Cusano Corojo '97 Toro
Origin: Dominican Republic
Size: 6.00 X 50
Wrapper: Equadador Corojo

Cusano Cigars:
This dark and spicy corojo has a smooth, silky texture and a perfect cap. It has a fine toasty aroma. Flavors are great from the start, smacking of wood and leather. It's steady and rich, leading to a smooth, cedary finish. Body is medium to full. The spicy Mexican Sumatra binder compliments the 1997 wrapper's sharp flavor and results in an incredibly flavorful, spicy cigar.

Notes:

This was my first cigar. Not the first one I smoked, but rather the cigar that turned me into a cigar nut. I can still picture very clearly the night I first smoked one. My oldest daughter sat outside with me and laughed as I continuously said, "Wow, this is a killer cigar. No, really, it is." Whenever I feel I derserve it, this is my go-to cigar.

This is a spicy yet smooth smoke. The spicy Sumatra binder blends perfectly with the bite of the Corojo wrapper. There are many underlying flavors, while "creamy" doesn't fit, maybe vanilla or something else does. The burn is always perfect, forming a long ash.

Aroma (gets its own section). This is what really sets this cigar apart. It's deep and sensuous. The only thing I can equate it to is a beautiful woman on a hot summer's night. Overkill? Nope. Try one and see for yourself.
