I ordered Candy Cane a while back and it tastes like "cinnamon" to me too. It does not taste like sweet cinnamon like most of the "Atomic Fireball" juices out there but when I ordered Candy Cane, I also ordered Fire Ball from FSUSA and they taste almost exactly the same to me. It's more of a dry cinnamon than sweet. Back when I posted about this most people who replied said that Candy Cane tasted like sweet peppermint to them. I tried steeping it but even after a few months it still tastes like Fire Ball to me. I guess it is just one of those flavors that tastes right to most people but tastes way off to others. I have had no issues with any of the other 10 or 15 flavors that I buy from FSUSA so it is just something about Candy Cane that my taste buds don't respond to.
I'm not bashing Candy Cane. Just wanted the OP to know they are not alone.
