The Cain Daytona is the newest Studio Tobac release, they just hit the stores in the US and they will hit the stores in Europe next week so I thought it was a nice opportunity to make it 'Cain Daytona week' on http://www.cigarguide.org, you can expect six reviews in the next few days. Let me kick the week off with the 4½x50 short robusto. This specific vitola isn't available on the market, it will be included in the 'free with purchase' sampler you can get at the Studio Tobac world tour ( http://studiotobac.com/blog/?page_id=434). The Cain Daytona is a bit smoother than the other Cain blends due to the fact that only Jalapa valley ligero was used for the Daytona.

First thing I notice is the orange footband, I like the color orange as it is our national color. The silky wrapper is nice chocolate brown with one vein. I smell a barnyard smell with ammonia, which shows that the cigar is quite fresh. The construction feels great and the predraw is fine. I taste spicy tobacco with some pepper.

I taste a spicy and peppery herbal flavor with some sweet soil in the aftertaste. This cigar packs quite some power but not as much as the Cain F. I also taste a bit of wood. After half an inch I taste wood with herbs and a sugar sweetness. Every now and then I taste a little bit of cacao. These flavors are full and stick around till halfway.

Halfway I taste sweet wood and a little less herbs. The sweetness changed from sugar to caramel and I also taste some spices. After two thirds the sweetness gains some strength with some wood and a little bit of herbs.

This cigar lasted me for an hour and twenty minutes. The draw was great, just like the burn. I got a lot of thick smoke. The light colored ash is compact and firm. This cigar is full flavored and full bodied.

Would I buy this cigar again? I wish, it's only available in the 'free with purchase' Studio Tobac event sampler

I enjoyed this stick from the B&M wasn'tas tasty as a one of the other cains I have tried but it was quite enjoyable, I almost wanna say it had a fruit/citrus note to it. it was very smooth almost thinking it was medium until last third were flavors partied in my mouth

from the B&M? This particular size isn't commercially available, it's part of the Studio Tobac sampler. If your B&M has them I want their contact info and order some.

It may of not been that size if I remember correctly it was average cigar size but was a Cain Daytona and was a few weeks ago, ah hell I'm a knoob and just smoke em I dont care if they're rare or not if they're in the humi at the B&M and wade points to the new thing and i have yet to try it I purchase it if its in my $$ range and stoke it up. I swear I make that man wade work for his boss's $$ I sometimes spend 30 minutes in the humi ask 1k questions then sometimes purchase a reg stick or new.

I've been called a lot of things in my life. First time for Geard. :lr

Nice review, Ferd, my experience with the flavor profile is similar to yours, but I did pick up more citrus notes. I've only smoked the corona & PC, so perhaps those flavors are apparent in the smaller RG. Definitely my favorite Cain, I didn't find it to be that heavy in the N department, either.

it is milder than the other Cains, due to the fact that it only has Jalapa ligero, which is the mildest of the 3 ligero's used for the normal Cains.

Looking forward to smoking one of this line. I'm a torpedo guy so I think I'll try that vitola first.
