Construction and Draw
The Habano wrapper is rich and oily with a medium brown color and minimal veins. The 464T vitola is expertly crafted with a firm, even pack and a smooth triple cap. The cold draw reveals notes of hay, sweet almonds, and a faint cocoa sweetness. Upon lighting, the draw is smooth and effortless, producing thick, aromatic smoke. The burn line remains sharp and even throughout, while ash forms in tight, pale-gray stacks that hold well, reflecting Nub’s commitment to quality.
