What exactly is this cigar? I haven't seen it on Ccom, and my B&M doesn't have the Cains in yet.

It was a limited batch that came out with the debut of the Cain line. I'm not sure what the intent behind it was, but it was used as a "buy four; get a Cain F" deal in my cigar shop. Apparently it was a once in a life time run. But rumor has it (in my local shop at least) that their thinking of producing the Cain F for regular purchase. The blend is as follows:
32% Esteli Ligero
25% Condega Ligero
25% Jalapa Ligero
I haven't smoked mine yet, but my friend who smokes full bodied cigars for brunch got green and dizzy from one draw.0 -

Just smoked the Cain maduro over the weekend, wasn't bad at all. Probably not worth the $7.99 I paid for it though.0

I just ordered a 5 pack of the Cain F from Ccom. If I like these I will most likely be getting more just because they are a one time production. Hopefully they turn out to be worth it.0

Hmmm...interesting. I didn't see the Cain F on Ccom, must be a call-in only thing? I have one coming in a trade, if I dig them I will have to call up and order a few. Especially at 5 for $25.0

Those guys sound like they were smoking something else before they got to the Cain...something green.mustluvcigars:

Ah, thanks. I wasn't too fond of the cain, kept having issues with the burn on both cigars... Unless the F is much better....0

The Cain is a good cigar, just doesn't live up to the hype. They need a lot of rest, similar, in my mind, to the CAO eXtreme, though I perfer the eXtreme more.ashley12:I've read about these,im curious. I'm a big NUB fan. O Leccia knows his buisness. Tell me howthey go0 -
My opinion here, I think the F is better than the normal Cain. I thought the flavor was more pronounced and it had a greater complexity....or maybe the flavor was just more pronounced, hard to say as I wasn't really paying close attention.phobicsquirrel:Ah, thanks.

I agree, I picked one of the Habanos from my B&M, rested it for a month and was quite unimpressed when I smoked it.phobicsquirrel:Ah, thanks. I wasn't too fond of the cain, kept having issues with the burn on both cigars... Unless the F is much better....0 -
I bought a box of the Maduro and like them more and more each time I smoke one. I'm still gun shy each time I light one up, expecting to curl up like a baby, but as usual, they mellow as you go and I realize, I'm not going to curl up like a baby. LOL
The F is just a different combination of the ligero's. Look at the blend posted early in the thread, then look at the blend of a regular Cane. If I'm not mistaken, the F is a habano wrapper?
At 1 of the 2 NUB events I was at, it was said that it is planned to be a 2010 release but exactly what and how it will be done isn't decided yet. The source of the information was someone close to the information.![Wink [;)]](/cs/emoticons/emotion-5.gif)
Going a different direction, has anyone that's smoked a Cain, smoked a RP Brothers? I thought it was like a RP Vintage '90 wrapped in a Cain. Very interesting smoke.0
