"overrated"
The Oliva G is so much better. I was REALLY disappointed by this.

"Real pleasure!"
Perfect construction from cap to foot, very evenly rolled. Med-full body, also med strength. The stick gives off much smoke from an easy draw. Burned straight, slow with no problems. I could put it down, almost forget about it and pick it up to a full rich draw. Very nice cedar-y, woody notes that turn into a smooth cocoa...nut note as you hit the last 3rd. Until now i've primarily stuck to Cameroon wrappers (Torano 1916, Oliva G and Don Carlos), but have ventured into more robust/complex smokes and for the price...this is my favorite!! Great job Oliva!!

"Strong beautiful Stick"
A real full body cigar with good flavor. Perfect construction, great burn, great consistency but can be overpowering for some not expecting it.

"Nothing wrong here..."
Oliva makes great cigars. The Cain 550 is more proof. Excellent construction and burn. Great draw and ash. Complex and consistent. You can't go wrong with this one.

"Excellent Smoke"
I bought the maduro 550 and found it to be a bold smoke with leather and coffee notes. Great less expensive to my regular Padron's. I will be buying more.

"Fantastic stick, pure pleasure"
Received the Cain 550 Maduro for Christmas, loved it from the start. Wonderful taste and flavor, consistent in burn all the way through Pure pleasure all the way to the nub.
