Cain Habano 660

This is the next Cain cigar I tried, only in a double toro. Again, if you attempt to have this cigar, have some water. It is a Habano wrap with Nicaraguan ligero long leaves from Condega, Jalapa and Esteli as a filler. Same stuff as the "F" Series, but different blend.

Now the "F" had a lot of spice but hints of earthy and cedar flavor. This does not. This has very slight woodsy flavor but one flavor stands out: spice. This cigar, with a slight red wrap, should be glowing with the spice off of it. This cigar had a wonderful full smoke with the strong ligero tobacco inside. The main thing on this one was spice. In fact, most of them have that, but this one, with the Habano wrap, seemed to jump up more.

Now this is not as tightly packed with ligero as the "F" Series and thus a little weaker, but do not let that fool you. This cigar still packs one hell of a punch.

The construction, wrap, and draw were all good. Not one single issue with the burn as well. The time was also around 45 minutes to an hour. For $11.75, plus tax, this cigar was a great buy.

Final Grade: A-
