I've had the Cain Habano and Maduro and found them to be all form no substance. There was a deal on one of the sites for 10 of the Cain F for something like 39 bucks so I took the plunge. Lit one of the F's up tonight and was pleasantly surprised. Very solid medium-bodied smoke with a woodsy/chocalate flavor. Not real spicy and no big changes throughout but very enjoyable for me. It actually reminded me a bit of the Kristoff line. I wouldn't pay much more than I paid for the deal but it was much better than the other Cains I've had.

Glad you enjoyed Scott. I prefer the maduro...the Cain F didn't pack the same "punch" to me. I love that slap me in the face taste. :-) :-)

I am loving the Cain F these days. A real winner in my book. Love the intensity...

At first I wasn't a believer, but now that I have had these I think that the cain line is ligit. Thanks for posting, I am glad you have had a good experience. Your medium bodied comment is surprising because these have been full throttled for me so far.

I can't fathom this being considered anything less than full bodied. I know everyone's tastes are different but I can't think of any cigar stronger than this - T110's are close though.

I loved the one and only original release Cain F I smoked that came in the 5-cigar box with no bands. Dare I say... it reminded me of the ISOM flavor profile. I have 3 boxes and am afraid to try another one as I'm sure the 2nd one won't live up to my memory of the first... I'm thinking it was just a great smoking experience more than the cigar, so I'm afraid to ruin it!?! LOL

I'll try another this weekend but they were on the full side of medium-bodied for me.

Thanks for the review! I've heard good things about the Cain lines. Since I like the Oliva O and V and the Nubs, I assume that I'll like the Cains. I have yet to try them. They are all still on my "get and test" list lol.

Had one of these on Tuesday, not impressed. Lots of ligero but virtually tasteless. Lots of body but no substance. Wont be smoking another. :-)

I like the Cain F but was disapointed it didnt have as much as a kick as I was looking for.

Felt the kick but it had a decided lack of flavor. Maybe these will be good in time but I really didn't care for the two I had.

I have gotten the same impression with all the Cain's. I do think the F is the best of the three though.

And they made a cain f nub? Ahhh best of both worlds. Bob, I will get one and we could do a ppp. These, along with the rest of the Cains, just didn't have that "taste" to impress me.
