OK, this is not a review but a rating...

My rating on the Daytona is....Dog Doo Doo!!!!!!!
Br> Absolutely the worst stick that I have smoke to date. It was so bad the 1st time, that i waiting another month to try it again to see if the 1st was just bad. Nope, both sticks sucked so bad that I only got through the 1st stick half way and the second stick the 1st third.

I wrote once that the Ava Maria tasted like baseball diamond infield dirt and hated it. Well, The Daytona has the Ava Maria beat, hands down. The outer wrapper on the Daytona is equivalent to a 220 grain sandpaper and dry as a bone (no oils in the wrapper at all). The taste of the stick, hell I can't describe it...I'll go with back alley dirt from a bad evil place with rat droppings. No, I’ve never had that before to compare the taste. :0

I have three of these sticks left and wouldn't dare pass them out to another bork in a bomb/trade.

Anyway, this is just my thoughts or rant on this stick.

    I hate hearing about any BOTL having a bad experience with any cigar, but it's nice seeing someone else that agrees that the Daytona is crap. It made my one and only entry into the "Sticks that Taste Like Goat's A$$". I have one more to try in a few months, but I'm certainly not looking forward to it.

    I had one of the Robustos I got from the cotm a few months ago. While it wasn't anything impressive, it wasn't that bad either. Could have been made better though. Which Ave Maria sizes have you tried and hated?

    Haha, that's great! You should have begged a little more though...

    This reminds me of the scene from "Up." "Please, oh please, oh please be my prisoner!" (Doug as he is dragged along the ground holding on the ankle of his prey. {B-)

    The number 4 Daytona (4.3 - 5") is good. It is the only one where you CAN taste the wrapper. The larger vitolas are pure ligero bombs.

    I agree, I think the #4 is the best of the bunch.

    My B&M carries Cain, but passed on the Daytona because he didn't care for it at all.

    And replied sir. Sorry for toon-jacking your thread BTW! :-D

    Just goes to show, different strokes... I've only had the Daytona in the #4, and thought it was pretty good. On the other hand I thought the Cain F was pure goats a$$! I may try it again in a different vitola, but not expecting much. The Ave Maria however is fantastic IMO.

    I'm with you on this one. I don't remember which vitola I tried but it was one of the worst cigars I've ever tried to smoke...had to put it down less than half way in.
  • GlockSmokerGlockSmoker Posts: 5
    I agree. I was looking forward to this one, and was really down when I didn't like it. I got about 1/2 through the first, got another aging for a bit. I didn't like the Ave Maria I had either. The Cuba Libre (not the One, which I like) and Nica Libre Potencia also make my list of "Don't Do That Again" cigars.
  • MperconteMperconte Posts: 367
    Yes to all of the above with exactly the same experiences..
    Tow go arounds on the Daytona, Crap! I almost bought a box when they first came out with all the hype, glad I didn't. Tha Ave Maria, tastes like baseball infield dirt after the guy slides into second cleet first and shreds you knee.

    I recommend making it all better with the La Flor Dominica Air Bender.

    So much to looking forward to smoking one of these. I had high hopes for this cigar. Now I'm not so sure about it. Way to ruin my day. LOL.

    Personally I have only tried the petite corona size (5x43 or whatever it is), and so far it is the only Cain cigar I like, other than the F Lancero, which to me tastes totally different then the regular F. I am really looking forward to the Daytona Lancero. The Daytona blend (to me) has a great nutty character, with a touch of campfire/charred wood that works well for a nice hour long smoke to wind down at night. The Daytona is also considerably milder than the regular Cain lines, which I like, since the Maduro and Habano have basically ZERO balance whatsoever.
