On a business trip Michael Chiusano had to go to the Dominican Republic to try the possibility to invest in the sugar industry as he owned a finance company. There he happened to smoke the cigar offered to him. The cigar was so good he brought 100 of them and tried his luck on selling them. Encouraged with success he went on to found the cigar company and now he is enjoying the success of it. Then it was all a success story. The orders started coming in and he went on to get down the stuff and supplied them. Afterwards he developed lot of varieties of cigars and sold and now he has quite a lot of varieties of cigars. Most of the Cusano cigars are handmade in the Dominican Republic.
