Construction
The feeling I got from looking at Nub 460 maduro was stability and every day smoke. I didn’t have any thing to complain about and the wrapper had a slightly oily feeling.
Wrapper: Arapiraca (Brasilien) – Binder: Nicaragua – Filler: Nicaragua
Taste
Smell and cold draw
The wrapper had a slightly fruity fragrence while the filler had a scent of sweet hay.
Taste lit Nub 460 maduro
The flavors were the same from start to finish. The texture was creamy and the body was on the upper part of medium. The flavors that came in the beginning were a mix of fruitiness with notes reminiscent of vanilla bean. There was a sourness that made me think of lemon lemonade and a nuttiness that most easily reminds me of pistachio nuts. That is, the nuttiness also brought with it a light slightly buttery texture that complemented the creaminess. When I got in towards the middle of the cigar, a few more flavors came in, which was a bit shocking considering the size of the cigar. The flavors that completed everything were espresso, cocoa beans and fresh spices.The retrohalation was smooth and unusual brought with it fruity nuances.
After taste
The aftertaste was short and reminded of a light mixture of walnuts and pistachio nuts.
Body
The body of the Nub 460 maduro was in the upper part of medium.
Smoke time
Approximately 45 minutes.
Conclusion
Good quality. Prominent flavors. Suitable for the slightly more experienced aficionado or those who want to try out a body that is approaching full but is not there yet. Price vs taste vs quality is where it should be.
