NUB Connecticut 358

With de NUB, José Oliva, the ingenious mastermind behind Oliva, has created an unusual cigar that was previously unavailable in the cigar industry. A 60 ring gauge with a length of just 100mm. The aim was for the cigar to develop full strength and flavour from the very first puff.

The NUB is now available in many variations and the name stands for the wrapper leaf used. NUB means as much as stub. This is intended to emphasise that this cigar should be enjoyed to the very end.

NUB Connecticut

The  NubConnecticut cigars are short, intense cigars with much more flavour than you would expect from a cigar wrapped in a sweet and creamy Connecticut leaf.

What Cigar Aficionado says about it

"Thick and stout with a golden brown wrapper. The draw is open and easy, while the burn remains even despite its girth. It is woody and creamy with a peanut note and a little cedar. " Cigar Aficionado, 01/02/2022
