Cigar reviews NUB Connecticut 464 Torpedo Cigar Review cigarobsession.com http This 4×64 stick offers a medium tan, firm, thin stretched wrapper with minor visible veins and seams. The aroma is a very faint tobacco and it has a smooth velvet texture. First light revelas an easy draw, plenty of smoke production giving flavors of grass and nuts, with an oily smooth, long finish. By 10 minutes in the flavors settled to a mild-medium bodied creamy nut flavor with a touch of pepper but no spice. Those exact same flavors carried through the entire stick ending with about 1″ left at 45 minutes. The only shift was in the heat of the smoke, getting too hot for my taste just past the band. Thank you very much to Michael Yamashita for sending this in for review! Photography by BG Pictures.

I wasn’t a huge fan of the Nub Connecticut when I smoked one, I really loved the Nub Camaroon, though.
still veryyy gooooood
you gotta try the Java by Drew estate
What a small cigar.
it seems like you enjoy medium to full bodied cigars more I was wondering if you could review the nub maduro
I was wondering when you’d do one of these for review. Really nothing special there. The habano or maduro ones are better
Good review as always, Bryan. You helped me decide to pass on this brand. I figured the “sweet spot” was pure marketing. My theory is that the “sweet spot” effect is the result of a build-up over time of various intrinsic elements that only comes from a full-sized vitola. Length is requisite to develop the sweet spot and that is IF a sweet spot even emerges. I do think NUB’s look great and the label design is one of the best, IMO.
You know that sounded funny the moment I said it! lol Thanks for the reminder/correction
Very nice still photos at the beginning and great video quality. Very nice format.
Interesting, my experience with thick ring gauge cigars is that they burn cooler than thinner rings because the extra ash protects the cherry of the coal. The exception to this might be loose construction…
Good points about the “sweet spot” theory. “Just a short, large ring gauge cigar.” That has been my experience too.
BTW, ring gauge is measured in 64ths of an inch with a 64 ring gauge cigar being 1-inch.
Hi Bryan
Thanks for the review, I’ve been wanting to try the Nub cigars.
Cheers
Brian
