Nubs

I have had several nubs and have never had this happen. The Habano is my favorite. I love that one. Sorry to hear you had a bad experience.

I had the same experience with my first Nub , but it was the Cameroon. Very annoying.

I am perplexed. I have never had a bad experience with a Nub. I have smoked most of the different varieties too.

Me neither, I have probably had somewhere in area of 10 nubs in all the blends and shapes and they have been perfect everytime. Now, I think 7 of them have been from a B&M and smoked immediately because they are what I get when I want a short simple good smoke, so that may be a factor, but I certainly would try at least one more before you judge them.

Maybe you had a bad match. - I've got quite a few nubs on hand, they've all burned well.

Echoing most everyone else, I've never had a bad experience with a NUB. Smoked probably 10 or so over the last year or two and loved them. Try the Connecticut - the best of them, in my humble opinion, and I typically am bored by Connys.

I've had a few nubs and actually have 12 more sitting in the humidor. I've had all good experience thus far. The Habano kicked my a s s on New Years day though, smoked it without eating a good meal prior. I had it at a B & M so it may have been the other cigars as well and not the nub. I really like them.

Same here. I have tried each Nub variation and never a problem,,,that I can recall, They always lend a good experience..I love the Habano and Maduro. Don't give up on them try another and see how it goes...these are typically good cigars.

I've had a few cigars where this very scenario happened. It sounds like it's quite the combination of variables rather than one sure fire answer. HERE are SOME threads from days of long long ago. Maybe they will help, maybe not. They helped me, so I offer them to you.

only problem i ever had with nubs was the one i had that had a red nylon string protruding from it ...and the Oliva's took very good care of me for that one ! Some of you old timers might remember that deal !!!

That was a pretty sweet deal Gene. Makes me remember the Nub Tampon joke, haha.

The exact same thing happened to me. I grabbed a Habano thinking it would be a good Wednesday night smoke and and kicked my butt. I was puffin away for about an hour then I stood up and almost went down. I hadn't eaten and wasn't really thinking. that was the first (and only time so far) time that happened to me... luckily I was alone so no one else knows about it...

I need to revisit the Maduro. I really didn't like the first one I had - and I love Nubs and I love Maduros. lol.

Yeah I agree, it had to be the match. (good one Edge.) Try another, Nub for me has always been a very good stik...if my memory serves me well...

sweetjd

I just bought myself a couple of nubs, I'm kinda excited to get them. I don't know how long I can let them rest.. trying to be patient.. so I've been buying two of everything, smoke one and let the other one age.. oh did buy some Vegas triple A, I hope there good, as everyone says they are ..

I've never had an issue with any Oliva cigars. Their construction has always been top notch.
