Cusano Celebrity Series

l.  I am using a 1-to-100 score but it is not similar to the ratings by CA and the such.  For my reviews here is the key.  I am rating them according to my personal tastes but also for construction and burn.

90+=Classic.  In theory only the true masterpieces will fall in here.
80-89=Good (low 80's) to Excellent(High 80's) cigars. 
75-79=Solid cigar I would enjoy smoking again.
70-74=Borderline acceptable for my tastes.  Probably not one I will revisit but not horrible
60-69=Not enjoyable to me flavorwise.  May not fit my taste profile and others may enjoy.
59 and below=Bad cigars I would not recommend to anyone.

Here is how I rated the various offerings from the sampler. (score in parenthesis).  All were churchills.

I sampled these on three different days

P1-(Supposed to be a Partagas/Punch Clone)....Good construction and a nice even tight burn...nice draw,,,great flavors..earthy, chocolate, espresso...middle third the best....very solid..Partagas or Punch??  Sure...maybe better....Score=83

MC-S(upposed to be a Montecristo Clone).
..Construction is good...burn was solid and the draw was fine but a just a little tight...good but not great flavors but more of a personal preference...I'm struggling to identify the flavor but it is found in other name cigars I have had that I also didn't find suting to my taste...I'd say woody but I like some woody smokes.......a little harsh on the end...I can see people liking this one a lot if this is your thing but for me it is just ok...Bottom line if someone offered me one of these I would gladly smoke it but it wouldn't be one I would want to purchase again myself.  Montecristo??  I guess I can see the similarities...Score=73

M1-(Supposed to be a Macanudo clone)
....draw a little tight...burn a bit uneven in spots but never a major issue...mild smoke in body but the flavor to me is harsh particularly in the last third...flavors were OK....creamy at times....but the harshness of the finish really turned me off...Macanudo??  I haven't had one in awhile but I remember it as being smoother on the finish...not a cigar I would want to try again. Score=67

Overall Thoughts:..Decent cigars but not as good as the cigar.com blends in my opinion...I will probably order some P1's in the future though.

    The P1 is my favorite of that line as well and probably my favorite offering from Cusano.
