Nice...are they reasonably priced sticks?

Man...Alec Bradley has some intense bands on his smokes. They look like they should run on batteries.

The nub had flavor right out of the gate and it stayed lit, no burn issues and it was a nice smoke all the way to about an inch, then my lips caught on fire, and it was getting pretty leathery and peppery.

If you are able to find one to try, go for it, you won't be disappointed.
Call Mike at Leaf and Ale, he might have some left over from the Nub event.

Haha, if you cant stand your old NUBs, send em to me!!

I've had one Cain maduro before (not the nub) and it was so-so. I'll have to find the Cain Nub as I do enjoy the NUB line. Maybe I'll be like you and be hooked!

LOL MJ!!
I am hooked bad bro. I really love the Nubs. Over at CigarPlace.biz you can get 20% off nubs all the time and they have decent pricing to begin with. Go check it out. They have 20 percent off all oliva stuff, checkout their specials and they have a bunch of discount codes in there. Just put nub in the promo code box in the shopping cart.
You can get those boxes of nubs down quite a bit on the pricing.

Huge fan of the Nubs too...I'm sad that they get so much flak here but I can understand how the marketing can be a turn off. But I'm not going to force my opinion on somebody and tell them that they have to enjoy a specific cigar Everybody has their own tastes.

I do have a box of the Maduro 464's en route right now from a recent CigarMonster deal, should be here Monday. Expect pictures then I'm looking forward to trying a Cain F Nub, since I like the Cain line as well. But right now my fav Nubs are the Maduro and Habano.

So, Holt's just sent me an email for JdN Antanos Beli's, 89 bones a box with free shipping on the entire order. Why do they do this to me. I haven't had any of those yet but have heard they are great cigars. The sale is only over the weekend, the price looks really good!!

Yup, I agree, marketing aside, I really like the taste of them. But some people may not like them, that's cool. Everyone has stuff they like and stuff they don't. That's what makes us humans being!! That's all that matters, it's my tower, my hour of smoking, etc. It's all about to each his own on what makes us happy. Nubs make me happy!!
Like these JdN's that just went on weekend blitz at Holt's, I wonder if those will make me happy. The price has me smiling.

All full bodied smokes Mac! Can't wait to try those Intenso's and Turbos. Got a box of the Intenso Torp's coming next week. You and I seem to have the same taste in cigars Mac. A friend of mine keeps telling me I got the cigarbug bad. He's right.

Nice score!

4 out of 5 I've tried, 3 out of the 4 I've tried I'd recommend. The Cask Strengths aren't bad but they are medium at best, nowhere near full. MOWR, Intensos and Perdomo Limited Reserves are all solid smokes IMO.
