The Nub Maduro 460 is the dark, sweet member of Oliva's short-and-fat Nub family. At 4 inches by 60, it uses the Nub concept to deliver the flavorful "sweet spot" right away, wrapped in a dark, oily Brazilian maduro leaf that brings the rich, chocolatey notes maduro fans look for.
What it tastes like
A dark Brazilian maduro wrapper covers Nicaraguan long-leaf filler. The big ring gauge burns cool and accentuates the blend, giving dark chocolate and coffee, sweet cedar, and earth, with the touch of sweetness and mineral edge that makes this one distinctive. It's medium-to-full and rich from the first puff.
