Many fans view the Blackbird Cuco Robusto, a 5" x 50 vitola, as the "sweet spot" of the Blackbird portfolio because it strikes the ideal balance between the Brazilian wrapper's intensity and a reasonable smoking duration.

The Cuco features a Criollo wrapper, which offers a more conventional, rich tobacco sweetness as opposed to the Unkind's zesty, citrussy kick. The Unkind uses a Cubra wrapper. 

First Third: Begins with a "pepper blast" that swiftly transforms into soil and cedar.

The "sweet spot" is the second third. You'll get a distinct salty-sweet butteriness, roasted coffee, and rich dark chocolate.

Last Third: The spice comes back. The aftertaste is dominated by notes of black pepper and cinnamon, yet the chocolate stays a creamy background.
