Gorgeous night - not many clouds, slight breeze, mid 80s outside.

Poured a generous glass of a tasty cabernet/merlot and touched a flame to the end of a Cusano 18. What a way to end the day!

The draw was a little tight, but the flavor was superb and the lingering taste was enjoyable.

This is not a good thing though - for my wallet that is!

Cybrus, good choice of smoke. Alot of us here are fans of the 18. They are fairly inexpensive, but a great looking, nice smoking stick. What size did you smoke?

Something between 4 and 5 inches - very enjoyable. Look forward to trying some of the other Cusano varieties

Good choice Cybrus. The robusto is one of the better sizes. That 18 seems to hold more flavor as a smaller stick.

Had the Cusano 18 Toro yesterday - No loss of flavor on that baby - I smoked it down to a nub - hands down one of my favorite cigars now.

How would you rate it...a full bodied or medium. I've heard you guys talking about em. Maybe I should try one.

Ravyn:

Actually I would put it in the Mild/Medium category. It is tasty though - never had a bad one.

Thanks Kelvin.
In the evening I prefer a full bodied smoke but afternoons are good for medium to light . I'll put this on my try list.

I'd agree...starts off mild and when in full swing, a solid medium with an aroma to back it up!

I had one yesterday when I was golfing - the only enjoyable thing about the round. That, and the cart girl.

Just got one of the C18 Churchil's in the Cigar.com newsletter sampler- I am looking forward to having a good solid hour to sit, relax and smoke that stick! Now Cybru and Calibus have me thinking about picking up some robustos for a quick smoke...this forum works me into a frenzy.

Good choice. The C10 is a really good smoke also. It is a very smooth medium bodied smoke with good flavor.
