Nub Cameroon 358 (Gordo)

COVID-19 Day 381: 2.0-Mile Cigar
 Cameroon, Gordo, NUb 358, Nub Cameroon 358, Oliva Cigars, Tabacalera Oliva de Nicaragua S.A. Finger-Burner! Wow! A great way to start the day! … Sweet Leather and Wood kept me company on this tasty 2.0-Mile Cigar Walk with the Nub Cameroon 358 (3.7” x 58. Gordo)

This is an “Affordable” simple cigar sans the subtle nuances and transitions of a more sophisticated cigar, but, this comes with plenty of satisfying flavors from the first puff until the Finger Burning end to my morning trek… It had been over a year since I smoked this cigar last, so I was very happy to get reacquainted with this smooth smoking cigar!

I think I need to have these in stock in the TupperDor for some future Cigar Walks!

This was my second experience with the Nub Cameroon this one was in the 358 (Gordo) size; my first (10.25.19) was the Nub 466 Box-Press Torpedo Cameroon.

As I stated in my first impression of the Nub 466 Box-Press Torpedo Cameroon, these larger ring gauge cigars just aren’t my cup of tea.

Especially with today’s experience… I will say that these cigars appear to be firmly packed… maybe too much so. Mine was packed that I was having a difficult time with its very tight draw. After trying to fuss with it by cutting more off the cap and eventually trying to poke through with a toothpick, I got tired of sucking on this thing… My cheekbones hurt now.

I could tell that there were some decent tobacco flavors in the Nub Cameroon 358 (Gordo), but it just wasn’t worth the effort.

Maybe next time as I recently purchased a sample pack that included a few NUbs.
