Cain Daytona Double Toro 6.0 X 60
At first glance the wrapper and prelight draw seem to be a Connecticut shade but don let this fool ya.
Gentlemen fire up your lighters! The first draw and the reminder that this is far from your grandpas cigar.
Notes of spice smack the pallet and the milder Habano wrapper screams in like the first turn at Daytona . But as the cigar furthers itself into the first inch it seam to balance out on all four tires. This cigar is call a 500 horsepower but it to me is more like 800 . The flavor of nuts and a very settle sweetness adorn this 6.X60 This Chariot built for race day is defiantly finishing in the top five IMHO. As we come around the 200 lap(2nd inch) this is a definite cigar for the new driver as well as the seasoned pro. A gentle punch of the gas and an exhaust through the nose reminds you that this baby still has ample horsepower without overwhelming the driver. " and a hush comes over the crowd"
This baby is holding on to its ash as well as any car ever has! 2" in and no sign of a blowout. The pit crew from the Studio Tobac is waving us in but as the driver I thin this cigar will go at least another 100 laps (inch)before a tire change. This long thick chariot is purring along effortlessly when all of a sudden Butterscotch or creamy taffy adds to the fuel tank. A very pleasant surprise for a 800 HP cigar. As the laps seam to be flying by at 300 its time for a tire change. The crew asks" Mr G-man hows she feel" I respond like a butterscotch Sunday and has alot more to offer. So lets get this back on the track and see how much shes got in er.
As I'm getting into my grove what do I see The man ,The legend that first introduced me to this wonderful world of Studio Tobac Mr. Lee Nub himself waiting for his shot at driving the # 2 car.As were into lap 400 I notice the oil building up and call into the genius of pit crews and Mr Nub is on the head set telling me its all good just keep the peddle down. Its been a long time since this much oils built up on the outside and still a creamy dreamy soft but ample ride continues. This cigar is a pleasure to handle and its gracefulness is going to be hard to catch by anyone in the up coming year.
As were nearing lap 450 the flavor and the creaminess have increased to the cream a la crem.All of a sudden the #2 driver The king of Nubs is getting into his fireproof suite to take his chariot on its Dabue run. Man I tell you that man is anxious!
Coming into lap 500 I am still in disbelief at how smooth and well balanced this cigar has remained during its trial run.
I didn't even have to throw any gears or re fire the engine straight out the freight truck. Man I'm impressed! Its been a long time coming for cigar fans on every continent ! Cigar fans this has been 1 of the most memorable days in the 2011 year and were still on the sweet end of this race. And I do mean this cigar is getting sweeter as it purs along at 800 MPH. Now with the checked flags in sight I do believe this is the only cigar of its size going to finish this race so It must be a winner.
Now onto the G-man victory lap. As the driver rounds this track for the last time he asks himself" was this a truly great race ?" He responds self !" There has not been a cigar that has come along this year and probably won't be 1 that can even sniff its fumes"
A reporter asks a question . would you have this cigar in your garage and I say many of them. This was rated 4.5 out a possible 5.0 the only downfall was I wish it could have stayed in the Daytona just a bit longer
