Default Re: Nub,3 wrapper & 3 experiance

Nub Habano 460

i've been waiting to smoke this stick since it has a great review.
last nite i have the opportunity to have this stick.It was rite after dinner with my better half.i take this stick out..running it under my nose...give me a smell that remind me of cc tobacco smell... great... the dark wrapper remind me of my local cigar "de-kayang"..with dark and obvious vein through out the stick.But thats all...


the cigar is strangely lighter...compare to the other nub...toasted it and had a 1st draw.WTF! the draw is farking loose! like sucking the air through a straw! the worse is.. i just can taste a bit of spies then it disappears,left me nothing but a very harsh tobacco taste(if i can call it a taste)


the big disappointed begin.i drank water... purge a few times.. wash my mouth... drank another glass of water but it seems that i cannot get any taste beside the harshness...is this a fullbodied kick? i dont think so... i dont feel any kick at my head... .i smoked a few full bodied cc and i know this is not a full bodied kick..


unlike its brother... this stick cannot hold it's ash.it broke like a cigarette ash..the burn is uneven... and at one point its tunneling... how can it be... i put it in the same tupperdor with other nub... it can be because of the humidity.plus..it has certain area that feel very hard.it fell crunchy when i try to pinch it.not spongey like the other cigar.

i try to make it to halfway..but i fail..after 1 inch or so.. i decide to ditch this stick... what a shame.i really looking forward to this wrapper and end up with this big dissapointment.



am i get a lemon? i hope so,if not...its a total disaster for a big name like sam and oliva.maybe i give it another try .

i love oliva and i have high expectation toward this nub.luckily the cameroon is the savior.

so thats my noob review.credit to my friend for snapping shots for the connie stick and my fiance' for the habano shots(her dgcam).
