Hello All!


Been reading the forums for a couple of weeks figured it was time to post. I just received my first Ccom order in the mail. I ordered the house blend sampler 7pk and the NUB sampler. I have had the NUBS before and I love those, I am going to let those rest for a bit in my humidor that I picked up a couple of weeks ago.


I am having a hard time trying to decide which house blend to try first,lol. Only having one of each is making it hard. I am thinking of trying the Red or Blue first and then the Cuban label. I am fairly new to this I like mild / med cigars so far. I have only had a couple of really strong ones. I have had all the NUBS, and several Oliva series O and G. Liked all of those so far.


Anyway, I have enjoyed reading all the posts on here and look forward to joining in on some discussions.

Welcome to the boards, I bought a ccom sampler almost a year ago, and still have a few left. Honestly, I keep forgetting I have them. What did you think of the NUBS? I've only had a couple so far, the Connecticut and another, I think it was the Cameroon. Which I liked more than the connie.

I have been very impressed with the NUBS so far. I like Habano best out of all of them, then the Cameroon, then the Connecticut and then the Maduro. I cannot remember what all sizes I have had them in. I have had a couple different sizes of the Cameroon, I do not understand all the different sizes and how they are supposed to be "different" I guess though.

The house blend sampler that came, they are all robusto I believe except the corojo it is a torpedo.

I got a NUB sampler from here as a Xmas gift, and haven't tried the Habanos yet...although, a buddy of mine has and said they're his favorite right now. I can't wait to try it. Have you heard about the CAIN Nub?

"Long ashes my friends"

I was on the NUB / Cain website and saw it on there. I keep reading all the stuff about how strong the Cain is and not sure if I can handle it or not to be honest,lol. But I am sure I will try it out. As much as I like the NUBS to this point I am sure it will be worth trying.

CAIN isn't as full bodied as I was expecting. But by no means would I smoke it on an empty stomach! The only cigar that almost made me hurl was a RP Olde World Reserve. Which I made the mistake of smoking on empty stomach.

I would let those red labels sit for a few months first. They are great with about 6months on them in a humi.

Probably due to the dye, as RP is known for it. The cain wasn't that strong, though the natural was a bit stronger than the maduro. Still not that bad, though I find it tough to find a strong cigar. Now a man o war ruination was a bit much, just be sure not to smoke it in a room where there is no open window. I got some serious butt kicking from the smoke.

Ok, I will let that one sit a bit then. I screwed up and picked up a 20ct humidor. I will have to work on getting a bigger one before too long as it is full right now.

The Nub Habano 464 is my favorite, by far, and then the Nub Maduro.

There is no blender but Litto Gomez, and I wish I was his merchant.

Cain NUB??!?!?!!?!?!

Welcome to the forums. I am also a fan of the Nub Habano, solidly made and great flavor. I've went through the same Ccom sampler as yours and out of all of them, I enjoyed the Brazilian and Cameroon labels the best. It's been a while, so I may have to order it again to remind myself what the others tasted like.

If you like the Habano Nub the best, get to know the name AJ Fernandez. He is considered one of the best blenders around. He make a lot have cigar with habano wrappers at a very good price. In this section, search for the AJ Fernandez thread and read what Alex Svenson has to say about him.

I will check into that. Thanks for the recommendation!

Welcome coach. Definitely consider getting a bigger humidor. Especially if you plan on hanging around and getting in on the trades, PIFs, MAWs and passes. In this environment, a 20ct just aint gonna cut it. My 50 ct lasted me about a month before I needed an upgrade. People around here have a tendency (albeit an appreciated one) to sneak in a stick or two on a trade and they add up......fast. I'm about six months into this hobby and I already have a 200+ collection of great smokes. It happens VERY fast.
