This chubby 4"x64 figurado from Nub defies traditional cigar proportions. Packaged in boxes of 24 at $194.40, the Cameroon-wrapped smoke delivers concentrated flavors perfect for time-crunched enthusiasts. Its fat 64-ring gauge ensures rapid flavor development within the 30-minute smoke time.
The Cameroon wrapper introduces itself with brown sugar sweetness and floral notes. White pepper tickles the nostrils while the Nicaraguan filler produces visible smoke clouds despite the compact size. Combustion stays even with a sharp burn line.
Flavors intensify with roasted almond dominance. Retrohales reveal baking spices - cinnamon sticks and nutmeg - layered over cedar plank undertones. The ash holds firm for about 1.5" before dropping.
Cocoa powder emerges as the main attraction, though some smokers report slight bitterness from accumulated tar. The tapered foot maintains draw consistency until the nub stage. Expect moderate nicotine kick in the last inch.
The semi-glossy Cameroon leaf shows visible toothiness under light. Triple caps on the torpedo head demonstrate Oliva's rolling expertise. Our sample maintained 65% humidity for 45 days before smoking, developing slight plume on the wrapper.
Oliva's blenders combine African Cameroon wrapper (aged 18 months) with Jalapa Valley ligero fillers. The compact vitola was specifically engineered to skip the "warming up" phase traditional cigars require, delivering immediate flavor impact from first light.
