Cusano Cigars CC in Review

BRAND: Cusano
BLEND: CC

WRAPPER: Sun Grown
BINDER: Dominican
FILLER: Dominican

FORMAT: Churchill (7.5x50)
ORIGIN: Dominican Republic
INTENSITY: Mild-Medium

NOTES:
Suede | Butterscotch | Salted cardboard

Mainly smooth-sweet. Not unpleasant but there are murmurings of over-trying. Cedar falls-back to cardboard(salted). Chamomile settles into bitter dandelion. White pepper and cardamom stay nice.

I'd call this a Double Corona but I am a pedant. Mixed filler bundle stick but I am no snob. Nothing to fully complain about in terms of construction &/or combustion.

Green spots on cigars are neither mold nor mould but simply visual indications of chlorophyll left behind on account of an imperfect drying process. These green spots do not affect the smoking experience although people do eat with their eyes. [This is to say that there is a green spot up by the cap here.]

TASTE: B
DRAW: B
BURN: B+
BUILD: B

FINAL GRADE: B
A 90-100 B 80-89 C 70-79
