C & C Corojo – A Simple Everyday Cigar

Just got a couple of new smokes form the NATO show in Las Vegas.  This one from C and C Cigars is made by one of the brothers Cusano, formerly of Cusano cigars.  I didn’t really know what to expect since I had been told that the retail price of the cigar was around $4.

When you first look at the cigar, it looks like a boring and ordinary stick.  It has a nice reddish brown Ecuadorian Corojo wrapper.  It punched without a problem and lit easily.  The first fw puffs had no obvious bitterness.

The taste of this smoke is one note.  It has a spicy flavor like a black pepper, neither sharp nor offensive.  I found that the taste did not vary at all for the entire smoke.  It is neither full or mild but rather a middle of the road cigar.

The cigar smoked well.  It remained lit burning evenly for its entire time.  It held a nice medium gray ash.

At around $4. this is intended as an every day cigar.  And, it delivers all it promises, a nice even well made smoke.  If you like a slightly spicy cigar, this is for you.
