Frequently Asked Questions
What is Nub Mexico?
Nub Mexico is a core Nub blend from Oliva Cigar Co. that pairs a Mexican-grown wrapper with a Nicaraguan binder and all-Nicaraguan filler. It debuted at InterTabac in Dortmund, Germany in September 2026 and arrived in U.S. stores in October 2026. It is the first new core Nub line in years.
How strong is Nub Mexico?
Nub Mexico is a medium-strength cigar. Oliva describes it as medium-bodied and slightly spicy, which puts it in the same range as Nub Habano and Nub Maduro.
What size is Nub Mexico?
Renegade Cigars carries Nub Mexico in the Gordo 460, which measures 4 x 60. It is sold as singles and in boxes of 24. Oliva also produces a 464T torpedo size.
How long does Nub Mexico take to smoke?
The Nub Mexico 460 smokes for roughly 45 to 60 minutes. The Nub format packs as much tobacco into its 4-inch, 60-ring frame as a longer cigar, so it lasts longer than its length suggests.
Who makes Nub Mexico cigars?
Nub Mexico is made by Oliva Cigar Co. at Tabacalera Oliva S.A. in EstelÃ, Nicaragua. Oliva introduced the Nub concept in 2008.
How does Nub Mexico compare to other Nub cigars?
Nub Mexico uses the same Nicaraguan binder and filler foundation as the rest of the Nub line. The difference is the Mexican wrapper. It joins Nub Habano, Nub Maduro, Nub Cameroon, and Nub Connecticut as one of the brand's core blends.
What should I pair with Nub Mexico?
Nub Mexico pairs well with black coffee, aged rum, bourbon, or an amber beer. Its medium body and light spice match drinks with some roast or caramel sweetness without being overpowered.
