Cigar: Cain Habano 550 (5.75 x 50)

Cost: Don't remember

Drink: Coke

We finally got some warm weather (39 degrees) so I decided to do a review.

This is a triple fermented 100% ligero cigar that was created by Sam Leccia.

Appearance: This has a habano wrapper on it. There were no major veins showing. The band is simple and classy. The appearance gets a 8/10





Pre-Light: It has a strong wood flavor to it.

Construction: Held an average ash. The ash was kind of flaky. The draw was a bit on the loose side. The cigar required only a few minor touchups because I am very picky about having a cigar burn perfectly.

Taste of the cigar: This cigar has a peppery and woodsy flavor to it. I also picked up a minty flavor at some point. This cigar is somewhat harsh at the very beginning. After you get 1" in, the cigar gets better as it progresses. The flavors become richer. I would say the woodsy flavor is hickory.





Strength: This is without a doubt a full bodied cigar.

Summary: This cigar was extremely good. I am glad I picked up a box. I give it a 9.5/10
