New Cain F's
- Thread starter AlohaStyle
- Start date
Not sure what the F stands for, maybe it means it will F you up?
I also got word these are being added to the regular line, not that we need another person to say it. Good news as these are the best by far of the Cains.

The F in the Cain F stands for fuerte, which means strong in Spanish.

At the release event that we went to at Jungle Jim's, Sam said that it stood for "F-ing Strong," but he said that with a smile on his face, so I'll bet the "Fuerte" is the official meaning. He told people not to smoke one on an empty stomach, or while driving, especially the fresh ones (ours were very fresh he said). People laughed, and Sam said "No, seriously, be careful."

Oh , BTW, Cigar.com has these on pre-release special @ 10/$39.99 which seems like a really great deal to me.
They say these are 5x50 robustos, but I think the Cain F's I have are thinner than that ...

Ahh ... it's an e-mail special, here's the message copied from my email, the address of the e-mail is jjackson@cigar.com
"One of the most anticipated release in recent history, Cain by Oliva has been the talk of the industry. The secret to this cigar is in it's fermentation process. Triple fermented as opposed to the usually single or double fermentation, the hearty and thick ligero tobacco burn just right and taste, well... the taste is incredible. Think leather and earth with a slightly sweet finish, and some nice spices throughout. Cain can be deceptive with its strength. Smooth but fiercely full-bodied, save this one for after a meal!
The yet to be released Serie F is different than the regular production Cain. More of the potent Esteli ligero makes the Serie F a more "full-throttle" smoke. If you love full-bodied cigars, and want to try it before it becomes widely available, here is a deal for you!
Ok ok, so you want to try it? How about 10 Cain Serie F cigars for just $39.90?

I've still got my 5 pack box from when these were released..I really ought to try one.
I like the regular maduro robusto though. Bought a box of the double toro's by mistake (meant to get the robo's).

May have to check these out.
I remember Tuck doing that. He's a special kind of good guy, in my book. The first F I had and the first T110 I had are the only cigars that really killed me with their strength. Loved it!At the release event that we went to at Jungle Jim's, Sam said that it stood for "F-ing Strong," but he said that with a smile on his face, so I'll bet the "Fuerte" is the official meaning.

Do you mean "released" as in for purchase, or included with a box purchase?
How much stronger than the Habano is the F? I enjoyed the Habano Torpedo I had but it wasn't as strong as I thought it would be. If the F's are stronger, I think I might pull the trigger on a box when I get the chance.

I agree, this was my hard to find cigar (no one would sell them single or outside of a box purchase) so when I finally found a B&M who would sell me the 5 pack boxes, I grabbed two. I think they are stronger than the Habanos, yes - they're a strong buzz no doubt.
Let us know what you think about em!

I got a fiver box of the F's as well. Can't remember where I got it , but I think it was Taboo. Mine were all in great shape, no cracks. I still have 2 left and just went in and looked at them. Still good. I think its a fantastic cigar!
