CAIN F

The F, which stands for Fuerte, is 82% ligero as compared to 77% ligero in the regular lines.

The Cain is the latest offering from Nub architect Sam Leccia and the Oliva family of cigars. It is billed as a full ligero cigar. This means that the filler is almost 100% ligero. The ligero is the top of the tobacco plant and is billed as the most flavorful and powerful part of the plant. Sam uses 3 different ligeros from Habano Seed Estelí, Jalapa and Condega plants. Each plant name represents the region of Nicaragua that it was grown. 

Fermentation is where the real magic occurs. After curing, the tobacco leaves have all their potential locked inside. It is through patient and vigilant handling that the leaves are brought to the desired result. The tobacco leaves are placed into groups of 20-25 leaves called Manos. The "Manos" are then stacked in large piles called, Pilones. Inside these Pilones the tobacco can reach temperatures as high as 120 degrees. The inner most tobacco generates the most heat. The Pilon is rotated often to allow for even heat exposure. No automation is used in this critical process. It is the work of a tobacco man and his instincts.
