Nub Cameroon 466 (Box Pressed Torpedo)

This was the first Nub that I had go bad on me. I straight cut this with my new Nub guillotine cutter that I won in a contest. Right away I could see that the cap was cracked and peeling. I can not tell if it was under or over humidified.

I smoked this on the patio while working on a Friday afternoon. Paired with cranberry and water.
the wrapper started peeling almost instantly. About 1/3 into it and the wrapper came completely off. If this was any other cigar I would have pitched it. But I love Nubs so much that I pinched the binder together as much as I could and I smoked it down to a nub. Not bad, even without the wrapper.

This was one of those cigars that knocked me on my butt for a bit afterwards.

From http://www.milantobacco.com:

The idea for the Nubs came from the theory that a cigar finds its “sweet spot” at the 3 ½- 4 inch point. All “nub” cigars must exist within this window. No “nub” is longer than 4 inches. Further adding to this complex theory, the ring gauges range from 56-66. The result is a range of smokes that have the same amount of tobacco as any Churchill or even Presidente. Unbelievably, they also smoke as long.

The Nub Cameroon Wrapper Cigar: Grown in Cameroon, Africa, this wrapper has a distinct flavor and character. The Cameroon wrapper is thin and toothy, yet it delivers rich notes of cedar and coffee. This Nub medium-bodied cigar is available in 358 and 464T formats.
