First nubbed cigar!

Well, I just smoked a cigar down to the nub, or at least as far down as I dare to. Churchill Brick House, and it was delicious. Only took 2 and a half hours too! Maybe not such an achievement, but still a first for me. Been enjoying cigars for about a year, and generally they get a little too hot/harsh for my liking. I am now an official cigar aficionado, i suppose. First post too, what a night of firsts! Been reading and looking around for a while, and really appreciate all of the knowledge and helpfulness of most guys here. So, Thanks!

    Isn't the brick house a nice cigar? I really enjoy it. Got turned on to them by a b&m, and just got a box. Great price on this cigar, Welcome to the forum!

    Oh man, I love em! Smooth all the way down. I tried one and then went for a 5-pack when I saw em. I will definitely be getting a box whenever I can! Thanks, man!

    Welcome to the forums!

    I've "nubbed" enough of my favorites that my fingerprints aren't the same anymore.

    Congratulations on your first nubbing and welcome to the forum. I rarely nub a cigar because it tends to get too warm for me towards the end, but every once in a while the stars align just right. It's a great discovery to find one that goes so well.

    Yes, it is! Gonna try a la herencia cubano oscuro fuerte. And see how that goes!

    I'm the same way. I typically go with 2 inches or so left on the cigar. It may be a waste but I don't see any sense in going further than what I enjoy.

    Haven't had the brickhouse, heck I don't even have one! My first smoke-to-the-nub in a while was an anejo 48 today that I received from the march madness sampler. That anejo wwas a fine smoke indeed.

    Brickhouse 'gars are definitely some of my favorites. Only had a few, but i dont guess they're anything too special, just a real solid cigar... little spice, pretty smooth, on the milder side. I will certainly get a box when I can! I've never heard of anejo though!
