Fired up a Cain maduro robusto and immediately found it lacking. I wondered if it was just my tastebuds, so I figured why not fire up a La Floridita maduro and smoke them side by side.
Nope, my tastebuds aren't fried. The Cain just has no flavor. Some wood flavor in the intial draw and through the nose, but no depth or dimension at all.
With the La Floridita, I get sweetness on the draw, wood and spice through the nose, and a tart cocoa on the finish.
La Floridita = perfect draw, a few burn touchups
Cain = perfect draw and burn
La Floridita maduro = $1.59/stick
Cain maduro = $5/stick
La Floridita = Winner
Cain = Loser
