Cusano Freedom Toro CRA Blend

Size: 5 x 50
Purchased: Free cigar with CRA membership
Time Smoked: 1800
Date: 05/31/2010

There was a light barnyard oder from the cigar pre-light. Overall the construction was great except for the cap which looked a bit rough. The cold draw was cream with a subtle grass undertone.

The first half inch was buttery cedar with strong bitters. After that the bitters dropped out and the cream from the cold draw took over and deepened as the cigar developed. Halfway through the length, some pepper tones underlay the cream. The finish had burning grass and became very sharp.

This is one of the random cigars from CRA. If you happen to get this one when you sign up, enjoy the body of it, but I would suggest putting down when the grass comes into the finish.
