Nub Cigars

 

Distinguishable thanks to their short yet portly shape, Nub Cigars was an experiment by Oliva Cigars under their creative wing, Studio Tobac. Launched as recently as 2008, the concept was a daring and unique venture.

In cigar community’s slang, a “nub” is the final part of the cigar with a characteristically strong flavour, which is sometimes smoked or discarded. Because of both their short stature and full flavours, it was a particularly apt name for the brand.

Today, Nub Cigars are almost considered a brand apart and their popularity has grown into a cult status. Although not a particularly orthodox cigar, Nubs have earned both the well-deserved acceptance and respect of their peers.
