I've been wanting to try one of these unusual stubby stogies ever since I started seeing them in the pages of Cigar Aficionado.
Straight out of the cellophane I noticed the distinctive aroma of cow pasture. Seriously.
This stick is so fat that it takes an extra match or two to get it going. Very easy draw. Lots of flavor right off the bat. Initial flavors include a toasty leather with a slight salty taste on the tongue. Billows of smoke! Nice aroma.
This cigar is so big and fat that I was concerned about an even burn. Such turned out to be the case. This fat baby demands lots of attention. Ash is whitish, flaky and tough.
After about an inch the smoke became mild and creamy with an almost imaginary suggestion of fruitiness. Really quite nice! Despite the aforementioned drawbacks, the NUb is a good cigar and an enjoyable smoke. It may be short but don't let that fool you. Anticipate a full hour to thoroughly enjoy this smoke.
Long finish with pleasant complexities and woodiness.
Leaves me with a desire to try the other two varieties of this unique stick: Connecticut and Cameroon.

Cool. I have been eyeing those in CA also. I have not found them in the wild yet. They sound good. When I do I'll try one out.
