Arganese maduro robusto

Don Fernando · 09-13-2010, 11:23 AM

I smoked two Arganese Maduro's before, the corona and the figurado and I liked both of them, so I was looking forward to this 5x50 maduro robusto too. The wrapper is a Brazilian Matafina and the binder and filler are from the Dominican Republic, part of the filler is Cuban seed.

The Brazilian wrapper is nice and light oily with a few thick veins. The construction feels good and the predraw, which tasted like peppery raisin, is good. The cigar has a simple white band.

I taste a mildly bitter coffee with the sweetness you can expect from a Brazilian maduro wrapper. After a few puffs the bitterness disappears and instead I get some pepper on my tongue and a roasted nut flavor. The pepper and the roasted nut disappears after an inch and a half, I taste coffee and sweet chocolate.

Little over halfway I taste toast, chocolate, a herbal spice and even some mint. The cigar slowly gets spicier towards the end.

I enjoyed this cigar for an hour and twenty minutes and I got a lot of smoke during that time. The draw is good, just like the burn. When I tried to remove the band I damaged the wrapper as the band was glued to the wrapper. The dark as is dense and firm. This cigar is full flavored and medium bodied.

Would I buy this cigar again? Yes I will

Ferdi, That would have been my review!!!

However, I thought I would corner the market on these before I posted my review!!!

What can I say? These cigars have made me the laughing stock of this board, and more specifically the BABOTL!

Remember, Smoke what you like and like what you smoke... Just don't say you like these cigars if you don't have tough skin!!!

hey, I've been positive about Arganese maduro cigars before, check my older reviews

There will be more Arganese reviews in the next few days, and I can reveal that the Maduro is their best stick.

One of my all-time favorite movies, even if it is about as historically accurate as LOTR.

So how do these compare to the ML3? I thought that was a pretty tasty stick.

Wow...I've avoided this whole line due to customer reviews on Famous' website. Guess I will snag a 5 pack and form my own opinion.

Montano · 09-14-2010, 05:49 PM

Nice
