The Nub Connecticut 354 — a short, fat 3.75 x 54 by Oliva with a mild, creamy Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper and big, smooth flavor in a small package.
Flavor profile
Creamy · Earthy · Roast
The Nub Connecticut 354 takes Oliva's short-and-fat Nub concept and gives it a mellow, creamy Connecticut wrapper. At 3.75 inches by 54, it's a small cigar that smokes like a much bigger one, getting you to the flavorful "sweet spot" right away.
What it tastes like
A smooth Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper covers Nicaraguan long-leaf filler. The big ring gauge keeps it cool and brings out a creamy, buttery profile with almond, cedar, and a light coffee note. It's mild-to-medium and very smooth — a gentle, easygoing smoke with no bite.
Who it's for
This is a great beginner cigar and a perfect short, mild smoke for a coffee break. If you're just starting out, our Maduro vs Connecticut breakdown explains where the Connecticut wrapper sits, and the cigar strength guide helps with the mild body.
