Nub Plus....Are you kidding me?
 

Got an email today from cigar.com touting the newest in cigar technology from Oliva, the Nub Plus cigar. Take the Nub Habano, add an inch to the length and voila!!!, the newest Nub. I can't see this as anything new or exciting and no way would I call a 5 inch cigar a Nub. What are your thoughts?

Re: Nub Plus....Are you kidding me?
 

I guess a 5" nub is all what your prospective is.:sl

Re: Nub Plus....Are you kidding me?
 

True dat!

Re: Nub Plus....Are you kidding me?
 

Sounds like a new craze, the Nub Robusto. Could be an earth shattering concept. (sarcasm)

Re: Nub Plus....Are you kidding me?
 

come on oliva, put some effort into a new lancero or figaraduro rather then just adding an inch to someone elses idea

Re: Nub Plus....Are you kidding me?
 

I wish they'd be more open minded. Not everyone likes jawbreakers like I do. And try a new blend.

Re: Nub Plus....Are you kidding me?
 

It should get a new, but similar, name.

I suggest "The Flub".

Re: Nub Plus....Are you kidding me?
 

When nubs were released, they were marketed as being shorter to focus on that sweet spot of a cigar. If they are now making them longer, what happened to the sweet spot. :bh :r :sl

Re: Nub Plus....Are you kidding me?
 

or since it's more or less a robo how about the "Rub?":D

Re: Nub Plus....Are you kidding me?
 

Could be good, for those Nub lovers that wished they had a little bit more to smoke left at the end of their Nub.

Re: Nub Plus....Are you kidding me?
 

what would you call a NUB on Viagra. Cause thats what, I'd call it. Isn't it defeating the whole NUB purpose.

Re: Nub Plus....Are you kidding me?
 

Maybe they can figure a way to put a whole tobacco plant in one cigar, and call it "The Shrub".

Re: Nub Plus....Are you kidding me?
 

A NUB on Viagra would have to be called "A CHUB". ;)

Re: Nub Plus....Are you kidding me?
 

Put a hook in it and call it a grub

Re: Nub Plus....Are you kidding me?
 

If it is a perennial loser they could call them "The CUBS".

Re: Nub Plus....Are you kidding me?
 

:tu:r:r:tu

Re: Nub Plus....Are you kidding me?
 

Damn no love for the Nub's?? Gotta love that "sweet" spot they always talk about.

Re: Nub Plus....Are you kidding me?
 

Sweet spot is great but nub and sweet spot seem like an oxymoron.

Re: Nub Plus....Are you kidding me?
 

I was being sarcastic.

Re: Nub Plus....Are you kidding me?
 

Opinions vary. :r

Re: Nub Plus....Are you kidding me?
 

i actually quite like the habano

Re: Nub Plus....Are you kidding me?
 

This.

Why cant every cigar be a lancero :confused:

Re: Nub Plus....Are you kidding me?
 

Holy geez! I literally had a belly laugh! :r :r :r

You are The Master, Admiral. :chr

Re: Nub Plus....Are you kidding me?
 

I aims to please, Chutney. :D

Re: Nub Plus....Are you kidding me?
 

I'm sure these are just a Ciagr.com thing, but I could be wrong.

Re: Nub Plus....Are you kidding me?
 

When I first heard about this I had high hopes since I like a few of the nubs. Like it has been mentioned already adding an inch isn't ground breaking. Just reminds me of those cheesy extenze commercials.

Re: Nub Plus....Are you kidding me?
 

NOW THAT is a cigar I would really like to see, ;).

Re: Nub Plus....Are you kidding me?
 

:sh

Re: Nub Plus....Are you kidding me?
 

POISSonally, I think that Mr. Leccia must have drawn up some specs for this cigar and "hidden" them in his desk,
so that after he left, they would find it and think "BRILLIANT!" and rush it into production while Sam only
chuckled on top of the pile of his severance pay and say, "SUCKERS....CMON, seriously guys, a NUB with more length
is NOT a NUB. It's a robustus maximus. I like to call it a revenge grenade.

Re: Nub Plus....Are you kidding me?
 

I am of the opinion that a longer Nub is no longer a Nub. I will call it Timmy.

Re: Nub Plus....Are you kidding me?
 

You can also call a longer Nub a Boner.:D:tf:sh;s

Re: Nub Plus....Are you kidding me?
 

:r:r:r

Re: Nub Plus....Are you kidding me?
 

This and the boner made me :r

I have to agree that adding another anything to the length truly defeats the original purpose of this cigar.

Re: Nub Plus....Are you kidding me?
 

purpose? Like that sweet spot thingie?

:lr :hy :lr

Re: Nub Plus....Are you kidding me?
 

Winner!

Re: Nub Plus....Are you kidding me?
 

:r :r

:tu :tu for this thread.

Re: Nub Plus....Are you kidding me?
 

I thought Perdomo had already cornered the market with the Immenso.

Re: Nub Plus....Are you kidding me?
 

RevSmoke can't get to the internet at the moment, but he thinks a NUB on Viagra should be called a lancero!

Re: Nub Plus....Are you kidding me?
 

And when it doesn't win any awards, you can call it a Snub.

Re: Nub Plus....Are you kidding me?
 

And if they make a 20 inch version, they can call it a "Dub"

Re: Nub Plus....Are you kidding me?
 

Man... these started out at 3.5 inches, went to 4, now to 5... if the sweet spot is 5 inches long, why did they ever need to shorten the first ones?

Re: Nub Plus....Are you kidding me?
 

Hello? The "sweet spot" was a marketing gimmick/ploy. There is no such animal.

I am well aware... I am not exactly a fan of the Nubs myself.

Re: Nub Plus....Are you kidding me?
 

Sorry, sometimes Peter needs an

Re: Nub Plus....Are you kidding me?
 

With a Connecticut wrapper they could call it a "Lewinsky."
