The Cuvee No. 151 Maduro Cigars are the fullest cigar in the Cuvee line. The 151 uses an extra dark Brazilian Maduro wrapper while fillers and binder all hail from the Dominican Republic. This cigar is perfectly balanced and medium to full bodied. Earth tones, Wood, and Cocoa are evenly balanced in the flavor with subtle notes of coffee and cream in the finish. Cuvee is the French term used to denote wine of a specific blend or batch. The word originates from the French word cuve meaning vat. Heavily influenced by soil, climate and water and water table, great cigars and champagnes have much in common. Great champagne is created by harvesting the finest grapes and fermenting each specific variety separately. The vintages are then combined in artful proportions to optimize each blend or Cuvee. Understanding the characteristics and composition of each plot of soil, allows the Cusano's to select the ideal tobacco variety to plant and grow. They then maximize the the qualities of each component. Fermentation of the leaf varieties are undertaken seperately to achieve the ideal balance and nuances offered by nature to create a harmonious blend.
