Roger,
I had a similar experience with some Nubs I had early on. Particularly the Cameroon. However, I’ve had a few more recenly, and they were great smokes. It’s possible you got a cigar from one of the “rushed” (quoting an unnamed source here) early batch.

Joseph Wahl,
It sounds like you had the Cameroon, if you got sweetness and spice with a bit of power. In terms of power, I’m told the cigars go Connecticut, Cameroon, Habano, weakest to strongest. However, I didn’t notice much difference myself, strength-wise, but I think I like the Cameroon best in general.

I had a chance to try one of the new Nub cigars last night, not sure which Conn or Cam, however, it was outstanding! Started out with good full bodied smoke and spice, but really took off in the last third. This is really a powerhouse at the final! Very similar to some really good Cubans I have smoked. Vanilla flavors and POWER! My head was actually spinning and this was after a full meal. I haven’t had that reaction since I smoked the original LaGloria Cubanas Torpedoes. I highly recommend this cigar.

Well I tried the Cam yesterday. I wasn’t impressed with the construction, before I had smoked half an inch the wrapper had split and fallen apart. I’m going to try the Conn that I bought tonight. Hopefully it will hold together better.

I tried NUBs yesterday in both Cam and Conn and I do have to say they are excellent. The compare favorably with the Serie V that I love and I have ordered a couple boxes to add to my humi.

I strongly recommend you try them.

The logo Leccia ultimately decided on is interesting, I think, because of the brand message and Oliva’s reputation. Oliva has some high-end offerings, and with the “smoke a cigar to the nub” message, I’m not sure if the red, white and blue logo they chose is sophisticated enough.

Any word on the Nub’s different offerings?

Quick update, according to information on now live NubLive.com forum, the official launch of this cigar begins in April. (A lot sooner than I expected!) Sam will embark on a 50 event tour to introduce the new line.
