I hadn't seen much discussion about this cigar so I thought I would put in my 2 cents. The local B&M got some of these in and when I saw that they came in a 5x43 size and a 6x46 corona size I got excited and bought a couple of each. Man what a great smoke! I am a fan of both the Cain and the Cain F but to my tastebuds this Daytona is the best of the bunch.

So far I have smoked the two sizes mentioned above but that's it. Does anybody have any input comparing the smaller sizes with the larger ones? What do you guys think of them if you've smoked em?

I've had the PC & Corona size, both great smokes. Probably my favorite Cain.

Saw that post in my search but didn't see too many opinions of the cigar other than the reviewer and 2 or 3 others. Just wanted to get some additional opinions now that it's been almost a month since it was started :tu

I have been wanting to try this one. Looks like you might make me actually buy something from Churchills, Larry!

Hmm, gonna have to check out the B&M tomorrow to see if they have these. Always on the lookout for good PC and corona sized cigars.

Travis, single price on the PC was just under $5 (with tax,) and the corona & robusto were both about $5.50. I remember a torp and a large RG size, and those were about 7. (Virginia prices, ymmv)

I just finished the corona and have now smoked all 6 sizes (the five regular sizes and the short robusto from the Studio Tobac sampler). The smaller ones are more peppery than the others. My favorite is the torpedo, by far, with the short robusto as a close second.

I am not a big Cain fan (although I like the Cain F550), these are by far my favorite Cains

Normally, not a big Cain fan, don't get the "in your face strength" flavor profile without much complexity or change. Of course, I've only had a couple. But my experience was boldness in a one dimensional character. While not a bad dimension, it just didn't do much for me.

I have now had the Daytona #4, 646, and the 550. I like these quite a bit - by far my favorite Cain. There is a flavor in them I haven't identified yet that is really satisfyingly (is that a word?) sweet yet spicy.

I must say, this is the most intriguing "new" flavor I have found in a cigar so far in 2011, maybe 2010 as well.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

I really tried to like this smoke. I've tried them on several occasions and there's just something about this smoke I (and I can't quite lay my finger on the flavor) that doesn't work for me. I'm a big fan of the Cain F though.

The no4 (smallest) is my favorite, i also really enjoy the 550, and i love the torp, i hated the 660, just didnt taste right to me, dont know if i got a bad one or what... But i also didnt like the regular cains in the 660 format, so maybe that size just isnt for me... If you havent tried the no4, grab one, but smoke it slow cause it is a small cigar and tends to get hot... it is my goto lunch break cigar, about 45-hour smoke...

Yeah, there is a flavor that is different, something I haven't identified as of yet. I really like it.

What is more, that unique flavor makes this something different. I can get a couple dozen Nicaraguans that taste similar, a couple dozen Dominicans that taste similar, a couple dozen... (you the idea) If you like those flavors, find the cheapest one that fits the bill and stock up.

Or, if you are like me, I have my stand-byes, those cigars that consistently deliver that flavor I want. And then, there are the rest of the cigars in my humidor - usually consistent from stick to stick - but they have something that no other cigar has, something that makes you say, "Wow!"

The Daytona have that something flavor which nobody else has which makes them unique and worth adding a few to the humidor.

Now, I need to figure out what that flavor pairs with.

Peace of th Lord be with you.

i was ok with the Daytona. it still isnt my favorite cain. not that i am a huge fan of cains in general, but if i had to place a favorite cain it would be the F lancero.


... too bad those are relatively hard to come by.

Smoked one yesterday that was gifted to me by Jim aka BlueHavanaII. Great smoke and definitely the best of the Cains. At around $6 a stick it will be on my list to pick up when visiting B&Ms. Full flavor but medium in body.

I like it because I don't get nauseous and sweaty after I smoke one, unlike the F's.

The F's are really that strong?

I guess I won't be trying that one.

Cain F Lancero was no joke either, but o man what a great smoke... I have had different experiences with the Daytona size, was what i was trying to say about, the 660 in my opinion was almost nasty, the Torp was incredible, and the no4 is my favorite, the 550 is a great smoke... but all 4 were totally different flavor profiles in my noobish opinion... Good luck def worth trying... i have two boxes now...lol

I had the corona yesterday. I agree these are the best of the Cain's but as with the entire line, doesn't suit my palate.

The Cain Daytona 550 is quickly becoming my favorite smoke. I picked up two at a local shop, smoked the first one, then immediately bought a box of the 550s. I am a huge fan.

I'm going to have to try these. I like the Cain but it is one dimensional. These sound like the Man O War Virtue, a "toned down" version of the "normal" stronger flavored line with a great flavor profile.

I had one of the PC's and I was really impressed with this cigar and the price point. I have only smoked one, but if future ones are as tasty as my first, I will need to pick up a few more. The flavor was unique but you could tell it was a Cain. Nice smoke.

I really enjoy the F's they are a nice strong cigar with great flavor. The cain daytona is like the F's little brother.

nofeardiver
05-26-2011, 12:22 PM
i think if you like the f, you will like the daytona, its got a hint of sweetness to it... i thought it was delicious... if you in the mood for a milder version of the F, then i think the daytona is perfect...

Agree with that statement. As $6.00, it wasn't bad for a B&M cigar.

I like it because I don't get nauseous and sweaty after I smoke one, unlike the F's.

Maybe I have been smoking cigars from other regions of the world for too long of a stretch. Had my first Daytona tonight... Kind of made me weak in the knees.

I have smoked a few more of the Daytona and am still loving em. My favorite size is
the No. 4 with the corona a close second. The No. 4 is YUMMY!! As for strength I
guess I have never really had much of an issue with the other Cains but yes they are strong.

The daytona was not bad, Very nice taste and smooth(I think, smoked it a few weeks ago). It was a bit strong for, but then again I tend to smoke fast. I'm getting better at smoking slow. But all in all it was a nice pleasant cigar to smoke.

I would give another one a try Doug as I haven't had any that acted like that. They have always burned great for me... especially the No. 4. I do recollect having a 6x46 with a burn issue but not a 4.
