Cain habano 550
Some of you may remember my Maduro review of this cigar. It can be found
HERE.
This cigar has a toothy wrapper. It's not flawless, but it is a bargain stick at ~$6. It is firm all the way down.
It is powerful but smooth with first few puffs. Good finish. Nutty and woody. Power eases up a little about .25" in. Finish is now earthy. The burn is not perfect but not bad.
An inch in: flavors are more complex. The power seems to come and go with every other puff. Still smooth.
Second third: not as powerful but you get a hint of the power through the nose for a second. Still smooth. Leather on the palate now.
I've had a few burn problems but it was probably due to the very breezy afternoon, the week long rain, and me surfing the interweb.
Overall, this is a good cigar. I think I prefer the Maduro over this one, but I would not count this one out at all. The draw was great, and it left a great finish on my palate.
