just tried the cusano lxi and the cusano 59 a couple of weeks ago. smoked another cusano 59 yesterday at work (slow day) had a bit of a draw problem with the lxi but not bad, enjoyed both smokes but enjoyed cusano 59 a little more.

Did you notice the power, or full bodied nature of these cigars.. I cant't remember which one, but one of these monsters knocked me down.. I have been smoking a long time and can't remember a stronger cigar.. I was driving at the time and really had to pull over, newbies beware.
Kas , It had to be the lxi, gave me a bit of a rush too. The 59 i'm really considering putting a few up for awhile to see how they age although i've been enjoying straight from the shop.

Well thanks for that info.. I was wondering which was the badass of the two..
I had the LXI last week while in OK. Excellent smoke, it is definetly the most full bodied Cusano but I didn't think it was a power house. Excellent flavor. Mine burned perfectly and went well with the glass of water and the Cormac McCarthy book, "The Road".

Hey Maddy I did enjoy both the LXI and " the road" as I remember there was a lack capitalization or punctuation in the book, and the writing style was rough at best. It took a few pages to get the feel of the writing style, which was perfectly suited for this Pulitzer Prize winning novel, It was impossible to put down. One of the best books I read last year. Did you read " No Country for Old Men." another of his fine works. Hey Urbi, Cormac is a Tennessee boy, which may account for his twisted nature.
I wouldn't doubt it, kas. I think his best book is Blood Meridian. I browsed The Road at the bookstore, and thought it read like a less-good version of BM. I haven't looked at NCFOM, so I can't speak to that one.

On your suggestion I will give Blood Meridian a try ( hope my library has it on the shelf) or else Amazon will be coming by my house soon.
No, the draw was actually rather loose which worked against me since the cigar was so full bodied. I think I would have preferred a tighter draw on that one.
