Short answer: Nub is Oliva's short, thick format — 4 inches by 60 ring — built so the cigar starts at its sweet spot instead of taking an inch to get there. See what is in stock on our Oliva page.
The idea behind Nub
Most cigars hit their best stretch somewhere in the middle. Nub's shape compresses the blend so that stretch arrives at the first light and holds. It smokes longer than its size suggests, because the ring gauge is wide.
