Nub cigars somehow manage to distill all the splendor of a great smoke into a single small package that packs some truly big flavors. Nub started as the vision of one tobacco pioneer by the name of Sam Leccia. Leccia was already a sales representative for Oliva when he had the idea to enhance the cigar smoking experience by prolonging the part he liked best. Hand rolling the prototypes in his garage, Leccia created Nub and presented it to Oliva executives. While they were hesitant at first, Nub soon took the world by storm, earning a 90+ rating from Cigar Aficionado.. The secret lies in its construction and composition, using a swath of specially aged and enriched Nicaraguan tobacco. Each Nub uses just as much tobacco as a typical Churchill, and even lasts the same amount of time, creating a smoke that is bursting with flavor in every second. For all the initial doubt Oliva had about Nubs viability, it has quickly established itself as one of the finest boutique brands in the entire world.
