Cusano 1997 Corojo Robusto

[CoventryCat86]

I'm not a fan of these mostly because as CigarJack mentioned, the draw is way too loose for my liking and I don't find the taste of these to my liking.

I smoked the Churchhill Size of the CC, Cuban Style Cusano today and was a bit unimpressed. It tasted rather bitter and boring and as stated, had a poor draw but somewhat of an even and slow burn.. I would not likely smoke another because after indulging I pretty much lost all desire to smoke another cigar.. Maybe I just got a bad one because it left a pretty bad taste in my mouth.

Yeah the CC is nothing to write home about.

I think i'm going to have to go out and pick myself up a Corojo and Anniversary today.

I don't put much stock in what CA says. Cigars are subjective, what you love others may hate.

I have a good number of Cusano P1's. Absolutely horrid cigar to smoke right after purchase. To me, it's one ofthose that you have to let sit for awhile. I must say that I've enjoyed these after the initial six month sleeping period in my coolidor. Cusano also has an interesting website as well. I bought a bundle of the P1 corona sized cigars.

Just last night I tried my first Cusano 1997 Corojo Torpedo. The flavor was pleasant, not great but not bad by any stretch, and it did have a nice ash. It did have a few flaws however. As mentioned by others the draw was very loose and it burned uneven. The one I was smoking also started to unroll at the shoulder. There is no way I cut it too high and caused it. I actually had to slide the band towards the shoulder to help keep it together. The other problem I had was keeping it lit. I had to relight it 3 times but will give it a break on this problem because it was rather breezy where I was sitting and this could have contributled to the problem. As I said, the taste was enjoyable but the other problems made it a hassle to enjoy.
