Cain vs Cain

...part 2

Now, on to the Maduro.
I can only give minimum input on this cigar as Hal smoked most of it, but here is my take and hopefully Hal will chime in with his thoughts. Construction, burn and draw were all about the same for this one. However the Maduro had a slight flavor difference. For me this cigar had an odd, but good, flavor. The best way I can describe it is like the slices of ginger that are served with sushi; sweet at first then a bit of spice kicks in. Hal may have some notes of his own, but this was my take. We did both, however, agree that the Habano was the better of the two blends.

Maduro Cigar p*orn time!

Hal decides to give the cigar a mid burn purge


Mid-point burn (note: this is about as far in as Hal smoked, something about being a CC snob and it was beneath him or something ).


So in closing, we found the Habano to be better than the Maduro. Though I would not bad mouth either blend, the Habano just shone through more. Seems like Oliva has a good line on their hands here, and I look forward to having more of these.
