Cain Daytona
 

http://www.toastedfoot.com/wp-conten...na-555x209.jpg
Size: 5×50, 550 (Robusto)

Wrapper: Nicaraguan Habano

Binder: Nicaraguan Habano

Filler: Nicaraguan Ligero

Strength: Medium/Full

Price: Box of 24, $124.95

Grade: 9.0

This cigar has created quite a buzz online with multiple reviews and generally positive reception from cigar smokers. While the Cain line of cigars have been known as powerhouse smokes (Maduro, Habano, and Cain F, Cain F Nub) , the newest creation is supposed to be more medium in strength due to the use of 100% Jalapa Valley Ligero.

The Daytona is available in 5 sizes: Corona 646 (6×46), Double Toro 660 (6×60), No. 4 (5×43), Robusto 550, and Torpedo 654T (6×54). The Daytona is a product of Oliva’s new creative arm, Studio Tobac.

Below is a little bit of information from Studio Tobac’s website:

The Cain Daytona is a medium bodied offering blended using only Jalapa Ligeros. Jalapa Valley is Nicaraguas northern most tobacco area. It is well known for producing the country’s most medium and smooth fillers. Cain Daytona takes its flavor profile from this distinct area. The Daytona offers a solid medium taste with an abundance of natural smoothness. The result, a creamy cigar with true Nicaraguan taste.

Pre-light, 1.8:
The Cain Daytona has a medium to light brown wrapper that is smooth to the touch with just a vein or two present here and there. The cigar is well packed with a nice weight in the palm. I really like the foot band presentation with the Daytona Orange color and racing bars. The pre-light aroma is mild along the wrapper with a bit of barnyard and cedar at the foot. The cold draw produces a nice spice that warms the edges of the tongue.

Burn, 1.8:
The Daytona cuts clean and has a decent draw that produces an adequate amount of smoke. The ash holds well and is consistent in color. The cigar burned sharp with no touch ups or re-lights required.

Flavor, 2.7:
The first puff is of Nicaraguan tobacco with a tingle of spice on the finish. Into the first third, the smoke opens up a bit with notes of earth, spice, and a touch of sweetness. Into the second third, the smoke mellows out a bit for me with a solid base of earthy tobacco with mild notes of sweetness and spice on the edges. The last third seems to stay in the same ballpark as the second third. I really enjoyed the inhale on this cigar; the fresh draw seemed to have a ton of flavor that danced all around the tongue.

Overall, 2.7:
This is an excellent cigar for around $5. While touted as a milder or low key version from Cain, it still rides on the medium to full in strength depending on your tolerance level. While not a huge fan of the Cain line, I will say they consistently put out good smokes. This is worth a shot so pick a few up.

Re: Cain Daytona
 

Thanks for the review, I have been seeing these on the daily special a few times and thought I might try them. I like some of the earlier Cains and sounds like I need to give the Daytona a try.:tu

Re: Cain Daytona
 

Great review! As much as I would like to get into the Cain line, they just can't come close to the Oliva V's which can be had for less money!

Re: Cain Daytona
 

Nice review!

I've only smoked one of these so far and although it was decent it wasn't really up my alley. I found it to be super spicy in the first and final thirds and somewhat bland in the middle and Medium+ in strength.
I'll definitely give it another try though. :)

Great review, i picked up two boxes of these at there last event near me, and got the sampler packs, havent dug in to those yet... I am an Oliva whore though, but thats me...lol

Re: Cain Daytona
 

Nice review. The guys at the shop love this stick but sadly I wasn't very impressed. It was very one dimensional and boring for me. I will need to try a smaller size as the only size left in stock at the shop at the time was 6x60s which tend to mute flavors to begin with IMHO.

Re: Cain Daytona
 

Smoked by first Daytona today, a #4. I posted here because the flavors I tasted were much closer to Matthew's (OHRD) than to the reviewer who specifically posted the #4. I found there to be a hint of earth and spice, that sweetness Matthew described was also present through most of the smoke.

For those who have said the cigar was peppery for them, I didn't get this at all. Cigar has been sitting in my humi for about 10 days at 62%. I did find it to be fairly strong, though not overwhelming even though it has been hours since I last ate.

Looking forward to trying the other vitolas I have in the humi, this was a nice change of pace to what I normally smoke.

Re: Cain Daytona
 

Nice reviews, fellas.

I honestly had a tough time dealing with the nicotine high from the corona i smoked, but this cigar is also outside of my normal rotation.

I will definitely split my B&M dollars between this and the Oliva V lancero.

Re: Cain Daytona
 

Great review! After recently trying one from my local smoke shop, I purchased a box of Cain Double Robusto (Thank you CI) They are currently "resting". I can hardly wait to smoke one!
