Nub by Oliva Maduro

Since 2008, Nub by Oliva Cigars has built its reputation on one simple idea: get to the best part of the cigar faster. The Maduro might be the most satisfying expression of that philosophy yet. Rolled at Oliva's factory in Estelí, Nicaragua, a dark, oily Brazilian Arapiraca Maduro wrapper covers an all-Nicaraguan binder and filler core, giving this stocky 4x60 serious depth in a compact package.

Medium-full in strength, the Brazilian leaf opens with a wave of creamy dark chocolate and roasted coffee, then settles into toasted nuts, warm caramel, and a pleasant hit of black pepper on the finish. The sweetness doesn't shout, it just hums along nicely throughout the entire smoke. Whether you're pairing it with your afternoon espresso or winding down after dinner, add a few to your humidor today.
