Cusano 10th anniversary robusto

5 X 42
Wrapper = Ecuador
Binder = Mexico
Filler = Dom.Rep, Honduras, USA Conn.broadleaf

I smoked my 3rd one of these today on my lunch hour.....and still can't like it. Each one of these that I have smoked has left an unpleasant aftertaste in my mouth. I have read the ads on several web-sites that refer to these as leaving a "wet" sensation on your palate....but I get insta-dry mouth and bad aftertaste with every pull, from start to finish. I try to get different flavors by doing the nasal exhale, but that makes it worse and adds some serious stinging to the experience.

I really wanted to enjoy these since I like the other cigars that Cusano makes (with the exception of the M1 which is too bland).

I searched here for a review on these but could not find one....does anyone here smoke these regularly and like them? I would be interested to hear other reviews/opinions of these.

Thanks for the review. My experience of Cusano is just the opposite. The C10 is the only one I'd make any effort whatsoever to smoke. It's not crowding into my top 10 (or even 25) list by any stretch of the imagination, but it is the best Cusano I've tasted (including the 1997 and both versions of the 18).

Interesting I hated the Cusano 18. I also got a very chemical and bitter bark taste out of the one I tried a few weeks ago.

I had a cusano c10 today. I liked it. It had a strong leathery taste the first inch or so, which wasn't horrible but not quite to my liking, but after that it was pretty good.

I thinkthe C10 - queen coronas are far superior to the C10 - Robustos IMO.

I used to enjoy the Cusano 18 and the Corojo and as my pallet is changing I dont enjoy these as much these days. I didnt like the C10. Good review though. asa long as you like them.
