That CAIN is freakin fantastic! I was really blown away smoking the natural wrapped one. Didn't smoke the maduro yet, but I will in the next day or 2. My favorites of the show were the CAIN, the My Father 1922, the San Cristobal with the sungrown wrapper, and the Liga Privada T52.

Very cool…I was wondering about that whole "Straight Ligero" thing, though, as I've heard from practically every cigar bigwig, aficionado, and store owner that a 100 percent ligero cigar wouldn't burn right. So the Cain isn't really "Straight Ligero" but just "Mostly Ligero." I'll be interested as to what kind of marketing-speak they will come up with to reconcile the claim on the band with the reality in the blend.
