Nub Cigars: Wrappers, Sizes and Blends
Nub is distinguished by a short, large-ring format rather than a conventional range of long Robusto, Toro, and Churchill sizes. Traditional Nub cigars are handmade in Nicaragua and offered with several different wrapper tobaccos, allowing the same basic format to be compared through Connecticut, Habano, Maduro, and Cameroon expressions.
Current Cigars N Cigars inventory also includes Nub Nuance, a separate flavored collection produced in the Dominican Republic in Corona, Petite Corona, Short Robusto, Gordo, and cigarillo formats. Separating the traditional Nicaraguan Nub blends from Nuance provides the clearest way to navigate the brand.
Nub Cigar Blends
Nub Connecticut
Nub Connecticut uses an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper and is handmade in Nicaragua. Current Cigars N Cigars selections include the 354, 358, 460, and torpedo-shaped 464. These cigars retain the short, large-ring construction associated with Nub while providing the lighter wrapper option within the traditional collection.
Nub Habano
Nub Habano uses an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper and occupies the fuller side of the traditional Nub range. Current inventory includes 358, 460, 464, and 466 formats, with the 466 extending the concept to a 66-ring-gauge cigar. The Habano wrapper provides a direct contrast with the lighter Ecuadorian Connecticut expression.
Nub Maduro
Nub Maduro uses a Brazilian Maduro wrapper and moves into the medium-to-full range. Current Cigars N Cigars inventory includes 460 and 464 formats, maintaining the same short, thick construction while changing the wrapper to a darker Maduro leaf.
Nub Cameroon
Nub Cameroon provides another distinct wrapper expression within the traditional Nub portfolio. Its Cameroon wrapper separates it from the Ecuadorian Connecticut and Habano selections and the Brazilian Maduro line while retaining the compact, large-ring construction that defines Nub.
Nub Connecticut vs. Habano vs. Maduro vs. Cameroon
Wrapper is the most useful starting point when comparing traditional Nub cigars. Connecticut uses Ecuadorian Connecticut for a lighter expression, Habano uses Ecuadorian Habano and moves toward fuller strength, Maduro uses a darker Brazilian Maduro wrapper, and Cameroon provides a separate African-grown wrapper profile. After choosing the wrapper, smokers can compare the available ring gauge and shape within that blend.
What Do Nub 354, 358, 460, 464 and 466 Mean?
Nub names many of its traditional sizes using dimensions. A 460 is approximately 4 inches long with a 60 ring gauge, while a 464 combines a 4-inch length with a 64 ring gauge and torpedo shape. The compact 354 and 358 formats measure approximately 3.75 inches long with 54 and 58 ring gauges, while the 466 extends the format to a 66 ring gauge. This naming system makes it easier to compare dimensions within the same wrapper family.
Nub Nuance Cigars
Nub Nuance is a flavored cigar collection that differs substantially from the traditional Nicaraguan Nub portfolio. Current Cigars N Cigars inventory includes Single Roast, Double Roast, and Triple Roast selections in several formats. Nuance cigars are produced in the Dominican Republic and include Corona, Petite Corona, Short Robusto, Gordo, and Tubos cigarillo sizes.
Nub Nuance Single Roast, Double Roast and Triple Roast
The Nub Nuance collection is divided into Single Roast, Double Roast, and Triple Roast expressions. Current inventory includes multiple sizes across the three variations, allowing shoppers interested in the flavored Nuance series to choose the roast expression first and then compare available cigar dimensions.
Nub Cigars by Oliva
Nub is part of the Oliva cigar portfolio. Traditional Nub cigars are handmade in Nicaragua and use the short, large-ring format that distinguishes the brand from conventional cigar dimensions. Although Nub is associated with Oliva, it maintains a separate identity through its compact sizes and Connecticut, Habano, Maduro, and Cameroon wrapper selections.
Choosing a Nub Cigar Size
Traditional Nub cigars concentrate substantial ring gauges into short lengths. Current selections range from approximately 3.75 x 54 to 4 x 66, including straight-sided and torpedo formats. Choosing a wrapper first and then comparing ring gauge provides the simplest way to select among traditional Nub cigars, while Nub Nuance should be treated as a separate flavored collection with its own size range.
