In 1995, business took the owner of a Wall Street investment firm to the Dominican Republic. There the long-time cigar aficionado, Michael Chiusano discovered a local smoke that "knocked his socks off!" He thought he'd have a thousand made for clients but word spread and he soon had orders for 10,000. The rest is Cigar Street history. Thinking "Cusano" would be easier to say than "Chiusano" when raving about the fine sticks he makes, Michael called his company "Cusano Cigars."
The Cusano Maduro is a no frills, no nonsense smoke. There isn't anything flashy about the packaging or band, and instead you get a handmade that uses high quality tobaccos that deliver consistent flavors. Hailing from the Dominican Republic, the Cusano Maduro comes draped in a San Andrés Maduro wrapper that secures an Ecuadorian Connecticut binder and a blend of Domincan long-fillers. Together, this smoke will produce medium bodied notes of coffee, wood, spice, and earth with the classic maduro sweetness throughout. This everyday smoke pairs wonderfully with your favorite stout.
