The Nub Habano 460 is the richest of the everyday Nub wrappers. At 4 inches by 60, this short, stout cigar uses Oliva's short-and-fat concept to put you straight into the flavorful "sweet spot," and the Habano wrapper makes that sweet spot a full, satisfying one.
What it tastes like
An oily, chocolate-brown Ecuadorian Habano wrapper covers Nicaraguan long-leaf filler. The big ring gauge burns cool and accentuates the blend, giving cocoa, coffee, sweet cedar, and a peppery, earthy backbone. It's medium-to-full and rich from the first puff, with a typical smoke time of around 45 to 60 minutes.
