Smoked one of these this morning along with a nice espresso. Have to say,unfortunately, this is definitely not the best nub the UK has to offer as advertised. Certainly not the worst either but has a very 1 dimensional almost bland taste with a very open draw. Took 50mins to smoke and I was hoping it was going to go somewhere but never really took off. The burn was uneven and I had to constantly touch this cigar up. If compared to the Nub Cameroon I smoked last week this is a very disappointing cigar (the Nub Cameroon was lit once had a perfect draw and required no touch ups, Perfect) All in all not terrible but I wouldn't be rushing to smoke another.

I'm not a very experienced smoker and this is my first cigar review, but are my thoughts:
Flavour was very good, definitely made me more confident to try stronger cigars. Taste was very sweet and kind of creamy, which reminded me of toast, with occasional hints that were tangy or smokey.
The build was very good; well packed, firm and sturdy. The wrapper was in good condition, veiny without surface spots, that didn't tear or rip easily.
The only problem, possibly because it was so well-packed, was that it was tight on the draw and difficult to keep lit, but that might be a odd singular cigar or my own inexperience.
Overall, a very enjoyable cigar with good flavors, but maybe tight on the draw.

I had high hopes for this given many other good reviews and definitely was not disappointed. A fantastically smooth smoke all the way down with good body.
It had a nice slight spiciness to it as a well as hints of coffee beans and walnut in the flavour. Delicious.
Nice easy draw, burnt evenly all the way down and I did not have to relight at all.
I would highly recommend, great value for money and I will be buying again

Value for money is exceptional. I took the band off right away as it is a horrible cheap looking thing, but the actual cigar is a nice surprise. Very mild, burnt well, ash stayed on. If I wasn't such a snob I'd buy lots more of these, and I probably will (I just wont tell anyone!)

a quick note whilst I'm enjoying one of these cigars.
I'm about half way through and so far this cigar has really surprised me! I thought I'd check the price again to see if it was worth buying a small batch and was really surprised that this is under £10 (don't get any ideas Mitchell)
I'm finding them quite mellow, sweet but not sickly sweet! And the tiniest amount of spice! Just enough to give your tongue something to think about. The cap on mine was dry! Which was a little annoying but didn't deter from the overall experience. In future I think I'll store these out of their wrapper for a week or so.
Defeniately worth a go!

Having sat down in the garden and worked through this for 45 minutes last night I came to the conclusion that everybody who wonders why there is a premium for Cuban cigars should smoke one of these.
Essentially it is a fine product and the only issue most people will have is cutting the end off (its 60 ring gauge!). Fortunately the cutter which was supplied with the order it (just) up to the task.
Construction is excellent, holds its white ash very well and despite feeling well packed, has a good draw.
The problem is that there is just no flavour to it whatsoever, smoked it down to the label and it sadly remained bland from start to finish. Shame really because in many ways this is a good cigar, just not one for me.
