Origin and Composition

The Cain Daytona is a Nicaraguan cigar. It has a Double Toro format. The wrapper is Nicaraguan Habano, the filler is Nicaraguan Jalapa Valley Ligero, and the binder is Nicaraguan. It's a hand - made cigar priced at $5 - 6.

Appearance

When pulled from cellophane, it has few prominent veins. The wrapper is slightly oily and has a slight orange - tint (an optical illusion from the orange band). The bouquet is strong initially.

Taste Profile

• Pre - lit draw: Mellow and almondy.
• First third: Spicy like Cajun seasoned roasted corn husk, with a pecan - like nuttiness. Burns fast, and the ash is loose and crumbles easily.
• Second and third thirds: Burn slightly slower. The smoke maintains spiciness and develops a slight maltiness, with slight citrus hints in the last puffs.

Overall, the Cain Daytona starts and finishes strong and complex. It's not consistent in flavor but is consistent in body and complexity. It's not suitable for beginners, and the fast - smoking is a drawback.
