Stubby cigars

[Guinness70]

ignore the marketing hype and try a few NUBS - they arent bad. depends what you want. I rate the sun grown as well as conneticut. they tend to be very open and easy to smoke.

Nubs are great indeed. Tasty.

I picked up a pack of Don Lino Africa's cigars in the state a few years back, which I paid 25 dollars for 10 which are around 60x3.5 which were surprisingly good for the price. Never seen any since anywhere though.

Not a major fan of the larger ring gauge cigars but seem the be the rage at the states.

This may be a stupid question but as I typically only smoke robusto or larger, I'm interested. Does, for example, a Partagas D6 have the 'flavour' profile of the latter two-thirds of a D4?

Not in my opinion Anz. If you enjoy Partagas the D6 is good when time, to enjoy a smoke, is tight.

It's sooo big! (That's what me bird said...)

... they tend to be very open and easy to smoke.

As long as you have a giant pie-hole!

Sweet Thing!

The whole marketing concept of Nubs was that the final third of a cigar is supposed to the best so lets sell a cigar that is just the final third.

Yeah, I never really understand the theory of making a cigar that hits the so-called "sweet spot" (last third of a stick) from the get-go. Odd.

Having said that, I do enjoy a wacky NUB every now and then, mostly the Connecticut (medium) and Habano (Full) wrapers.

Living la vida loco, I guess.

Seen a few people smoking those nubs, 3 1/2 by 60 ring, like sucking on a chode

The final third is the best because smoking the first two thirds has made it that way so the concept is clearly a load of b**llocks. I think you can safely apply that concept to the D6 and similar Cubans. Incidentally I've just bought a five box of D6, I'll try to get one smoked and give you an opinion.
The only thought that springs to mind is that if its the same blend it might age quicker?

Thanks all for recommendations!

Flying Pig was already on my last, but I'll definitely pick up a few NUBs now too

The NUB'er

I have tried the NUB Maduro and enjoyed it until the massive nic hit, which made me feel incredibly ill in a short space of time. I have a Connecticut in the humi and have heard that they are the best in the range but am a little fearful of the nicotine!

I've had the opportunity to enjoy many stubby NUBS and agree, the Connecticut is the best of the bunch. I seem to remember the Habano wasn't too bad either.

One of the best NC stubby cigars is the Drew Estate Feral Flying Pig... A beautiful powerful smoke.

Take it slow on a full stomach and drink something sugary, it counteracts the nicotine somewhat
