The founder of Nub, Sam Leccia, was fascinated by the idea of creating a cigar that immediately developed its strength and flavor. Together with Oliva, Nub was born; it is thicker and shorter, thus developing fine and strong flavors from the very beginning to the end. Despite its short length, a smoking time of 60 minutes is not uncommon. This is a successful experiment that will delight any cigar smoker. Incidentally, "Nub" stands for "stump"—a more appropriate naming choice would probably not have been possible!
