Cain Cigars - Nicaraguan Cigars
Nicaragua has been making a name for itself in the cigar industry, and one of the key milestones in the history of Nicaraguan cigars was the establishment of the first cigar manufacturer, Joya de Nicaragua, in 1968. This marked a turning point in the industry and solidified Nicaragua's reputation as a producer of high-quality cigars. Since then, many other brands have emerged, and one of the most daring of these is Cain Cigars.
Cain is a brand that produces revolutionary cigars full of daring. In fact, it's the only brand to offer cigars whose filler is made exclusively of Ligero. Ligero leaves are the highest on a tobacco plant and are known for their strength and complexity. They are usually blended with other types of leaves to create a balanced flavor profile, but Cain takes a bold step in using only Ligero for their fillers.
This approach gives Cain cigars a unique flavor and strength that sets them apart from other brands. They are not for the faint of heart and are best suited for experienced smokers who enjoy a robust smoke. The signature blend is the Cain F, which features a Habano wrapper and Ligero fillers from three different regions of Nicaragua – Estelí, Condega, and Jalapa.
According to Colombian Andres Diaz Cote, a regular smoker of 57, Nicaraguan tobaccos “have a very good body, are round — they are tobaccos that are sweet, some are spicy”. This trait is reflected in Cain cigars as well and is a reason why they are becoming increasingly popular among cigar aficionados.
The inside of each Cain cigar is made with all-Nicaraguan binder and fillers, leaves that were all grown by the Garcia family, who have been in the tobacco business for over three generations. They make sure that only the best leaves are used in their cigars and that these leaves undergo a meticulous aging process to bring out their full flavor potential.
One of Cain's most popular cigars is the Cain Daytona. It has a smooth and oily wrapper that is slightly lighter than the Habano wrapper used in the Cain F. The fillers are also made of Ligero leaves from Estelí, Condega, and Jalapa but are aged longer than those of the Cain F. This aging process gives the Daytona a smoother taste while still retaining the strength that Cain is known for.
In conclusion, Cain Cigars is a brand that is not afraid to take risks and push the boundaries of what is expected in a cigar. It offers a unique smoking experience that is not for everyone but is highly appreciated by those who enjoy a strong and full-bodied smoke. With its exclusive use of Ligero fillers and Nicaraguan-grown leaves, Cain is a brand that truly reflects the essence of Nicaragua's cigar-making traditions.
