What does one expect from a Nub? In the cigar industry, Nub is the brand that figured out a way to hit the sweet spot of a cigar faster and stay there longer.
The brain behind this innovation belongs to Sam Leccia. As a passionate aficionado, Sam’s purpose in creating Nub was to find a way to enhance the smoking experience by prolonging the most pleasurable part.
Once Sam had the idea he started experimenting in his garage to find the best way to roll. Sam brought the idea and the cigar he had rolled to Oliva Cigar, where he worked as a sales representative. The Olivas were at first hesitant about the cigar because it could be seen as a gimmick and not taken seriously as they intended.
