NUB Cigars!!!


Oliva Cigar Co. and a former company sales rep have introduced a cigar innovation that is creating tremendous buzz. The rep is Sam Leccia, who covered Ohio, Indiana, and Pennsylvania for Oliva since 2004. Sam came from the liquor industry where he was a partner in an award winning vodka.

After learning from the Oliva family how cigars are rolled in Esteli, Nicaragua, the Oliva family and Sam created “nubs”, which is a concept that seeks to deliver only that most enjoyable part of the cigar. The idea for the nubs came from the theory that a cigar finds its “sweet spot” at the 3 ½- 4 inch point. All “nub” cigars must exist within this window. No “nub” is longer than 4 inches. Further adding to this complex theory, the ring gauges range from 56-66. The result is a range of smokes that have the same amount of tobacco as any Churchill or even Presidente. Unbelievably, they also smoke as long.

Sam and Jose Oliva began experimenting with the concept in mid 2007. After hearing the sizes the no-nonsense Oliva Family was initially skeptical. The idea of a 4x60 or 4x66 sounded like a novelty to them. It was not until the family tested the concept and was able to see and smoke them that they understood that this was no novelty. They realized that there in fact was something that had not been done in this business. It is truly an innovation which has the ability to have one revisit wrappers that they may have had long since formed opinions about. Understanding that not everyone is in love with large ring gauges, you have to first grasp the theory of “nub” because in the world of “nubs” a 60 is not a large ring gauge. The only real way to understand it is to smoke one. The cigar starts at the sweet spot and gets better from there. The large ring gauge allows for a dense ash which insulates the cigar keeping it cool as you smoke. The large amount of smoke also allows you to really enjoy the complex flavors.

Sam’s excitement really grew on the Oliva’s as they began to experiment with the concept. After experimenting with hundreds of sizes and samples they felt ready to support the project. While the cigar is made and distributed by Oliva, it will be promoted by Sam Leccia.

The cigar will be launched in three wrappers: Habano, Cameroon, and Connecticut. There will be three sizes shared by all wrappers plus an additional size which is unique to each wrapper. The flavor range is from mild to full but always complex and hearty.

Now available at The Cigar Factory Outlet so stop in and smoke one today!!!

Scotty's Cigar Review - Isla De Cuba Cigars

Isla De Cuba Cigars



I have to admit,I was a skeptic. I did NOT think the Isla De Cuba cigars were going to be all that great. I LOVE it when I am proven wrong!


Construction: Very well built cigars. The natural Connecticut and the Connecticut broadleaf maduro are both beautifully wrapped. The maduro being the prettiest....all oily looking.


Draw: I have smoked a half dozen of these rascals and every one had an excellent draw. So much so as to make for a nice slow smoke.


Burn: Nice and even. The only time I needed an adjustment light was when I tended to power smoke it ( I couldn't help it...they are really good).


Taste: These sweethearts are smooooooooooth. They are medium strength with a nice
spice and black coffee taste and a touch of cedar. The maduro was just a notch higher in strength.


Aroma: Not overly pungent,but very pleasing to my shnozzola.


Finish: YES!! I told you I finished SIX of them! Actually the finish was not all that lengthy,but had a nice spicy linger to it.


All in all,I found it to be an extremely pleasant cigar for a mere $7.00 . I also think sitting in your favorite...(favourite for my Canadian friends)..humidor for a while will make these cigars go up a
good half smoke ring. On that note,I am giving it a PRE-sit-in-your-fav-humidor "O O O C" three and a half smoke rings!



That's all for now. Summer is coming,YAY! So as usual........

Scotty's Cigar Review - Ashton Aged Maduro

Today the reviewed cigar is a cigar smokers "Bentley". The Ashton Aged Maduro!
It is truly one of the finest maduro's available today. I may be very fond of strong cigars,but every now and then a special occasion comes along,and Ashton's are absolutely special!


CONSTRUCTION: Almost a work of art. Aged Connecticut Broadleaf tobacco wrapped flawlessly,all dark and oily looking. The ONLY thing missing was fire....and I had no problem supplying that!


BURN: It's burn was exactly like it's construction. Flawless.No re-lights needed. A nice even burn from start to stop.


DRAW: It never ceases to amaze me how a great cigar can be packed tightly with all of that fine tobacco,yet the sensation you get is much like drawing on an empty tube. A swimming snorkel should have a draw this good!


TASTE: With all of the hard core strength cigars I smoke,I have to admit it took a minute to relate to the almost delicate complexities of this cigar. Mild to medium in strength,this cigar just has this remarkable,
slightly sweet,woody,spicy almost cocoa like flavor. It has relaxation qualities that would seem to make Valium a part of the caffeine family.


AROMA: This smoke is very gentle on the nose. I would recommend one of these in a situation that called for "odor discretion". Chances are good that even people that HATE cigar smoke wouldn't have much to complain about. It's just a nice natural aroma.......about as intrusive as the smell of a toasty wood fire on a cold day.


FINISH: Its finish is much like its start. Mild but complex.


There are only a few cigars out there that really deserve top ratings( I mean TOP too)!
The ASHTON AGED MADURO gets all FIVE!! "O O O O O" smoke rings.


Well,that's it for now......and as always...
SMOKE 'EM IF YA GOT 'EM!

P.S. I would like to give Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard a salute and a handshake for his donation of 1,500 cigars confiscated in a drug raid to our troops overseas!
A great job and a great gesture in my book,Sir!
