Cain Maduro 660

This double toro cigar is the last of the Cain series for me to try. Now, the other two were really strong. One was spicy, the other just potent. So, when I saw the dark wrap, I was ready for anything.

This cigar had a very tight and even construction. So much so that the draw was a little firm. It took two tries with the punch to get it opened (first one just took the wrapper, the binder was still there). The smell was rich and earthy.

Once it was lit that earthy smell because a strong earthy flavor. Not harsh though. This had a full smoke, strong flavor, yet a mild feel. Not overpowering. After a nice long draw and a full earthy flavor, as the smoke is released slowly, there was a nutty aftertaste with a hint of spice at the end. The aftertaste did not linger either. It is quick, but pleasing.

The only downside was the firmness of the draw. Even that was not bad though. Still a great smoke and great flavor. This is the most mellow of the Cain line, but still great.

At $12.40 plus tax, this is a good buy.

Final Grade: A+
