The Cigar Spy

NUB CONNECTICUT

Strength: Mild to Medium
Wrapper: Connecticut
Binder: Nicaragua
Filler: Nicaragua
Style: 460

The look of the cigar is extremely weird. It looks like a big toe or a d size battery (as I mentioned before in my Habano review). The wrapper is beautiful, very smooth and oily. It’s in perfect condition and it really couldn’t get any better.

On the smell, the wrapper gives off a very nice woody and cinnamon aroma. The foot smells really light, but very sweet tobacco. The pre draw was very good, not to loose, just the way I liked it and didn’t leave any aftertaste on my palate, which is okay.

The flavors start off with a very soft sweet leathery taste followed by a grassy like aftertaste. The sweetest remains for the rest of the smoke (which is not a lot) and remains grassy and earthy. It’s not the most complex flavor you’ll find in a cigar, but its still good. There’s nothing over the top and theres nothing lacking, its an all around good cigar. I think for a mild to medium smoker, this is a perfect cigar when it comes to flavor. Us full body smokers, might not enjoy the flavors so much. Its a little on the light side.

One great thing about this little chubby cigar is the amount of smoke it gives off. There’s tons of smoke coming out from the cigar and it provides tons of aroma, which is very sweet. The burn was very good, but the ash was a little flaky. Overall I would say the construction was really well. The ash could’ve been a little better, but its okay and not a big deal.

At the end of the day, the Nub Connecticut is pretty decent/good cigar. My only problem is, I don’t see the point of smoking this cigar. It just feels weird to be smoking a awkward sized cigar like the Nub, when I much rather smoke a Londsdale or better yet a Corona Gorda. But then again, its all about personal likings. I get more pleasure out of smoking difference sizes.

Do I recommend it? Hmmm … Why not? If you are looking for a morning smoke or a 12 in the afternoon smoke or a mild sweet cigar you might like this cigar a lot. If your looking for something in your humi to give you a 45 to an hour smokes, go for it. Besides, at the end of the day we all enjoy different things and you have trust your own palate.

Final Grade: C
