A longtime favourite at Bespoke Unit, the Nub Connecticut is a cigar that we’ve recommended to many novices who have gone on to become passionate enthusiasts. With its thick gauge and short length, it’s designed to provide the full flavours of a cigar from the moment that you light it.

Thanks to its construction and vitola, the Nub Connecticut is very forgiving to first-time smokers. Smoking to hard or too fast can result in hot smoke, burning issues, and even nicotine poisoning. However, the wide gauge curbs this so you can enjoy its mild creaminess with hints of toasted brioche.

Indeed, this cigar is one of several with a Connecticut wrapper, which is an excellent choice of tobacco when choosing cigars for beginners. A Connecticut shade wrapper will often provide creamy and mild flavours that are mild but flavours.
