COVID-19 Cigar Walk, Day 713: 2.75-Mile Cigar
A hilly 2.5-Mile Cigar-Walk was had this morning, climbing 331 Vertical Feet (31 Stories) with this Nub Cameroon 460 (Gordo) by NUb / Oliva Cigars… Whew!
I’ve come to appreciate these specially designed and blended cigars that promise to deliver outstanding tobacco flavors right off the bat (and they do). At first, I thought these NuB cigars were kind of gimmicky, but now I see they have their purpose; especially on my early morning treks.
Until next time…

COVID-19 Cigar Walk, Day 632: 2.75-Mile Cigar
It was a Slick Cigar-Walk this morning with this delicious and Sure-Footed Nub Cameroon 460 (Gordo) by NUb / Oliva Cigars.
I hope everybody travels with caution this morning… there are still some icy spots on the walkways and on the roads… Don’t take anything for granted out there!
Anyway, a wonderful experience with this worthy companion on this cold morning walk!
Until next time…

COVID-19 Cigar Walk, Day 597: 2.75-Mile Cigar
Brrrr… it was 29°F (-1.7°C) on this morning’s 2.75-Mile Cigar-Walk with this generous gift from BOTL Curran Fouts aka @pdxTravels in this African Cameroon wrapped Nub Cameroon 460 (Gordo) by Oliva Cigars.
I’m impressed! I don’t normally choose a NuB as my first choice to smoke, but that may change soon… “Sam Leccia (cigar blender) – came up with an entirely new concept in cigar making that begged the question: What if you could start smoking your cigar at the point where it has the richest amount of flavor and strength? Made by Oliva Cigars in Estelí, Nicaragua, in 2008 that concept became reality with the release of the Oliva Nub selection.” From Famous-Smoke Cigar Advisor.
True to the promise of this concept… immediately upon being lit… those “sweet-spot” tobacco flavors came forth on an earthy, slightly nutty, slightly sweet ride. I had a similar reaction to my smoking experience with its Cameroon sister in the NuB Cameroon 358 Gordo.
I just may have a new “Darling” to add to the TupperDor… Thank you, Curran!
