It's smoke time again here in BFE Afghanistan. This here is a Nub maduro 358. Got this little dude in a Nub Sampler pack from CI. Once again, this is suppose to represent the "Sweet Spot" of a cigar. still don't get that philosophy. Shit, if it is a good gar, then make it bigger dammit.
Pre-light: To me, this is the best looking Nub out there. Awesome dark brown wrapper, tight almost invisible seams, and tiny veins. Smells of a rich earthy tobacco.
Cutting/lighting: punch cut and light up with no issues. First tastes are a nice deep earth with lots of creamy smoke.
First 1/3: Just delicious! Same flavors but a nice pepper coming in on a long finish. Great smoke output and a nice burn line. Draw is wonderful.
Second 1/3: Same flavor not much changes at all, which is good because I dig the way this stick tastes. Burn line got a little off and required some attention but no biggie. Strength is a solid medium.
Final 1/3: Same yummy flavor all the way. This dude was bad ass. I smoke this thing until there was nothing left to hold. Camein at just over an hour.
Overall: Love this cigar, I just dont get the "Sweet Spot" thing. If this dude was a bigger stick, I would smoke the bejesus out of them. In saying that, there will be no shortage of these in my humidor when I get back to the States. Sky Soldiers!
