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?

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

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

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

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

It should get a new, but similar, name.

I suggest "The Flub".

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

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

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

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

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

Put a hook in it and call it a grub

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

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

I was being sarcastic.
