    Default Cain Habano ~ 5x50

    Other's reviews (None found, searching the Reviews Forum)

    Smoke: Cain Habano ~ 5x50
    Drink: Weyerbacher Double Simco IPA
    Tunes: Offspring ~ Smash; Police ~ Greatest Hits

    Wrapper: Nicaraguan
    Binder: Nicaraguan
    Filler: Nicaraguan
    Draw: Medium
    Burn: ran fine
    Misc: 60 minutes

    Pre-light: Medium dark brown wrapper. Firm, seems dense. Light color @ veins. Satin finish on leaf. Sweet tobacco scent. Peppery prelight flavor with cap cut.



    Light: Took a little effort, but seems to be going good.

    1st 3rd: Oily, Spicy, coating my tongue. Sweet & bitter mix (maybe that’s the IPA)… Medium to full body. Medium flavor. Pretty smooth despite the strong-ish flavors. Floral type flavors going on also. Nice.



    Ash: Medium gray. Nice stacking & bubbles on ash. Holds on for 1 ¾”



    2nd 3rd: Floral. Oil, spice (pepper) Again, smooth despite the flavor barrage. Sweet tobacco and medium to full body. Pretty strong cigar nicotine wise.



    3rd 3rd: Same profile. Kind of more mellow now strangely. Moving into a kind of creamy mix of flavors. Spice is dying down. Really, really mellows out in the last 3rd. Some leather notes kicking in now. Pretty nice unexpected ending.



    Overall impression: Nice cigar. Reminds me a lot of the LFD double ligero. I’d put it like this: I’d look for a 5er of these while I look for a box of LFD DLs.

    Thank you Rugbysh9 for the chance to try this one!

    Interesting to see a review of this cigar considering I just bought my first one recently. I had never heard of it before but due to it's connection to Oliva I figured I'd give it a chance. Anyway it's sitting in my humi now and I'm thinking it will make the trip to Cancun with me next monday for a beach smoke. Great review as usual.
