These Cain cigars really are a great value. Always on sale, a comfortable length and gauge, and they generally draw and burn pretty well. They’re strong, and I enjoy a strong cigar.
Since Holts always teases you with a four pack sampler at checkout that I always forget I bought I generally have one or two of these around and they generally hit the spot. This in particular, the Daytona, is a little lighter on the flavor profile but still has that nicotine spice on the nose and palate.
Usually consume with alcohol as I find it a good companion for the nicotine burn. A flavorful pale ale (or an IPA) like this Dale’s is great.
Been working through a small order of these, these are mid-priced (for me) cigars that hit most of the notes I like. I’m still not the best at identifying flavors but it fits a standard Don Pepin profile, I’m also a big fan of the Tatuaje cigars and really just all his cigars are a little spicy and leave me thinking “Oh boy, I sure do enjoy smoking cigars.”
It truly has been a great change of pace in my life since I started enjoying tobacco again. After I quit smoking cigarettes and went nicotine abstinent for two years I just saw my porch and thought about how boring it would be out there without a cigarette. Cigarettes felt like an annoying compulsive habit. One or two cigars a day and I’m right as rain, sitting outside enjoying the atmosphere and a much more satisfying smoking experience. Cigs don’t even smell or taste good.
I’d say it tastes like it looks. Dark brown. Rich. Woody, leather. Just pleasant all the way. No complaints.
