Why is a NUB so short? On purpose!

Oliva rep Sam Leccia figured most cigars hit their sweet spot between 3.5 and 4 inches, so NUB starts there. None tops 4 inches, and some hit 66 ring.

Rolled at Oliva's Tabolisa factory in Estelí.

CBS has cigar roots!

Samuel Paley named La Palina for his wife Goldie in 1896. His son William sponsored radio's "The La Palina Hour," then went on to build CBS.

Grandson Bill revived it in 2010. Goldie rolls at El Titan de Bronze in Miami.
