Default Re: Nub Maduro vs. DPG Firecracker

I like the idea behind the Nubs...get to the sweet spot upon lighting it, but I don't seem to experience that. I've had a few different Nubs, and none really blew me away at all. I thought they were decent smokes if I wanted a quick smoke, or for company, but I have to agree that there are many other smokes I would take over these for the price they demand.

so very true.

Why not grab a box of something else like a box of Tat Havana VI, the firecrackers were a little dumb (IMHO) and you'll probably be sorry you got the nubs, not that there bad but just very one dimentional and boring. There are so many other great smokes out there in the same price range.

Send me whatever cigars you would like modified to Nubniss. I will carefully calculate where the cigar will needs to be cut so that you are lighting it right at the sweet spot. Hell...I'll extend my offer to whoever would like their favorites turned into Nubs. No point smoking the front 2/3's of the cigar if you don't need to...right? Let's get right to the good stuff.

By sending me your cigars, you accept the conditions that I keep all of the clippings. Check back for my soon to be released new line of cutting edge cigars... FRONTS!!!

I've never, out of the couple Ive had, experienced this "sweet spot" right upon lighting.....Has anyone else, or is this a marketing ploy???
