If you're grabbing a sampler Gryph, you should get one or two in there hopefully. If they're not advertised as being included, perhaps you could ask for them."Go you good things...geddem int'ya"

This will be my 3rd 7 drawer lol. I have about 40 or 50 nubs, I'm ordering a couple of boxes in the next week or so, a box of maduro torps and a box of habano torps. I also have a couple of boxes ear marked for my luggage in august when I'm in the states, hopefully the Nub cains or miamis will be out for then
Fingers crossed
I'm always envious of the members on the Nub forum, the gear they can get there hands on is great, but as I said earlier I'm always on the look out for nub merchandish on ebayComment

Well I am a huge fan of NUB - but as I have a professional interest in them it could be said my view might not carry much weight - that said it is a fantatastic smoke!
Sam Leccia created the size not as a gimmick but they were the result of the search for the 'sweet spot'. By shortening the overall length of the cigar, while significantely expanding its ring gauge these cigars hit the 'sweet spot' straight away.
NUB always seems to take me about an hour - before I had tried one I was thinking it looked a 20 minute smoke!I'm sure there are greater things in life than a fine cigar ........... but right now I can't think what they might be.Comment

I'm not convinced by the 'sweet spot' theory personally Robert. I've found out a review form a while back, but sadly can't post a link. I've smoked about a dozen of the Nubs since (all Habano) and enjoyed them all, with no repeat of the issues below. However, my thoughts about the 'sweet spot' are below. Apologies if my comment about such isn't technically correct, but it is what I felt.
"Wrapper: Habano
Filler: Nicaragua
Size: Nub 466 (4 x 66)
Strength: Medium to Full
I didn't smoke the torpedo.
Appearance
It was beautifully presented with a neat, rich, tanned horse chestnut colouring. The bands are minimalist and modern, which I found attractive.
Construction
Firm to the touch and seemingly densely packed. These are well made sticks with the one I had, having few veins. Faultless to the eye.
Taste
The pre-light draw found a sweetness on my lips, which was pleasant. The Nub Habano definately gives you a sense of where that Habano wrapper gets its influence from and there's a little bit of the motherland in there. On lighting, I got an immediate nudge of spice.
I'm not the world's most descriptive when it comes to picking out flavours (sorry folks), but I was aware of that spice remaining subtley throughout, accompanied by leather and I felt, a hint of liquorice. Not a bad combo at all, and it didn't smoke unfamiliarly. The availability of flavour did depend on the volume of smoke...
Draw/Ash/Burn
No tight draw dramas for a densely packed stick. I did question whether my club/shamrock punch probably was a bit 'open' for this particular stick and I found the draw too light and I was unable to get a large volume of smoke.
The ash held well, but was effected by the issues I had with an uneven burn throughout. Within the first 10mm, the stick was struggling to burn evenly and even with corrections including dampening small areas and re-touching with the lighter here and there, it didn't come good. To top it off, the wrapper burst in the last third, which saw me putting it down sadly. I store at 65% RH, so over humidification was not the issue. Any feedback would be welcome.
Overall
The Nub has been promoted as a cigar that provides a sweet-spot from the off as opposed to one where it builds in the second, or last third. This is attributed to its impressive, and unique, dimensions.
I can't subscribe to this theory on the basis that whilst smoking a stick, the crescendo of flavours (IMO) acumulate and increase as a concentration of such build up towards the mid/end as the result of drawing smoke through it (if that makes sense). The Nub, I feel, behaves in the same way.
It was a shame I had the issues I did as it probably didn't do the Nub justice. However, I would have one again and I think they should be included in your 'must try' list.

You guys are the best.
I really appreciate the support and some of the "UK Lingo" on here really cracks me up. You all seem like a crazy bunch to hang out and smoke a cigar with. I hope that can happen someday. I would certainly enjoy it.
