Cusano Xclusivo Cigars

When I tasted Davidoff's Special Anniversary blend commemorating their 50th year of selling in China, I was intrigued by its power. The cigar was handed to me by their Master Blender in retaliation to my comment that Davidoff's reputation was that of a "mild cigar". They smiled with anticipation as I lit the cigar and they were pleased to see my reaction (eyes watering and all)... I loved it! Obviously, we would not simply re-label an existing Davidoff blend no matter how special, nor would their blenders allow such a thing, so... We were forced to make it better!

Keeping the power of the underlying filler blend, we enhanced the experience with a very rare filler leaf that stimulates the taste buds on the side of your tongue and actually makes your mouth water as you "sip" the cigar. This sensation gives you the feel that you are actually "drinking" the cigar. It is one of the most fascinating cigars I have ever smoked.

To cap it off, we use a hybrid Cuban/Connecticut Shade wrapper (same as on the Cuban Sancho Panza line) which we double-ferment to a leathery perfection. The wrappers' strength comes from the Cuban side and its smooth creaminess from the Connecticut Shade, all blending together to disguise its power under a cool, smooth, mouth-watering smoke.

This is what the great cigars of Cuba were like.
