I won one of each of the NuB line in a contest..They have been in the humi for a week to 10 days before I was able to dedicate myself to the hour plus burn time I have seen others mention when it came to this line of cigars...Plus I really wanted to be able to concentrate and pay attention to the cigar...
Appearance - Lovely lol...nice dark brown...very little vein action going on imo...Very hefty...I can see where he (Sam L.) would say there is as much tobacco in a NuB as a churchhill cigar...No soft spots...Very well made cigar...Overall a cigar that is pleasing to the eye....
Construction - See above lol...very well made in my opinion...
Draw - Excellent...I used a punch as I dont have a cutter big enuff for this RG...pathetic but true lol...I was quite surprised the draw was so good for a cigar of this size....
Burn - Impressive...Once again regarding its size I was impressed...Took me a minute or so to get her going but once I did the burn was spot on...I did not have to correct it at all...
Ash - Excellent...Stayed on the cigar till I put it down...I even got it to stand about halfway through lol...Would have tried to stand it closer to the end but by that time the ash had a little "curve" in the shape....thereby throwing it a lil off balance when I tried to stand it...Did not think the wife would have appreciated a bunch of ashes scattered on her coffee table lol...
Flavor - Very nice...to me I tasted some chocolate and leather...maybe some woody flavors as well...As my pallete isnt the most developed I cant give a CA review lol...Overall for me it's flavor was outstanding...
Strength - Mild to medium for myself...Not too strong yet not mild in the way I consider say a Cusano 18 Double Conn. mild...Hope that makes sense all lol...
Problems - None that I could discern...but then again I am not an "elite" cigar smoker lol...
Overall - I loved the smoke...I didnt bust a vein trying to draw on the cigar...The flavor of the cigar was outstanding...The burn was great...The amount of smoke was very good...Even the wife enjoyed it when she took a "hit" lol...Stayed cool pretty much to the end...(3/4 of an inch for me) Then it started getting hot...And instead of possibly ruining the experience I laid her down in the ashtray to die an honorable death...Will be getting more of these once they become available...This cigar lasted me 1 hour and 17 minutes before I laid it down...
