Cigar: Cain Maduro (5.75 x 50)

Cost: Free because a friend gave it to me. Thanks BengalMan

Drink: Barq's Creme Soda

This is a triple fermented 100% ligero cigar that was created by Sam Leccia.

Appearance: This has a maduro wrapper on it. There were no veins showing. The band is simple and classy. The appearance gets a 8/10

Pre-Light: It has a strong flavor that is hard to describe.

Construction: Held an average ash. The ash was kind of flaky. The draw was perfect. The cigar required only a few minor touchups because I am very picky about having a cigar burn perfectly

Taste of the cigar: This cigar has a peppery and woodsy flavor to it. I also picked up a hint of chocolate at one point.

Here is my smoking buddy Henry:

Strength: This is without a doubt a full bodied cigar.

Summary: This cigar was really, really, really, (did I say really?) good. I would definitely these again. I give it a 9/10.

Sounds like a decent stick. I'm more interested in Barq's making a creme soda. I never knew!! :-)

Got mine the same place as Kelly... and really enjoyed it! :-)

First taste was a tad harsh, but settled down quickly. A far better-than-average smoke.

Also tried the habano wrapper... still a full bodied stick, but was a little more mellow than the maduro. Both are fine cigars, no doubt! :-)
