As some of you may know, I started with Oliva about a month ago taking over half of Sam Leccia's territory. The reason I was hired was becayse Sam has created his own cigar line, "Nub Cigars". Nub's are manufactured by Oliva at the Oliva factories in Nicaragua, and distributed by Oliva reps, however, make no mistake, this is Sam's line and he is the one behind everything your about to read.
So what is a Nub Cigar you ask?
The idea of a 4x60 or 4x66 sounded like a novelty to the Oliva family when Sam brought it to them early last year. It was not until the family was able to see and smoke them that they understood that this was no novelty. They realized that there in fact was something that had not been done in this business. It is truly an innovation which has the ability to have one revisit wrappers that they may have had long since formed opinions about. Understanding that not everyone is in love with large ring gauges, you have to first grasp the theory of nub because in the world of nubs a 60 is not a large ring gauge. The only real way to understand it is to smoke one. The cigar starts at the sweet spot and gets better from there. The large ring gauge allows for a dense ash which insulates the cigar keeping it cool as you smoke. The large amount of smoke also allows you to really enjoy the complex flavors. There will be 3 wrappers, a Connecticut, Cameroon, and Habano, 4 sizes in each wrapper. Each wrapper will also have a unique size only for that particular wrapper. So what do they look like?
Now that you know a little about it, lets move on to the launch.
Nubs will be launching in April with 50 nationwide Nub Launch Parties in which Sam will attend each and every one. What can you expect at the Nub Launch Party? Just that, a PARTY. Sam will be there handing out Nub swag, hats, t-shirts, etc. Also, at each event, Sam will be rolling special limited edition Nub's that will be unique to that particular event, not to be had any other time. What's a launch event without crazy give aways right? Nub will be raffling off a 2008 SuperCharged Mini S Convertible. One winner from each of the launch events will go into a final drawing where the car will be awarded. The 50 award winners from each account will receive a prize for being a finalist. Finalists have a 1 in 50 odds in winning the Mini S Vert. The Mini S will be at each launch event.
I hope you all enjoyed the information.
In the mean time, you can check out www.nublive.com for much more information. I hope you all are as hyped up for this launch as I am. It's going to be a crazy next couple months, but it will be fun. Start requesting Nubs in your local shop now so they become aware of them. Have them contact their Oliva Sales Rep for more detailed information.
