Nub Maduro 466

The Nub Maduro 466 is the box-pressed torpedo version of Oliva's dark, sweet Nub. At 4 inches by a huge 66 ring gauge with a tapered, pressed head, it pushes the short-and-fat Nub idea to its limit while keeping all of the rich maduro character.

What it tastes like

A dark, oily Brazilian maduro wrapper covers Nicaraguan long-leaf filler. The enormous ring gauge keeps the burn cool and slow, drawing out dark chocolate and coffee, sweet cedar, and earth, with a distinctive touch of sweetness and a mineral edge. 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 maduro for fans of big ring gauges who want dark, rich flavor without a long commitment. If the tapered head is new to you, how to cut a cigar walks you through it, and our Maduro vs Connecticut breakdown explains the wrapper style.
