| OCCASION: Weekend morning with coffee | PRICE: $3.50 |
| BRAND: Arganese - CL3 | |
| GAUGE: 52 | LENGTH: 6 - 7/8" |
| SHAPE NAME: Torpedo | |
| FILLER: Corojo ligero | |
| BINDER: Corojo ligero | WRAPPER: Corojo ligero |
| APPEARANCE: A nice oily sheen with a consistent medium brown wrapper. Minor veins for the most part. A few ripply veins similar to an old person's ankles...gross, I know. I could see two longitudinal lines or creases in the cigar body from the cigar mold. Wrapper torn under band due to the glue. I've seen this on a few other Arganese cigars so it must be a manufacturing issue. |
| CONSTRUCTION: Loose at the foot and firm at the head. Noticable spongy spots along body. Cap wrapping well constructed on this torpedo. |
| DRAW: | ||
| START: Average | 1/2: Average | 3/4: Average |
| BURN: | ||
| START: Even | 1/2: Uneven | 3/4: Uneven |
| TASTING NOTES: Initial light spicy flavor with some leathery notes. Very earthy and woody, almost oaky. Picked up on some straw hints as well. |
| OTHER NOTES: The burn was uneven for most of the cigar and this really drove me crazy as I tried to right the wrong. The ash was loose and didn't hold very long. |
| EVALUATION: Inexpensive cigar but not a real taste pleaser. The cigar is average at best but for an everyday budget cigar I suppose it would fit the bill. I personally wouldn't smoke it again. StogieGuys.com have a pretty good review giving the cigar average and good ratings. |
