My first Nub

Had the Connecticut Nub tonight...some thoughts...
Tough as hell to get started...had a nice middle burn but had to relight to get the whole thing going.
Nice flavor...toasty..
Burned a little uneven
Stronger than I expected...maybe because I haven't eaten much today but this one hit me a little.
Believe it or not the middle third was the best for me...and the final third...the first third was just ok
Smoked it to the nub
Overall it was fine but not one that set my world on fire...

now that I think of it "toasty" does come to mind.
i should pick one of these guys up again.
Schwing!
Cha Ching !!!
I like the larger ring sizes better than the smaller ones. (Of course I have a 1/2 box of Conn 354 hanging around, the smallest ring guage)
I split a box of Nub Maduro and I think they need a few more weeks of rest on them before I pull out another one to smoke
I had a box of 354's then got another box of 358's. Yesterday I got a box of Maduro's. My NUB-idor is half Maduro and half 358 Connie's and my big humidor hold the 10-15 mixed NUB's that couldn't fit in the smaller dedicated NUB-idor any longer.
I definitely say try another and hopefully one that's rested a while in a good humidor. Both are great smokes, burn very well, lots of smoke and overall are very enjoyable. The Habano and Cameroon are good but just not for me. I still have some of each I need to smoke so who knows, since they've been resting for a while, they may be even better now. All are very smooth with great flavor. On an empty stomach the Cameroon might hurt you though; it did me. LOL
The Maduro however, is addicting!! And, depending on where you buy, they are marked way up compared to the others, but no everyone is marking them up like that. They are a few $$$ more per box but you don't need to be paying anywhere near $5 or more for Maduro's. It's finding places that have started getting them in finally, or in stock. My favorite online sources have been good luck.
