Default Cain sun grown 464t

Now if you read my old reviews you know I am not a big Nub fan, and the only Cain I really liked is the Cain F550, but when I saw this Cain sun grown 654T, a nub sized Cain sun grown torpedo with a price tag of € 7,50 I decided to light it. The cigar is quite new I guess as the Cain website doesn't even mention them.



Once I release the cigar from the cellophane wrapper I see an oily and shiny wrapper, quite dark, with a few veins. Like all nubs and cains, the cigar has a band on the foot. The construction feels good. The predraw is fine and I taste a mild and dry tobacco flavor.



I taste a dry and spicy earthy flavor with some sweetness. The flavors are full, just like I expected from a Cain. After a third I taste wood with a mild sweetness.



Halfway I taste another, a better, wood flavor with a floral support flavor and some pepper. I also taste a little bit of nut.



Even though this is a short smoke, it lasted me for an hour and forty five minutes. The draw is good, a little on the mild side of good though. The smoke is thick and plenty. This cigar is full bodied and full flavored and has a firm silvergray ash.



Would I buy this cigar again? I just might, when I want something thick & phat.

Appearance: 7 / 10
Construction: 8 / 10
Draw: 7 / 10
Burn: 8 / 10
Smoke & ash: 8 / 10
Aroma first part: 7 / 10
Aroma second part: 7 / 10
Aroma third part: 7 / 10

The Cain you have pictured is a Habano wrapper, not Sun Grown.

You just can't trust the Dutch for anything!

you know, this remark could get you in trouble. I foresee a box of Guantanamera Cristales in the near future for you.

Not sure why I used that emotiocon, it just cracks me up I guess.
