Noticeable mineral and salty notes with hints of sweetness give this medium-strength cigar a uniquely must-try profile. Its dark chocolatey Brazilian maduro wrapper envelops a Nicaraguan binder and filler. The NUb Maduro is handmade in Nicaragua. The crafters of the NUb line realized that at 4 inches in length and between 58 and 66 rings, the "Nub" delivered almost instantaneous flavor upon ignition yet smoked for a similar duration (average 1 hour) as other cigars that, at least visually, appear almost double the size. The NUb Maduro 460 received a 90 rating from Cigar Aficionado.
