In an article by Gregory Mottola at
CigarAficionado.com, Cusano ceased production of their
Cuvée Rouge cigars and
Cuvée 151 cigars that debuted at last year's Retail Tobacco Dealers Association trade show.
According to Cusano Cigars co-owner, Mike Chiusano, the all-new blends, which have just recently begun shipping to market, will now have "better performance."
The Blanc, which is a very light and fairly mild cigar, has remained on the market unchanged since its inception, retaining its Ecuadoran- shade-grown wrapper. The Rouge, however, was a much darker Dominican puro that had a short release to a few retail shops in the Northeast but was quickly pulled due to performance and flavor issues.
