Cain Daytona 4
I was thankful to try this cigar earlier than released. Which I was thankful for as it was an immediate buy for me before the official release. I have no reservations suggesting this cigar to anyone that enjoys the Cain profile, but is looking for flavor versus strength.
Preflight
A velvety smooth wrapper with a brownish orange wrapper with triple cap head and a silky smooth body, initial draw of sawdust and cedar noted. Construction is perfect and the draw is as it should be like a creamy milkshake.
First third
A strong red pepper in the nose with a cedar back note strong tobacco noted. Cocoa begins to show up on the sides of my tongue.
Second third
The pepper notes are mellowing. This is a strong medium full notes of cocoa powder flavor.The burn is razor straight. A sweetness on the tongue with cedar and cocoa that continues on through to the final third.
Final third
I am able to retrohale 100% as the pepper has mellowed and moved from the sinuses to the tongue. This allows you to enjoy the flavors much more as the cocoa and cedar are more defined and some leather begins to break through. My mouth beginning to water.
Final thoughts
This is a daily smoke worthy of aging which will take this cigar from grand to stellar. I enjoyed this stick as much as the F, although I would tend to enjoy this cigar much more due to the medium full strength and profile. The #4 is the perfect size and balance. A 40 min smoke that is refined from a Cain F while maintaining the Cain Style. I would buy another box without much hesitation to store and age another 2-5 years. If I can last that long. 2011 Studio Tabac Tour: Some Photos for those interested!!

of course i got mine a while back with no post roll age... so what should i expect?
i still have high hopes that this cigar will be my favorite of the cain line.
I didn't like Oliva's much and as much as the Cain's have impressed me of late. I a just love these cigars. Now if Cain offered me a job to endorse these cigars and supply me with an endless cigars I wouldnt mind.
So far I have only smoked the Lancero, FF, and the ST-DS. I will let report back once I do. So far the Lancero and the FF were awesome.
I'm hopeful, I would like to try it in a longer but smaller ring gauge. What didnt do it for me was the filler, it was too strong and going in the direction of a large ring gauge, like a nub, would place too much in the filler. I am hope it wont, but the filler is what ruined it for me.
Finishing up a review on the San Andreas Nub, I believe it is a keeper. I hope they do go into production.
