The verdict
The Nub Maduro 466 is a richer, medium-to-full smoke from Oliva's Nub line. It's a Nicaragua (New World) box-pressed torpedo wrapped in Brazilian Maduro at 4 in × 66.
On the palate, expect dark chocolate, coffee, and cedar, leaning sweet. Plan on roughly 60 minutes from light to nub.
It pairs naturally with espresso, porter, and aged rum. If you're newer to cigars, work up to this one rather than starting here.
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.
