Cain Cigars, from Oliva's Sam Leccia
Sam Leccia had a winner with his hugely popular Nub line, and the Cain looks to be another hit. It's a power cigar (83% ligero) similar to the Edge or LFD Chisel.
Initially your pallet will be flooded with a very full bodied cigar producing a black pepper profile. After some initial puffing you may start get a feel for the toasty and leathery notes you will encounter later. Cain is very complex on the profile despite being extremely powerful.
Continuing to be complex and interesting the black pepper blast has finally decreased enough to enhance the overall smoke. The woodsy note will be the most prominent secondary flavor assisted with a bit of earthiness. A sweetness comes through with the thick smoke and remains on the pallet until your next draw.
Finishing the cigar is an absolute joy. Much to my surprise the Cain cigar is very creamy and smooth. You will get an equal mix of black pepper, spice, wood, and earth finished off with just that right amount of sweetness. Cain is a complex smoke that any full body cigar lover will enjoy.
