Just out of curiosity, what does your B&M owner think about you smoking CC's in his shop?

The actual owner is hardly ever there. The former employees were halfway knowledgeable about cigars and were cool with it. The newer employees don't even come into the lounge.

EDIT: I will buy a cigar there and smoke it there once in a while. Their prices are downright STOOPID. Like $4/stick for Quorums and Alcazars, $7/stick for Oliva G robustos, $6/stick for the short filller La Vieja Habanas, crap like that. When they had JFRs for $5/stick I would buy them.

Look on the top shelf... they have a bundle (20 sticks) of Alcazars for $99

Sorry for the thread jack.

I would be interested in trying these Cains only because of the high content of Ligero they contain. When I can find one I will make the purchase.

I don't think they know the difference in a CC, NC, or an MC Hammer.

I believe it's the don't ask, don't tell policy.

The B&M I got the Cains from doesn't care what you smoke as long as the band is off the CC. Don't really know why they care, but oh well. Of course I buy a few cigars every time I go there, so they really don't care what I smoke. lol

Great Review, Chris! How long did you rest the Cains?

Smoked one last night myself.... found it to be outstanding! Woke up tasting it still this morning...Still good! It sat about 3 weeks in the humi, at 65, and burn was perfect with very few touchups. I will look for more now for sure, really looking forward to trying the maduro version!
