First off let me start this thread by first apologizing to rck70. Because I know he is a Rocky whore and being that he turned me on to Cusano 18 Double Connecticut this should be an insult to injury. Well I've never done this before so bare with me. The Cusano 18 is a beautiful constructed stick that has 18-year aged Dominican Olor filler tobaccos so that I read. It has two awesome looking Connecticut wrappers one for the binder and a wrapper leaf. Upon first looking at it one can tell this is going to be a great cigar. The prelit draw give off a slight vanilla taste. Upon lighting I get a flavor that I thought wasn't possible to get from a Connecticut wrapper (being a maduro smoker myself). The hint of creamy vanilla explode in your mouth making you wanting more. The stick builds in flavor throughout the stick giving you satisfying and rewarding flavors that make your tongue dance for joy. Believe me when I tell you that you could nub this one down to a nub and still get these flavors (it's true I've done it). A sound 10/10 for this one and I would recommended it without hesitation to any newbie that would like to try a great light cigar that unlike other light cigars this one has flavor and also at a great price (around 5 dollars a stick). Again let me say that I'm a Maduro man and my favorite cigar is the Rockey Patel Vintage 92 or at least it was. The Cusano 18 Double Connecticut has done something that I thought wasn't possible of a Connecticut leaf, and that is say that it is better then a RP and that it is my favorite with the 92 coming a close second behind. With that my you have long ash and go out and buy some Cusano 18 DC I'm sure you want be disappointed.
