Cigar Review: Nub Cameroon 466 Box Pressed Torpedo

As most of our readers know, before this cigar, I had the opportunity to smoke both the Connecticut and Habano wrapped cigars from Nub, which I reviewed a while ago. My local cigar shop got a box of each wrapper in one day when I was there ( I am there at least 3 times a week). I immediately unwrapped the boxes of each, found room in the humidor for them, and demanded he tell me how much this cameroon was going to cost me. For the measly CA price of $7.99, I had the Nub Cameroon 466 box pressed torpedo in my hand!

Pre-light: I took the usual pre-light run across my nose and the flavors I got were some sweetness with some nice cocoa and coffee. I cut it with my trusty Palio, and took a pre-light draw. I thought to myself that this was possibly the best drawing cigar that I have had in a LONG time. I was anxious to light this thing up.

1/3: I lit this up with a triple torch supplied at the cigar shop. A triple torch is almost a necessity with a ring gauge this large. As I took the first few puffs, I could tell you that if this cigar continued like this, it was going to be my favorite Nub so far. I was getting some nice coffee flavors with some sweetness and spice on the palate. The smoke was abundant, and the ash was near flawless! I was really enjoying this smoke!

2/3: As I moved on to the 2/3 of this smoke, the ash was still holding strong, and I decided I needed to try a “nub stand” on the ash of the cigar. The flavors were great, still getting some sweetness and floral flavors, along with cocoa and coffee. I am REALLY enjoying this cigar, and once again, I am playing darts, but my attention is focused on the cigar, and darts take a back seat.

Sorry for the poor picture, it was taken with my camera phone.

3/3: As I am finishing up this cigar, I am getting more sweetness, with a bit more spice flavor, along with the floral notes. The burn is still perfect, which, in my opinion, is amazing, considering this cigar was just off the truck. The ash was knocked off by me at this point, as I didn’t want to get it all over me. The ash inside the ashtray was still sturdy, and I could pick it up between my thumb and forefinger.

Overall Impression: This is by far the best Nub cigar I’ve had to date, and I am glad that I have a box on order! If you have the chance to pick up just one, in any wrapper size, do it. This is a great cigar, and what Sam has created is not just a gimmick.
