Nub Cameroon by Oliva

What began as a radical experiment in the Oliva factory—creating a short cigar that smokes as long as a traditional robusto—has since become one of the most successful and beloved concepts in premium cigars. Nub mastered the art of delivering the “sweet spot” from the very first puff, and few blends showcase that achievement better than the Nub Cameroon, the highest-rated Nub to date.

Wrapped in an authentic African Cameroon leaf, this cigar presents a dark, leathery sheen and unmistakable aroma. Beneath that wrapper sits a dense core of Nicaraguan long-fillers, expertly packed to produce Nub’s signature long, cool burn and impressively thick smoke.

From the moment it’s lit, Nub Cameroon reveals a medium to full-bodied profile filled with sweet cedar, toasted nuts, subtle earthiness, and a lively ribbon of spice. Retrohaling introduces a bold pop of pepper, adding depth without disrupting the cigar’s naturally smooth character. The finish is dry, toasty, and clean—ideal for those who love complexity without heaviness.

Its acclaim is well earned: Top 25 Cigar of 2015 (#23) and a 92-point rating from Cigar Aficionado, which noted its cool burn, excellent construction, and “loads of nutty, earthy flavor.”

If you’re looking for the most decorated Nub in the lineup—and one of the most flavorful Cameroon expressions on the market—Nub Cameroon is an absolute must-smoke.
