Arganese CL3 robusto 16 of 20

Appearance - a dull peanut brown color with a few green imperfections from water marks. 

Construction - the draw is again a little tight, and the elasticity is decent.

Pre-light taste - a spicy taste with none of the nuances of tangy sweetness or earthy notes.

Initial lighting - surprisingly balanced with sweet, spicy, tangy, and earthy despite it's prelight taste.

Aromas - like the same as always, smells like a bakery.

Flavours of the smoke - this cigar was surprisingly well balanced and enjoyable.  All the flavours weren't dull, and combined impressively into a wonderful marriage of flavours of spicy, sweet, tangy, and earthy.  The coffee notes were actually noticeable throughout the cigar from start to finish. providing an impressive overall experience.

Summary - So the wrapper was ugly, the draw was a bit tight, but despite it's compromised construction issues, the cigar performed well.  This provides a little insight to how cigars are ultimately judged, appearances aside if this cigar was uglier than a turd, and had drawing problems, I would still probably enjoy it to some degree as long as it's flavours are still consistent with what I have been experiencing from the previous 15.
