The Nub cigar line was created by Sam Leccia and the Oliva family. After learning how cigars are rolled in Esteli, Nicaragua from the Oliva Family, Sam Leccia created "nubs", which is a concept that seeks to deliver only that most enjoyable part of the cigar.

The idea for the nubs came from the theory that a cigar finds its "sweet spot" at the 3 ½- 4 inch point. All "nub" cigars must exist within this window. No "nub" is longer than 4 inches. Further adding to this complex theory, the ring gauges range from 56-66. The result is a range of smokes that have the same amount of tobacco as any Churchill or even Presidente. Unbelievably, they also smoke as long.

The cigar will be launched in three wrappers: Habano, Cameroon, and Connecticut. There will be three sizes plus an additional size which is unique to each wrapper. The flavor range is from mild to full but always complex and hearty.
