Cain F Cigar Review

Happy New Year All! Here we are about a week into 2012. Here we experienced a rather warm December with no snow on the ground for most of it and temps in the upper 40's. I can remember a few years ago a winter such as this and on Christmas day we were outside in medium weight coats, smoking cigars, sitting in lawnchairs, enjoying the 50-ish weather! But this year we had a dusting of snow just in time for Christmas morning for a white Holiday!

Today I want to review the Cain F cigar. I got this cigar in a sample pack from Famous-smoke.com .

This cigar is produced by by Oliva and employs a Habano wrapper with triple fermented Nicaraguan fillers.  It's described as chocked full of extra ligero leaves to give it that incredibly bold and hearty character, that blasts the palate with intense spice and pepper.

To start, this cigar visually is a thing of beauty. Perfect wrapper with slight veins. A firm body that smells of clean straw and a foot that smells of hazelnuts. The pre-light draw is good and tastes of sweet raisins. 

Upon light, I get a blast of hazelnuts and spice. Full in body right off but not overpowering. As the cigar progresses it becomes more medium to full and I keep getting a jalapeno taste to my palette.  I get lots of spice through the nose and nuts is ever present on the palette. I must say this cigar produces nice volumes of smoke which has a slight sweetness in taste. 

It has a nice dense dirty ash which fell of about about 2 inches into the smoke, producing a blunt cone. the next flick of the ash made a sharper cone. 

On the last inch, it really kicked up in spice and develops a chocolate taste. The cigar ended with a clean finish.

Buzz rating for this one is 7 out of 10. Maybe it's just me but I expected this one to have a bit more buzz after reading all the hype, but still it had some kick and was quite enjoyable with the Nic Kick.

Overall I give this one 4.5 out of 5. With its great construction and great tastes this cigar will not disappoint.

The best way to enjoy this cigar without breaking the bank is sampler packs from Famous Smoke or Cigars International  or in singles from Cigar.com. Boxes will run you $138 to $187 for 24. Samplers will start around $25 for 6 from Famous Smoke and CI. And some of the samplers will let you sample other cigars in the Cain series. If you like bolder cigars with volumes of smoke, this one is for you.

Until next post.......................................Peace!
