time but they really do last a while like you notated.
Thanks for the review!

I have 10 of these resting in my Tupperware right now, non Tubos of course.

I think they should make the tube longer and put 2 cigars in it!!!

Didn't know they came in a tubo... looks like a dessert!!!

Looks like a small piece of turd that they were able to cram into a tube.
