Today was a 5 Vegas Limitada 2008. First try with this one that I've had since getting it in a COTM package in December. This was a slow burning cigar with a tight draw, the ash was one that didn't hold on very well, but the taste the Corojo wrapper provided was the real pay off here. There was a unique sweet taste and peppery mixture which kept me interested throughout this cigar. Another 5 Vegas success.
Hey G.. Did you smoke that cigar after you pulled the string. How the hell did that get out of the factory? Very strange. It looks like a nylon fiber, maybe from the rope used to bundle the tobacco. Either that or dental floss ( yuck)
I had a Nub Habano Torpedo out on the deck with a friend in the warmer weather. Great flavor (although not nearly as full-flavored as the cammy). This basturd just wouldn't burn even (which is a problem for a Nub). I've got a few more Habanos on hand in different sizes, and I will look forward to having them as a solid cigar. I haven't tried the Connecticut yet, but that will probably be next.

I didn't know whether to smoke it or light the fuse and throw it! It is indeed a nylon feeling 'string" of some sort. It won't pull out by just pulling on it which leads me to believe it goes a long ways up in there. The piece hanging out is about one inch long. I'm not sure if I should pull it out,take it back to the b&m for a new one or contact Oliva. I'm torn between cutting it open to see how long or what else is in there or just getting a new one and never knowing ......I have a idea which way i'm leaning though .....
Smoke it and let me know what you think .. I'm sitting on almost 200 meters of nylon rope, plus another 100 meters of various nylon cordage. If that's good, I may branch out into smoking some dyneema/spectra and other new-fangled synthetics. You may have just discovered my way around this new tabacco tax
well, we got up the mountain OK, so we decided to celebrate by smoking our rope. That's how we got stuck. We had nothing left for the rappel.

lot 'o people end thier day "smoking rope" Duty ...or maybe this is the new Nub Nylon and we missed the promo....
Oh BTW have not smoked it and it was a Nub Conn not a Nub Cammie as I first stated ....I was so excited over my new found toy I forgot what the he-ll I was smoking ...hahaha
I didn't know whether to smoke it or light the fuse and throw it!
Heh. That's dang weird, gm. I'd take it back, then make them cut it open while you're there so you can see what it is.
that way , a new cigar and the mystery solved ....maybe...interesting to see what if anything thats attached to or if its just nylon string of some sort...

I would bring that tainted cigar back to "Smokes-R-Us"
and get a new one. I am pretty sure the shop owner will cut it open to see what is at the other end of that cord, and gladly replace it.

Hey Duty, now is your chance.. Check out the one day deal for Saturday. 5 Nub Connecticut 460 for 14.95
Not the greatest deal in cigar history, but still worth the low price.
Just polished off a Padron 1926. I swear, if I were filthy rich and didn't lose my ass on the stock market or to Bernie Madoff, I'd smoke these every damn day.
Just got back from a buddys house, we had a cookout. Started off with e Gurkah Regent for me, Royal Brigade, Symphony, CI Legends Cusano, Acid Kuba Kuba for myu buddies. I then had an Isla Del Sol, and then later an Onyx Reserve. I am pretty tossed right now because we drank (between 4 of us) a fifth of Chivas Regal, Johnnie Walker Black Label, and captain Morgan Private stcok. Feeling pretty good, gonna go to sleep now. Take it easy yall.

I've got 2 Connecticut in the humi right now. I picked up the sampler when they had it for $15 at checkout. That torpedo was the first out of that sampler I've smoked.
Got to smoke my second Nub yesterday. Still not impressed, seriuos burn issues. So I put it out, pulled out a 5Vegas A. Much better, made my friday much better. I think I will just put my Nubs in the aging humi and let them ride for a while.

Whats up everyone.Been lurking for a while and its time for my first post. Smoked a Macaundo maduro chrchill and hated it ha ha.Not much flavor and just not very good.Followed that up with the Ancient Warrior churchill which I alwasy enjoy.Rich and smooth with hints of coffe and a nice leathery taste/smell.Any suggestions on rich cigars that are smooth without any pepper.

I could be wrong. I'll have to check with the fem-care division of my company though.
You must have inadvertently gotten one of the custom-made cigars intended for Bill Clinton's private "box" ... hehehe.. I said "box"
