"Nice Smoke"
I have to agree that it was a bit harsh at first, but after the first inch it got quite mello. I enjoyed the first one I got in my sampler and look forward to the second. The burn did require a bit of correction, but overall was acceptable. This cigar looks great and the draw and construction were fantastic.

"Not bad....but..."
This wasn't a bad cigar but I expected more. Although it drew nicely, it burned rather strangely. The taste was harsh at the beginning but mellowed out relatively quickly. Aroma was mediocre at best.

"Best Connecticut so far"
I tried Oliva Connecticut Reserve before and I liked it but Nub Connecticut just blew my mind. It's creamy and smooth beyond imagination but far from lacking taste like some light cigars do. Size is a bit awkward to me but it's a matter of preference. Overall it's a fantastic cigar and must try if Connecticut wrapper is your thing.

"Fantastic!"
If you like looking like a mafioso or a crooked banker form the 20's, this is your smoke. If you like great cigars this is also your smoke. It smokes as long as a churchill and gets better with each draw. I couldn't bear to throw the stub away. Even when you are feeling the heat off the burn this cigar is smooth and tasteful. I also found 8 nubs for 20 bucks? You gotta be kidding me. My new #1.

"Make it longer!"
Damn good. Wished it was a bit longer. Maybe 5.5"

"Harsh at first, then rather nice"
For a Connecticut wrapper this seemed a little harsh for the first half. My friend, who gave it to me out of a sampler had the same experience. The last half of it was excellent. Construction seems perfect but I now have a Cameroon (my friend bought a box after determining it was his favorite) so I'm about to smoke it to see if it is better.
