I enjoy tasting cigars and trying to detect what flavors come from which types of tobacco, so this kind of info is invaluable, and not easy to come by unless you're an industry "insider." This article on Dominican tobacco from Cigar Aficionado is what confused me : "...most do use different varieties of Dominican tobacco: olor, piloto Cubano and San Vicente. These represent the three key tobacco types grown in the Dominican Republic for premium cigars. Piloto is the best of the three, with the seed type originating from Cuba's Vuelta Abajo. Due to the variety's richness and intense flavor, cigar makers use it primarily as filler to supercharge their blends. San Vicente, a hybrid of piloto and originally developed on the farm of San Vicente in the Vuelta Abajo, is slightly less powerful than piloto and more acidic in stimulation, while olor is salty and rather neutral in flavor." http://www.cigaraficionado.com/Cigar/CA_Archives/CA_Show_Article/0,2322,621,00.html This does make it sound like San Vicente and Olor are distinct types, and perhaps they are, but not in your case. Thanks for the clarification -- this can get confusing! And thanks for continuing to make great cigars at an affordable price! Which reminds me, it's time to restock my humidor. I'm almost out of paired maduros! Thanks for the information, Michael.

I am glad that you found the 18 paired maduro to your liking. While Olor is a type of tobacco, San Vicente is actually the growing region that produces a very distinct Olor that stimulates the tastes buds on the sides of the tongue and causes the mouth water. Dominican Olor is so varied since it has evolved many times in different regions. For this reason we only use San Vicente Olor. Since San Vicente is sometimes referenced without the Olor designation it is easy to confuse these as mutually exclusive. Thanks for your kind review.

This is actually the only cigar produced by Cusano I have smoked and I really enjoy them. I pick up two or three singles when they are available at my local shop, mainly because its not your average Maduro. The flavor changes the cigar goes through really do it for me.
