Oliva
Cigars unveiled in 2008 a daring and unique concept that meant a true
innovation in the world of tobacco. It was the NUB line, short but corpulent
cigars whose blends capture the perfect essence of a conventional sized cigar.
These
interesting cigars, handcrafted from densely packed long fillers, were
developed by the master blenders of Oliva, in Esteli, Nicaragua, under the
responsibility of Studio Tobac, the brand's creative unit.
In the
community of cigar smokers, the final part of the tobacco is called
"nub", where its characteristic flavor is usually concentrated, which
is smoked or discarded depending on the taste of the smoker. Calling these very
short and thick cigars NUB, was very appropriate to convey the idea that their
small format offers a full-flavoured experience that is possible because they
develop their optimal flavor much more quickly than conventional ring cigars,
which burn more slowly.
With that
concept in mind, the NUB series was designed and hand-rolled to produce that
traditional "sweet spot" from the first puff to the last. Of course,
not only the format counts, the quality is guaranteed from the excellent
Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos wrapped in several wrappers from different
parts of the world, all capable of accentuating the flavors and qualities of their
excellent blends.
The result
was a conceptual cigar, capable of giving those who smoke it the best possible
experience. Coming in a variety of profiles, NUB cigars are instantly
recognizable because their short, thick shape gives them an unusual,
bullet-like appearance.
Considered
one of the most innovative cigars in existence, NUB is made with five different
wrappers -Connecticut, Habano, Maduro, Cameroon and Double Maduro- at Oliva's
large factory in Estelí, Nicaragua.
The first
in the series was the Connecticut, launched in April 2008 with enormous
success, followed by others in subsequent years. Since then, NUB has experimented
with a wide variety of vitolas ranging from 3 3/4" by 58 ring gauge to
4" by 66, although its classic format is 4" by 60.
In our
store you will find available in their various formats, two of the most
appreciated capes of this prestigious brand:
NUB Cameroon. A medium-bodied cigar with rich
notes of oak, cedar and coffee, which gives it an intense but very pleasant
aroma that makes it be considered one of the best-smelling cigars on the
market. Although they are bold cigars, they manage to perfectly harmonize that
boldness with a certain sweetness that leaves an intriguing spicy aftertaste.
Her draw is excellent and the smoke is buttery smooth on the tongue, with hints
of leather and spice.
NUB
Connecticut. A
cigar with a very smooth and silky wrapper texture and a pleasant visual
appeal. It usually starts out sweet and smooth, with slightly spicy and creamy
notes of cedar that resemble the taste of chocolate. In essence, it is a
medium-bodied and slightly sweet cigar, characteristics that, together with its
short size, make it excellent for smoking in the morning.
Today, NUB
Cigars are considered almost a unique brand and their popularity has become
almost a cult and, although they are very bold cigars, they have earned both
the acceptance and respect they enjoy.
A
successful experiment that became the favorite of many. Try one of these
exquisite cigars today and enjoy your experience with them.
