The Cigar
Cain Maduro Double Toro
Straight Ligero
I like this cigar and I have a good dozen or so in the
humidor but, it has been a year or so since I last had one.
Off the Light: earthy tones of dry soil and wood. As the burn continues it reminds me of a
medium earthy coffee.
This cigar was pretty consistent all the way through. I smoked it slowly – it has been an hour and
a half and I still have an inch to go.
My Strength Rating: 6 – a nice medium-full body with good
earthy tones a just a dusting of white pepper.

The Pairing
The lightly sweetened honey dipped candy fruit added a

The green peppercorn note of the Balvenie mingled well with the earthy
style and light white pepper note of the cigar.
