Before becoming a camacho corojo addict I really enjoyed a davidoff special R. In fact, I still keep a box in the humi for those rainy days. Letely I have been smoking some cusano hermanos and have done several side by side comparisons.

Davidoff Special R: Master Blender Hendrick Kelner. Maker Toabcos Dominicanos (Tabadom).
Wrapper Connecticut
Filler Dominican
Binder Dominican

Dont adjust your eyes, on paper they are identicle except in price.
Having smoked both I will not declare them as the same but I would bive them 90%+ similarity. If they were put side by side I could tell the difference but I must say I favor the Hermanos for its consistency and smoke textrure.
So the moral of the story for the Davidoff fans out there. Try the hermanos. A better smoke for 1/3 the price. Same tobacco, same factory, same rollers.
