🎯 Cigar of the Month — December 🍂

🥃 Featured Cigars

• Nub by Oliva — Maduro 460, and

• Nub Nuance Triple Roast

All month long, these two standout Nub cigars are spotlighted in our humidor — ready to satisfy whether you’re in the mood for bold traditional flavor or a coffee-infused dessert smoke.

📜 Brand Background

The “Nub” concept was born with Nub by Oliva: short-and-stout cigars designed to deliver full flavor right from the first light. The idea was simple: “cut and light” — no long wait, no slow burn-in. Cigars Daily+2Cigar Country+2

Expanding on that legacy, Nub Nuance (formerly Nub Café) introduced flavored blends to appeal to smokers who love coffee and dessert-style cigars. The Triple Roast continues that tradition: marrying a premium cigar build with rich coffee and chocolate notes — a tasty alternative for those who enjoy a sweeter, aromatic smoke.
