I would say more along the lines of a Cain F Medium. It has a pepper and spice but more refined. The flavors are more disearnable since the pepper and spice do not overwhelm the cigar like the Cain F does. I will do a more formal review at a later date as I want to give it my full attention. I smoked it last week so I couldnt do it justice. I knew that once I returned I wanted to share my intial thoughts and due to a more formal release today on C.Com I decided to give those interested a compairison. I would not hesitate buying a box and I just did. So look for more info sometime next week.
Purchased a box of these to split with a couple guys on the board. Really enjoyed the flavor profile of the Daytona, I think with a few months rest it will be quite nice.
Nice review, I missed the last box split and will have to wait for another opportunity. I like the idea of the #4 since i have been adding some coronas to my stash.

Might want to hit up Millennium115, otherwise known as Stav, he pm'd me asking about the split. Perhaps he'd be interest in doing one with you.
When you have a chance could you shoot me a pm with what the price is for that sampler? I'm supposed to have the Studio Tobac event here in Dallas in April and I'm looking to pick up one of those and was just wondering what kind of cash I'm going to have to shell out. Thanks a lot!
i had similar tastes when i tried this cigar. (review on this page) my only problem is that i think the one i got was not in the aging room long enough. i got it off the rolling table at the oliva factory. so... it was a bit young. the intended flavors were there but the ammonia flavor was there a bit as well also.

There is still a sharpeness of young tobacco, but I dont pick up the sharpness or tang of ammonia flavors so it must have dissapated. I still think another 6 months would balance out the cigar a bit more but it is very smokeable ROTT. It has great aging potential.

Hey Puro, if I shoot you the money prior to the event, and they let you buy more than one sampler, you mind picking me one up as well? This is the first time I've seen/heard about that Nub San Andreas Maduro. The regular Nub Maduro is absolutely my favorite Nub, and one of my favorite offerings from Oliva in general.

Sounds good. This almost has me thinking you work for the company with the heavy promotion of 2 Cain smokes lately, lol. Either you loved them that much or you're a paid promoter. No but seriously, I love the Cain Maduro torpedos I have, have 15 more aging for a good long time.
Just smoked my first one of these and it was great. I agree they have alot of aging potential, and will almost certainly get better with a few months. Even right now though, great smoke.
How about that San Andreas Nub? Seeing them in the pics you guys have posted of the samplers is the first I have heard about them, did they say when they would be going in to production on those?
That would be awesome, you think Ccom has them? I'll have to see, gonan be picking up a box of Illusione's next week, might have to have Tim throw on a 5er if they have them in already....

I was pretty sure at the event that they were not in production yet, the Nub San Andres Maduro. The Daytona is in fully fashion but I didnt think the San Andres Maduro was a regular release. If they are out please PM where I can obtain, and thank you for the info. I really liike these.
