  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Cigar: Nub Maduro (4x58?)

Cost: Unknown. These aren't available for public sale yet.

Drink: Coca-Cola (the best cola)

I went to the Nub Live Tour cigar event last night. I had to buy a box of Nub's in order to get the free Nub Maduro. I am not sure when they will arrive in stores.

Appearance: This has a maduro wrapper on it. There was no band yet because these weren't for sale yet. The appearance gets a 8/10 .



Taste of the cigar: This cigar is pretty rich. It was like smoking a chocolate bar! I picked up a sweet chocolate taste with just a touch of spice mixed in there.

Construction: Held an long ash as usual. All of the Nub's that I have smoked have held a long ash. The draw was good. The cigar required only a few small touchups, but I blame this on the heavy wind.



Here is a small nub stand. I could have gotten a bigger one, but I didn't want to risk dropping the ash on me.





Strength: This was a medium-full bodied cigar.

Summary: This cigar was very, very good. I nubbed the Nub. I will buy more of these in the future. This is my favorite Nub so far. I give it a 9/10.

interesting.

I wasn't too hip on the couple nubs i've had, but i'm liking maduros more and more these days, so i'll give these a try...when they hit the shelves.

thanks for the review.

Nice meeting you yesterday at the event! I smoked one of these yesterday and agree spot on with this review. I am a big fan of the Nub Habano and Cameroon, and this was loads better than those. It had some spice that was delicious! I didn't want to put it out...

Just heard maybe mid-May on these...

I didn't even know this was coming out. Thanks for the review. I liked the Nubs when they first came out, but got burned out on them real fast.

Finally scored one, but have yet to smoke it... I do look forward to sampling it however, just need to find the time to give it some attention.

I just so happened to have the chance to hang with Sam over the weekend... right place at the right time my friend. It seems you will only have to wait a couple weeks before they hit the store, unless you catch a NUBlive event before then.

Also got a wicked hand rolled (peep the cross) and a nice shirt as well:
