I'm going to have to pick up a habano. Tried the maduro wasn't too pleased. Definitely agree on that odd taste in the cigar.

These sticks are wonderful =) I love the taste. Now that you have had the Maduro and Habano... go find you a Cain F. Those are where the best flavors are!

Thanks for the review.

Ring Ring! (that's my chime

)

Thanks for posting the review Jon!

I would consider buying more of the Habano wrappered Cains if I can get them in a smaller format. IMO, the Habano was much more enjoyable than the maduro. Maybe over time all of that could change, maybe not. I really enjoyed the sweet flavor on the nose exhale. The maduro was as Jon described being like pickled ginger. It wasn't horrible, just wasn't as good as the other. Will be looking for these in the near future in a smaller size.

I've only smoked the Habano and I really liked it. I got more of a buzz from the Tat Cojonu 2006 than the Habano. I didn't think the Cain was all the strong...

My local B&M had the Cain 652 Maduro. I picked one up the other day and couldn't put off smoking it any longer. Its very peppery on the finish and the aroma is amazing.
The burn, even though I am smoking it outside in a light breeze, is even. Zero issues with it going out. So far its a winner.

Not sure which one I got in the humi, I think it's the maduro. Might have to light it up soon. Thanks for the review Jon.

Smoked a Habano wrap the other day and was not impressed.

I too was expecting a slap in the face, full flavored cigar. Not very "strong" at all and it was really one-dimensional until about halfway, when it turned to pure ammonia. Tried a purge and it didn't help.

Would I try another one? Sure. Won't buy another one though.

I tried my first Cain today, a 660 Habano and found it to be very smooth and far from anything that would kick the ass of any seasoned smoker. Burn was excellent for a big stick and had a nice draw. Overall pretty much right in line with the original review. Good Cigar.
