What's New
|
Cigars this innovative are few and far between. Hub cigars are based on the principle that cigars don't hit their "sweet spot" till the last 3 to 4 inches. For that very reason you won't find a single Nub cigar longer than 4 inches. There are three blends of Nub, each featuring one size only available in that particular line.
Nub Habano is the fullest bodied blend of the three. The Nicaraguan Habano wrapper adds a punch to the Nicaraguan filler/binder blend. The Nub Habano 466 is exclusive to the line.
Nub Connecticut is the mildest of the three lines. Don't let the Connecticut-seed Ecuadorian wrapper fool you, though. The Nub Connecticut delivers an amazing amount of flavor and complexity. Tha smallest ring gauge they make, the 354, is only available in the Nub Connecticut line.
The Nub Cameroon delivers rich notes of cedar and coffee. They smoke medium bodied and have a distinct character. You'll only find the 466BPT (Box Pressed Torpedo) in the Nub Cameroon.

No. 4
Oliva Series V Torpedo
"Oliva cigars are known for flavor, but not power. To reach cigar smokers yearning for more muscular smokes, Oliva Cigar Co. (no relation to Oliva Tobacco Co.) released the Oliva Series V last year, its most full-bodied blend to date. The idea was to craft a stronger cigar that still has balance, and the result is a huge success.
The best cigar in the line is the Torpedo, which measures 6 inches long with a fat 56 ring gauge. The cigar is made with a high-priming wrapper that cloaks all-Nicaraguan filler and binder leaves. The cigar is stronger than other Olivas, but still in the medium-bodied range. The important thing is that the cigars are rich, teeming with coffee-bean and caramel notes, and have balance and finesse. The Olivas are buuilding a reputation for top-quality smokes that appear on our Top 25 lists."

A complex blend of tobacco with notes of rich coffee and subtle tones fo dark chocolate, the new Oliva Serie V delivers a full flavored taste while keeping an amazing smoothness. The filler and binder are Jalapa Valley Ligero and Nicaraguan, respectively. And the Habano Sun Grown wrapper adds subtle hints of spice throughout the cigar.
There are seven sizes available with two sizes also available in a Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro. The new Oliva Serie V should be available some time in mid-August. We have them available for Pre-Order right now.
