Nub Maduro 4 x 60

This is the last of my NUB mini haul and I have kept the darkest wrapper till last. Big fan of maduro wrappers and this is such a good-looking cigar. Sweet chocolate scent from fresh, once lit I found the draw was a little light but produced nice plumes of smoke. There were some very […]

Nub Cameroon 4 x 60

First impressions were that I have never had a cigar with such a light draw, it was seriously like an empty straw. I found because of this it was hard to light, smoke output was not bad though. Now this cigar didn’t mess around it was straight to the action with full flavour of pepper […]

NUB Connecticut 4 x 60

The light was flawless, […]

The wrapper is a dark reddish-brown, construction is great firm pack with minimal veins, really nice presentation. Cigar lit […]

Zino Classic no. 6 Robusto 50 x 130

More often than not I select a cigar with a darker wrapper like a maduro. This time I made a point not to do this because as you know you cannot judge a book by its wrapper… wait I’m going to be brutally honest I wasn’t overly excited about trying this cigar. From my […]
