Cigar: Cain Maduro (5.75 x 50)

Cost: Free because a friend gave it to me. Thanks BengalMan

Drink: Barq's Creme Soda

This is a triple fermented 100% ligero cigar that was created by Sam Leccia.

Appearance: This has a maduro wrapper on it. There were no veins showing. The band is simple and classy. The appearance gets a 8/10

Pre-Light: It has a strong flavor that is hard to describe.

Construction: Held an average ash. The ash was kind of flaky. The draw was perfect. The cigar required only a few minor touchups because I am very picky about having a cigar burn perfectly

Taste of the cigar: This cigar has a peppery and woodsy flavor to it. I also picked up a hint of chocolate at one point.

Here is my smoking buddy Henry:

Strength: This is without a doubt a full bodied cigar.

Summary: This cigar was really, really, really, (did I say really?) good. I would definitely these again. I give it a 9/10.

Got mine the same place as Kelly... and really enjoyed it! :tu

First taste was a tad harsh, but settled down quickly. A far better-than-average smoke.

Also tried the habano wrapper... still a full bodied stick, but was a little more mellow than the maduro. Both are fine cigars, no doubt! :ss

Great review Dan "The CigarMan"!

I got mine the same place Kelly and Joe did....I liked the Habano wrapper better though!

Reminds me of the Tastes Great...Less Filling debate. Both are very good cigars, especially at that price point, but I think the maduro is better than the habano.

"The cigar required only a few minor touchups because I am very picky about having a cigar burn perfectly"

After seeing you in action, if it really was just a *few* minor touchups, then I am impressed and wanna smoke one of these!
