The NUB cigars were created by the Oliva cigar company to give the smoker the “sweet spot” of a cigar from the initial light. These cigars, little in length yet big on diameter, do exactly what they were intended to do, deliver flavor and deliver it quickly. The NUB Cameroon uses authentic African wrapper leaf, accompanied with Nicaraguan tobaccos, it delivers rich notes of cedar and coffee. Don’t let the size fool you, these cigars smoke as long as a Churchill or even a Presidente.

"The Folie à Deux 2011 Chardonnay is a rich wine, and when held up to the light, has a lovely golden hue. Seductive and complex aromas of honeysuckle, hazelnut overtones and melony fruit tough the nose with juicy apple, pineapple and tropical flavors on the palate. The wine has light buttery notes from partial malolactic fermentation and crisp balancing acidity."

"Pinot Grigio from Pinot Grigio grapes, part-fermented as a white wine. It has an intense straw-yellow colour with a light nuance of antique rose. Its aroma is intense, full and fruity, with excellent persistence. Its taste is dry, velvety, and particularly well-orchestrated for its full body. It is paired with fish soups, chargrilled seafood and various dishes based on field mushrooms and porcini mushrooms. This wine is wonderful with squid ink lasagnette pasta and crayfish sauce."

"Slate, minerals, crushed rocks and grapefruit linger on the precise, crystalline finish. This is a very Chablis-like Napa Valley Chardonnay."

"Intense red color. Red fruits (plum and cherry) with a slight touch of oak. Fruit flavor (plum and raspberry). Elegant and soft finish."

"Straw yellow in color, the 2011 Villa Antinori Bianco has aromas of pineapple, peach and white flowers. Full and savory in flavor with great aromatic persistence, this is an elegant and classy wine."
