Cain F Toro Review
The Cain F Toro is draped in a dry, rustic wrapper lined with very prominent veins. The smell emanating from the stick was that of hay and barnyard. The prelight flavor foreshadowed what was to come -- spicy earthiness.
Into the first third the Cain F has a great, smooth draw. The thick and chewy smoke leaves a zing throughout the mouth while a spicy-earthy flavor rings forth. The burn is wavy at first but soon corrects itself and the Cain F is off and smoking beautifully.
Cain F is billed as a full-bodied powerhouse, and it certainly is just that. The strength is imminent in the first third, but only grows in strength into the second third. The flavors transition a little bit: the spice takes a backseat while leather and earthiness come into the front.
The burn was going along great until the beginning of the last third. It's as if the cherry hit a wall and extinguished itself completely. A quick relight and into the final third the flavors are still that of leather and an earthy character.
Overall, the Cain F is clearly a well constructed, full-bodied stick. That being said, I found myself getting bored with the same flavors as it isn't the most complex cigar in the world. If you're in the market for a full-bodied cigar with similar -- but better -- flavors, I'd reach for a Man O' War Ruination over the Cain F anyday.
