The NUB Connecticut 464T torpedo redefines quick smoke sessions with its stubby 4"x64 frame. This Nicaraguan-packed figurado comes in boxes of 24 at around $219.60, delivering concentrated flavors through its chubby shape that skips the "warm-up" phase regular cigars need. Perfect for coffee breaks or pre-dinner wind downs, it pumps out creamy nuttiness without overwhelming newcomers.
Immediate cashew butter and vanilla wafer notes greet the palate, with the wide ring gauge producing unusually dense smoke for a mild cigar. Baking spices emerge at the 1" mark - think cardamom rather than black pepper.
Cinnamon-coated almonds take center stage as the Nicaraguan filler shows its teeth. The creaminess persists but gains texture from faint oat graininess. Retrohale reveals white chocolate undertones.
Caramelized sugar peaks without turning cloying. A mineral edge (wet stone) balances the sweetness, while the last inch introduces baking bread crust notes. Minimal tar buildup allows nubbing without bitterness.
The Ecuadorian wrapper feels slightly toothy but burns razor-straight. Triple-seam cap holds firm despite the torpedo tip cut. Ash maintains 1.5" segments reliably. Box-pressed sides prevent rolling on desks.
