New WorldEverydayNub Habano 466
The Nub Habano 466 — a 4 x 66 box-pressed torpedo by Oliva with an oily Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, packing rich, medium-to-full flavor into a stubby shape.
The short answer
The Nub Habano 466 is a richer, medium-to-full smoke — a Nicaragua box-pressed torpedo with a Ecuador Habano wrapper. Expect cocoa, coffee, and cedar.
The verdict
The Nub Habano 466 is a richer, medium-to-full smoke from Oliva's Nub line. It's a Nicaragua (New World) box-pressed torpedo wrapped in Ecuador Habano at 4 in × 66.
On the palate, expect cocoa, coffee, and cedar, leaning sweet. Plan on roughly 60 minutes from light to nub.
It pairs naturally with espresso, aged rum, and porter. If you're newer to cigars, work up to this one rather than starting here.
The Nub Habano 466 is the box-pressed torpedo version of Oliva's richest everyday Nub. At 4 inches by a massive 66 ring gauge with a tapered, pressed head, it takes the short-and-fat Nub idea to its fullest — maximum flavor from the cigar's "sweet spot" in a wide, stubby format.
What it tastes like
An oily, chocolate-brown Ecuadorian Habano wrapper covers Nicaraguan long-leaf filler. The huge ring gauge keeps the burn cool and slow, drawing out cocoa, coffee, sweet cedar, and a peppery, earthy backbone. It's medium-to-full and rich, and the pressed torpedo head gives a focused, concentrated draw.
Who it's for
This is a bold everyday cigar for fans of big ring gauges and fuller flavor. If the tapered head is new to you, how to cut a cigar covers a clean opening, and the cigar strength guide places the body.
Track it in your humidor with the Casa DNC app. For a milder, creamier Nub, try the Nub Connecticut 354.
