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.

Image

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.

Image

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.

Image

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

Image

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

Another fine review Ferdie. I enjoy these as well...thanks to Skywalker!! :-)

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!!!:-)

That's more for us Darrell!! :-)

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.

Nice :-)

Wish I would have seen this review earlier... they were selling boxes on CI during the last Jambalaya for like $40 a box.
