Quick Smoke: Cain Maduro Torpedo

Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief take on a single cigar.

When I smoked this Torpedo (6 x 54), I thought it tasted similar to the Habano blend. There was a sharpness to the first half inch before it evened out, and there were none of the flavors that I often associate with Maduro cigars. The wrapper was dark and thick and, while the roll seemed very tight, the draw turned out just fine. The smoke was incredibly thick and the burn was better than the Habano. This $6.80 stick is not a complex smoke, but it does change as it burns.

Verdict = Buy.
