Meet the NUB Cameroon 358 - a 3¾" x 58 Robusto Gordo that packs full-flavored madness into its chubby frame. This Nicaraguan puro wears an African Cameroon wrapper like a velvet glove, delivering medium-bodied satisfaction in under 60 minutes. Perfect for when you crave complexity but only have lunch break time.
The Cameroon wrapper opens with roasted hazelnuts and honey sweetness. White pepper tickles the nose - not the face-slapping kind, more like distant thunder. Draw resistance? Zero. This fat boy channels air like a wind tunnel.
Cedar planks emerge, dipped in caramel sauce. Nicaraguan filler brings earthy depth while Connecticut Broadleaf binder adds creaminess. Smoke output doubles - decent vapor production without fogging up the room. Ash holds strong for 1.5 inches.
Dark chocolate bitterness balances lingering sweetness. Mineral notes appear like gunflint spark, polarizing but intriguing. Needs purging at ¾ mark to counter tar buildup. Nub it at 40-minute mark unless you're chasing nicotine rush.
The dual binder system (Connecticut Broadleaf + Nicaraguan) explains the burn consistency. Triple cap holds firm even with aggressive puffing. Cameroon wrapper shows minimal veins - premium grade selection. Box date codes matter here; fresh rolls (2023+) perform better in final third.
Use 60-ring cutter or punch for optimal draw. Pair with bourbon-aged rum to amplify caramel notes. Morning smoke potential - doesn't leave palate wrecked for lunch. Not your grandfather's cigar, but he'd probably steal your last nub.
