What just happened??


Ever been completely blindsided by a cigar, and not in a bad way? Well . .

After punishing myself for the last couple of days with some not-so-great sticks just to clear out the humidor I decided to continue the abuse with one I'd never heard of. This Cuvee came in a sampler pack along with some very fine offerings, so my expectations were VERY low. To my surprise it reminded me of what cigars are supposed to be . . ENJOYABLE!

The Cuvee 151, made by Cusano, is a Brazilian Maduro wrapped stick filled with Dominican tobaccos, and it isn't generally cheap. A five pack of Robustos will run about $37 bucks. I found it to be smooth with flavors of creamy sweet coffee. No complex flavor changes, but with clean pleasant taste all the way to the nub, who cares! The burn qualities were excellent, it produced voluminous, aromatic smoke and a solid, clean ash. What more can you ask for?

  1. Hi,

    My name is Brian and I am the owner of ThePerfectAshtray.com. It's a new ashtray website that I started roughly 3 months ago on a whim. I came across your site today and was wondering if you would be interested in exchanging links with my site. Or perhaps I could do a sponsored post about some of my products or maybe the story of the adventure of starting a new ecommerce store. If that's not possible I would also be interested in learning if you have an advertising opportunities as well.

    Thanks and look forward to hearing from you.
