Nub Nuance Triple Roast 354 3 3/4″ * 54

Nub started from a simple idea: most cigars hit their sweet spot an inch or two in, so start there. Nuance is the gentler side of it, and the roast names mark how dark each blend runs.

A Sumatra wrapper covers Nicaraguan binder and filler, medium to full in body. Expect earth, cedar, coffee and a faint sweetness. At 3 3/4 by 54, it burns cool and even.

Dutch machine-made cigars ran on Sumatra wrapper for over a century, and the leaf’s reputation for burning clean and even comes from that: a machine cannot tolerate a wrapper that runs.

Pairs well with coffee, espresso, or porter.
