Cain F

I just picked up a Cain maduro torpedo from my local B&M today, and I kid you not, the foot smells like candy.

Wow, it made you hurl even after a big dinner? That's crazy! The last cigar that kinda made me quesy was an OpusX, that sumbitch sneaked up on my ass too.

I enjoyed the Cain F, thought it was better than the normal Cain habano, need to compare it to the maduro, I don't remember the one I had well enough.

I smoke most full-bodied cigars on an empty stomach, that way I can gauge just how much power they have. I've never had a cigar make me hurl, but I do smoke 3-8 a day so....

damn, lucky you. I agree though, I've never had an issue with smoking cigars with out eating. Even a opus x xxx I didn't have any issues.

I smoke on an empty stomach for the same reasons cabi mentioned. I like to know just how powerful a stick really is. I have never had a stick make me sick, I just get that good buzz from the more powerful sticks. I have not had a Cain F yet because I am letting them sit for a few months before I light up, but I have had bothe the maduro and habano and they were pretty strong but not overly so.

I think that if I wouldn't have been so full I would've been fine. I will be smoking a couple Cains this week, courtesy of Evan and I am sure that this time, I will not be the one overcome with the power of the cigar. This time, no double toro and smoke it a little slower too.

wow.. Did you like it? I enjoyed the maduro a lot more than the natural. I had a robusto size. I did get a big strength kick at the beginning but it mellowed out. Maybe you smoked it too quickly?

I just tried the F the other night. Great construction and a looser draw than I would have liked. Real strong flavors of wood for me but not much else. Got a bit too full for me towards the last 3rd, but I'm chalking that up to it being fresh out the mailbox and my green palate. I'll try it again in about a month.

sightunseen: Don't expect the F to be any mellower after only a month, I smoked my third one today out of a fiver I got a couple months ago and it still kicked my ass. The flavors do develop more though with some rest time. I think it is a flavorful cigar, but if you're not ready for the strength then the flavors can easily be overwhelmed.

I may have smoked it too fast, as my father in law smoked his torp in the same time as my double toro but yeah, it made me dizzy and everything. I did smoke a Cain Habano courtesy of Ejenne and it was absolutely phenomenal. No crazy buzz or anything. It was a very savory Habano. It is one of my top fav Habanos.

I gave one of these to my brother-in-law yesterday and he loved it. I have 1 for me resting. Looking forward to trying it.

I've had 2 F's and 1 Habano and they're all amazing. I've really gotten into Oliva lately, and these are as good as anything they've put out. All 3 that I smoked have been right off the truck, so I can't wait to see how they taste after a few months on them!

taddow

I will agree. I found that this cigar had a kick to it- I was feeling quesy after I finished it. Next time I'll take a little more time smoking it.

I smoked my first Cain Habano and Maduro recently. The Habano was excellent and had some kick which I need. The Maduro was way to tight, burned bad and was not enjoyable. I think it was just a bad stick

Agree this was probably a bad stick. I had the same awhile back and construction was good (draw was a bit tight). Do not recommend this smoke before bed or on an empty stomach CCom review is pretty much right on in my opinion - lots of flavor and strength, not complex.

I picked up a Cain Habano and a Cain F two weeks ago from a local B&M. They are actually both for one of my friends since his current favorite cigar is the CAO LX2. I imagine he will like these. I on the other hand probably won't have one of these. I love a cigar with full flavor, but a cigar with too much body just ruins the experience for me. I don't like feeling woozy after a cigar.

I dug this thread up because I just had my first Cain F experience today. I went with the 60 x 6 Double Toro. I must say, it lived up to the hype. It took a good inch, inch and a half, to really open up, as far as strength, but it was definitely a full-bodied, full-flavored smoke. I enjoyed it while watching a couple NCAA games. I didn't even care when ND lost because of the huge buzz this thing gave me......... but back to the smoke. It was consistent the whole way through. Even burn, long ash, heavy smoke out-put. Another beauty from the Oliva family. I will definitely be looking to score a deal on a box of these badboys.

I had one Cain F, I really liked it a lot. Completely different than the Maduro and Habano. I need to revisit the stick again though, my memory was a little faded due to innebriation. I do love the Habano though, it's so damn good.

I feel like such a new kid (but, I am!) I assume that when someone talks about the body of a cigar being full, they are referring to the strength of the "buzz" you feel while smoking it? I know that in my limited experience I have definitely had some sticks make me a little dizzy and make my stomach do some jumping jacks.

You've pretty much got it. Flavor is what you taste, body is what you feel.
