NUB Sun Grown 464 Torpedo

Produced by Oliva in Nicaragua, this puro with its atypical format (torpedo 4×64) and pointed head is intriguing at first sight. Its brown leather wrapper, lightly veined and textured to the touch, announces a cigar with character.

A controlled and generous start. As soon as it is lit, the draught is optimal, offering an immediate volume of smoke. The first puffs reveal woody notes, which are quickly overtaken by an animal touch that develops over the course of the first third. The power remains well balanced, allowing the intensity to build without aggression.

In the second third, the animal aromas intensify before combining with smoky notes of sandalwood. The whole begins to heat up slightly, a typical development for cigars of generous calibre. Halfway through, toasty notes enrich the aromatic palette, marking a turning point in the tasting.

The third third brings a new dimension with the appearance of nuts, which soften the cigar's profile. The animal and roasted flavours gradually fade, giving way to a lighter finish.

To counteract the rise in temperature, we advise you to take your time. The Nub Sun Grown should be enjoyed slowly to maintain a good balance between intensity and aromatic development. Its solid construction and generous draw make it a pleasant cigar, ideal for an intense but accessible break.

An experience to be recommended to lovers of cigars rich in character, with a fine progression of flavours from start to finish.
