The verdict
The Nub Cameroon 460 is a balanced, medium-bodied smoke from Oliva's Nub line. It's a Nicaragua (New World) gordito wrapped in African Cameroon at 4 in × 60.
On the palate, expect cedar, coffee, and nuts, leaning earthy. Plan on roughly 55 minutes from light to nub.
It pairs naturally with coffee, pale ale, and iced tea. If you're newer to cigars, this is a safe, enjoyable pick.
Nub is Oliva's clever short-and-fat concept: the idea is that the most flavorful part of a cigar is its "sweet spot," so why not build the whole cigar around it. The Cameroon 460, at just 4 inches by a chunky 60 ring gauge, packs the tobacco of a much longer cigar into a stubby, fast-to-the-good-part format.
What it tastes like
A smooth Cameroon wrapper covers Nicaraguan long-leaf filler. The big ring gauge burns cool and accentuates the blend, giving cedar, coffee, and nutty sweetness with the gentle toasty spice Cameroon wrappers are known for. It's medium-bodied and flavorful from the first puff, with a typical smoke time of around 45 to 60 minutes.
Who it's for
