Meet the NUB Maduro 464T - a 4"x64 Nicaraguan torpedo that punches above its weight. This stubby figurado packs more flavor than most churchills, wrapped in oily Connecticut Broadleaf maduro. At under $10 per stick in 24-count boxes, it's become the "emergency cigar" for smokers wanting full-bodied satisfaction in under an hour.
Cold draw serves espresso grounds and damp earth. Initial puffs deliver dark chocolate with charred oak undertones. Expect visible oil rings on the wrapper as combustion reaches ½". Draw resistance minimal despite tapered head.
Flavor shifts to molasses-dipped leather with occasional nutmeg spikes. Retrohale reveals baking spices. Burn line stays razor-straight through this phase. Ash holds 1-1.5" before dropping.
Black coffee bitterness emerges alongside lingering sweetness. Smoke temperature stays cool despite short format. Last inch brings earthy mushroom notes - Nicaraguan filler characteristic. Total smoke time 45-55 minutes.
The torpedo cap requires precise punch cut for optimal airflow. Test box had 2/24 cigars with slightly lumpy bunching, but all burned evenly after correction. Maduro wrapper shows mottled coloration normal in Connecticut Broadleaf. Box code indicates 18-month aged tobacco.
