Arganese CL3 robusto 15 of 20

Appearance - A reddish brown hue with a sheen, uniform in color and no blemishes

Construction - the draw is a bit tight, but still serviceable and the elasticity is in good condition.

Pre-light taste - a dull tobacco taste.  Surprisingly uncharacteristic as it lacks any of the usual spicy cinnamon or licorice.

Initial lighting - spicy and sweet.

Aromas - My sinuses are coming around, and I can smell the cigar now.  Like fresh baked bread, or walking into an Entenmann's factory.

Flavours of the smoke - This cigar was not well balanced, and more spicy than anything else along with sweet.  There were some earthy notes, however still not as consistent throughout the cigar as the other flavours.  Towards the end, the elements eventually came together in a balanced finish.

Summary - Yeah, these reviews are getting shorter and shorter.  I still do enjoy the cigar while I am smoking it, and I do like review cigar flavours, however this is seriously becoming a burden.  The CL3s are still good, and I would like to just sit down after this series to actually smoke it without having to contemplate the nuances of flavours for a straight 50 minutes.
