Just heard of new Nub release, coming Summer 2015. "Nub Ultra."



From the press release....

Oliva's 'Nub' Finally Living Up to Its Name

The Oliva Family's new Nub Ultra® allows cigar lovers to get to the sweet spot of their smokes even faster. Not only has Nub Ultra® cut away the boring and tedious first 1/3 of the cigar, it's cut away the second 1/3 as well. This means that smokers can start with the most flavorful part of their cigar – the nub itself – from the very first puff.

Can't wait until they drop the Nub "Epitome", so short that smokers like me can enjoy their favorite part of a cigar, that last 2/93rd

Cuba Unveils Romeo y Julieta Wide Churchill Gran Reserva

Cuba is continuing its trend of releasing ultra-pricey, limited-edition cigars at the Habanos Festival, the annual gathering of cigar distributors, retailers and lovers of fine Cuban cigars.

The Romeo y Julieta Wide Churchill Gran Reserva Cosecha 2009, a plump cigar adorned with three bands, was previewed to those who attended the opening night party in Havana on Monday, February 23. Like other Gran Reserva cigars, the tobaccos used in the Wide Churchill come from a vintage crop, in this case the 2009 harvest.

The Gran Reserva Wide Churchill measures 5 1/8 inches long by 55 ring gauge and comes in boxes of 15. Only 5,000 boxes, each individually numbered and painted with a piano-black finish, have been created.

The cigar is unlikely to go on sale until the end of the year, and it wouldn't be uncommon for its release to be pushed back to 2016. (The Partagás Lusitania Gran Reserva, which was previewed at the 2013 Festival, didn't go on sale until nearly a year later.)

A sample of the cigar, which was made with an unblemished, tawny brown wrapper, was smoked during the Festival. The draw was spot on, requiring just the right amount of effort. The burn was slightly uneven; the ash was blackish grey, typical for Cuban cigars. The flavor was impressive, with a honeyed peanut note and a sweet, unctuous quality reminiscent of a Sauternes dessert wine.

While Room101 is just getting started with its retailer exclusive Ichiban Series and has announced another retail exclusive outside of Ichiban for later this year, there will be a third project launching April 2.

It’s called El Mas Chignon, Spanish slang to describe something as “the most epic,” and it will be exclusive to Famous Smoke Shop of Pennsylvania. The line consists of four cigars: EMC #1 (4 1/2 x 60), EMC #2 (5 1/2 x 50), EMC #3 (6 1/2 x 60) and EMC #4 (7 1/2 x 60).

Yes, that’s all 60 ring gauge vitolas, a first for Room101.
“Building the Room101 El Mas Chingon really pushed me out of my comfort zone,” said Matt Booth, founder of Room101. “For those that know me, I’m more partial to smaller ring gauge cigars… When Famous came to me with this concept, I went to work on building something with larger rings, that had the same impact and stimulation as what I’m usually looking for with smaller ring gauges.”

As for the blend, it uses an Ecuadorian Habana 2000 wrapper, Honduran corojo binder and filler tobaccos from the Dominican Republic, Honduras and Mexico.

Room101 El Mas Chingon will be offered in boxes of 10 with pricing between $65-80. The cigars are made at Oettinger Davidoff AG’s Agroindustria LAEPE S.A. factory in Danlí, Honduras. Room101 cigars are distributed by Davidoff of Geneva USA.
