Cusano Line

[tsmckenney]

I smoked a maduro over lunch. Spit. Egh, nasty. A while back I had one of their double connecticuts. That was useless as well. Tasted like a dog turd wrapped in dried grass.

Does anybody like this line?

I've smoked my share of Cusano's and I like them fine, but none of them are "go to" smokes for me. I do keep some on hand though. Not bad, but none have overly impressed me.

How long do you let them sit before smoking? I had heard good things about the maduro...

I attended a Cusano tasting last fall and the only one I enjoyed was the 18 Maduro. My least favorite was the 10th anni and the rest fell somewhere in the middle. Not a cigar I keep on hand. YMMV -

I did a review (my first) of the 18 Maduro here. Not a smoke I'm really interested in trying again, since I've had so many that are better... Smoke what you like, though, and don't knock it until you try it.

I've heard them repeatedly described as beginners' cigars. I agree with that assessment. None of the lines are particularly interesting although most tend to be fairly inoffensive. I smoked seven of their lines as part of a taste test for a local B&M and was not impressed by any of the ones I had. The only one I have not tried is the 18.

I've had several of their cigars. Nothing much to write home about. I've had a couple 18's that weren't bad, but not overly impressive.

I'm not a fan of these at all.
