Nub Event w/ Photos

I attended a Nub event yesterday at J&J Cigars in Shoreline Washington. Sam Leccia, "inventor" of this format was there doing some rolling and talking about his cigars. The size is not a format I would generally reach for, but I have to say I was somewhat impressed. I had a Cameroon which was smooth and creamy and then later a Habano which was much more intense, smoked longer and gave me a healthy nic buzz.



Sam is a great guy and an excellent promoter of his work. I learned alot just from talking with him and it's wild to think that a garage roller in Pittsburgh could end up making a cigar brand that's this popular. Very cool. To me it was very much like spending time with winemakers. Their wines take on new meaning to you. Although the Nub ring guages are way to big for my taste, I would certainly be more apt to smoke these after meeting Sam and hearing his story and his vision.



A nice event and well worth attending. I have a new respect for the Nub line.
