Arganese ML3

This cigar came in a short time ago. At Little Havana Tobacco we had Arganese reps there, so I was given some free ones. I got an ML3 as one of them (also a CL3, which is the next post).

This cigar has a Brazilian Maduro wrapper with a Corojo filler and binder. The feel of this cigar was very even.

Before lighting this, the tobacco tasted like strong coffee. The smoke tasted similar with a nice earthy flavor. Very forward flavor. With water, this cigar breaks up nicely. You get a nutty flavor and a small hint of chocolate. That chocolate flavor came and went though. This cigar was very robust in its flavors. Nothing too subtle here other than the chocolate.

The burn and draw were good. I could not argue with that. I had to light it several times though. Even after it sat in the humidor for awhile, so I know it was not dry. That will bring it down in grading a little bit.

The price on this stick (torpedo size) was $10.00, which is not bad. This is a heavy smoke though. Nothing wrong with that. Have it with a water or Dr. Pepper.

Final Grade: A-
