I had one of these last winter (the torpedo), and I felt it was just okay. Perhaps it was because it may have needed more time at rest. But now almost a year later I had a Robusto which was given to me by the wife of the owner of the B&M I go to. I just smoked it along with a pale ale. This time it was different, this time it was better than I remembered it. I like the corojo wrapper in general, and it was well done on this Cusano. I didn't smoke it to determine it's flavors, nuances, and construction. Once I fired it up and realized that all of those things were there, I simply enjoyed it. I liked the sweet, spicey taste of the wrapper immediately. The draw was not too tight nor too easy; it was just right. It was creamy and spicey but, but not overly so. At one point I tasted what could have been the taste of steak juices as I get in a well prepared steak. I can't say it was extremely complex because I wasn't looking for that; I was just enjoying this smoke. It smoked cool and the burn was good and the smoke it generated was plenty. The ash was a whitish color and it smoked even after I drew on it.
Overall it was a nice smoke, and a good cigar. I couldn't help but think how fortunate I am to be able to smoke a good cigar.
