Arganese CL3 robusto 13 of 20

Appearance - A dull smooth brown color, with a tiny tear in the wrapper in the middle of the cigar.  Uniform, with small veins and no discoloration.

Construction - the draw is once again good as well as it's elasticity.
Pre-light taste - spicy and earthy.

Initial lighting - a tingle of spice and lots of tangy sweetness and earth.

Aromas - Yeah, sinuses aren't doing any better today, so can't smell anything out of the ambient air.

Flavours of the smoke - An interesting cigar where the complex flavours rotate themselves between being spicy and sweet, spicy and tangy, spicy and earthy, or earthy and tangy.  This is not the first time I've experienced this type of sensation in the CL3 marca, however it is the first time in the series of reviews to come across this fascinating phenomenon, as the numerous combinations of flavours fade in and out of themselves, and create an enjoyable experience. 

Summary - The complex flavours and their simplicity of it's parts ebbing to and fro provide such an intriguing 50 minutes of smoking.  I am always fascinated by cigars that are able to rotate it's flavours, and very seldom do they accomplish this.  Usually they are very linear, either becoming stronger towards the end, becoming weaker, or maintaining their flavour profile throughout evenly.  This cigar became stronger to the end, and it's spicy flavours become consistent with every puff as the other tangy and earthy flavours fall into their rotations, respectively both becoming just as dominant as the spiciness that is the backbone of the CL3.
