Nubs
didnt see much when I searched about nubs...
im realizing the experienced people here are spot on and there are quite a few cigars that change flavor/ body as they smoke, which btw is pretty cool. I read that nubs came to be as a way to capture the "sweet spot" in a cigar.
I want to try nubs as an experience but also as a nice time saver when I can't give a longer smoke the respect of going thru different flavor changes.
What are pros/ cons of nubs? What is estimated smoking time? What is a good sampler/ beginner selection?

I like them. They smoke for a surprisingly long time, however. So if you are looking for a quick smoke you may want to go with some of the larger cigarillos or a petit corona.
The Nub Cameroon, the Maduro and the Habano are quite tasty.“There’ll be two dates on your tombstone and all your friends will read ’em but all that’s gonna matter is that little dash between ’em.” -Kevin Welch2 -
Agree w/ Jay... they're good smokes, but not as short timewise as you'd suspect. But some of that is an individual's pace. I have some 4 x 44 RyJ's that go for an hour if I'm reading a good book, and have seen a brother on Vherf @Wylaff go through a Toro in less time than that. Some of it will also depend on how far down to the nub you smoke; if you stop with an inch to go, obviously a Nub will last less because it started with less.
As an aside, as much as I enjoy Nubs, I don't buy into their marketing of making the cigar with only the sweet spot. That's a bunch of hooey.

Yes indeed, the "sweet spot" pitch is just a clever advertising "lie". However, I have enjoyed the nubs. They are well constructed and tasty. A sampler would be a good idea.

Thanks across the board.
for "cigarillos or a petit corona" are the complexities/ quality the same as normal size ones? I think cigarillo and I immediately think swisher sweet.
Suggestions in that realm? I'm happy to try anything including very full body to about medium body sticks. Spice doesn't bother me but I am really enjoying the sweet/ smooth/ creamy variety of full sizers...0 -
Less binder and file end less complexity, but a lot more wrapper flavor"Cooking isn't about struggling; It's about pleasure. It's like sǝx, with a wider variety of sauces."

I dig the nubs when I take a "15" break and return over an hour later. I show them the cigar before I walk out and the silly bosses believe me."Come party with me in Tennessee for my birthday July we can smoke in the Smokey's."3

I'll probably get some boo's about this, but I absolutely love the 5Vega Classic corona. And I felt the aged fantastically.1

If smoked "attentively," a Nub lasts me about 45 minutes. I'm a fan, particularly of the Cameroon. Superbly constructed.Kipling was a wise man.2

I've never been able to 'buy into' that sweet-spot hype. I guess I'm just too much of a tightwad to pay full price for half a cigar.

Check out: ~$3.50/ea. Get one of the reps to match it. I'm sure they will. I'm not a fan of the Habano. The 4x66 Cammy is my favorite. The Nub Dub is my second. Not a huge connie fan but I do like the nubs.

I have only had the Acid C-Notes for Cigarillos and if you like floral's, then you will probably like those. They are actually pretty good.
Haven't had any of the Nubs though.

For a short smoke, I have tried a few of the cigar illogical sizes and I think the AF Cubanitos, Montecristo Memories, and the Padron Corticos are all good. They will never replace the fullness of their big Brothers, but they are pretty good when you are looking for a 15 minute break. Oh, and the Punch Bolos are good too.0

One of the first things that I've learned in the cigar world is that there is no such thing as a quick smoke:) I enjoy my cigars while sitting on my deck and enjoying the evening with my wife and a glass of scotch, and I love that my enjoyment lasts over an hour:)Long days and pleasant nights,

+1. That's exactly how I enjoy my cigars.
