The verdict
The Nub Cameroon 466 is a balanced, medium-bodied smoke from Oliva's Nub line. It's a Nicaragua (New World) box-pressed torpedo wrapped in African Cameroon at 4 in × 66.
On the palate, expect cedar, coffee, and nuts, leaning earthy. Plan on roughly 60 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.
The Nub Cameroon 466 is the box-pressed torpedo in Oliva's short-and-fat Nub line. At 4 inches by a huge 66 ring gauge with a tapered, pressed head, it doubles down on the Nub concept: maximum flavor from the cigar's "sweet spot" in a stubby, satisfying format.
What it tastes like
A smooth Cameroon wrapper covers Nicaraguan long-leaf filler. The enormous ring gauge keeps the burn cool and slow, drawing out cedar, coffee, and nutty sweetness alongside the soft toasty spice that defines a Cameroon wrapper. It's medium-bodied and rich, and the pressed torpedo head gives a focused, concentrated draw.
Who it's for
This is a flavorful everyday cigar for fans of big ring gauges who don't want a long sit. If the tapered head is new to you, how to cut a cigar covers a clean opening, and the cigar strength guide places the medium body.
Track it in your humidor with the Casa DNC app. For a darker, sweeter Nub, try the Nub Maduro 460.
