Cusano "59" Rare Cameroon and Habano LXI Sun Grown
We produce our cigars in the
Dominican Republic
using only the best tobacco's from all over the world. We also use
wrapper tobaccos as binders and fillers in our cigars. Wrapper tobaccos are
between 30 and 50 % of the flavor of a cigar. They are more expensive but used
in other positions give the cigar more character, flavor and complexity. This
is our philosophy to give the buyer more then they expected. Our quote:
"Discover what a cigar should be," is how we feel about the cigars we make.
The Cusano lines are highly rated in Cigar
Aficionado, Smoke Magazine, European Cigar Journal, Cigar Press and the Robb
report. The Cusano lines provide great quality, consistently and value. Cusano
is for the cigar smoker who wants a great cigar that they can have every day.
We take extreme efforts to ensure our products are consistent year after year.
Our quality control is extensive to ensure that every cigar the
customer receives meets our quality standard. Cusano's are noted for their
consistency. One of our long time customers coined the phrase "They Draw
Like a Straw" to describe the effortless draw our cigars are noted for.
Joseph Cusano wrote to Cigar Weekly earlier this year. He told us:
"Thomas,we have lots of things going on now;we are opening a new facility in the Dominican Republic.
There are some exciting new Cuvee and Cusano products releasing soon.
Both of the new Cusano brands are medium full to full bodied range.
The First is the Cusano "59" Rare Cameroon. This cigar has
rare East African Cameroon wrapper with a Dominican wrapper in the filler.
It's as strong as I would make a Cameroon
while not overpowering the Cameroon
flavor.
The next is the Cusano Habano LXI Sun Grown this cigar has a fine
Habano Ecuador
wrapper with a Dominican wrapper used in the filler. This cigar is notably
stronger than any Cusano before but without the harshness associated with many
strong cigars."
