Arganese CL3 robusto 18 of 20

Appearance - reddish brown with a nice sheen, uniform throughout except for one small light brown circle in the wrapper.

Construction - the draw is perfect as is the elasticity.

Pre-light taste - sweet spice with tangy and earth notes.

Initial lighting - well balance of spice and earth with sweet tangy licorice.

Aromas - the usual bakery smell emanating from the cigar.

Flavours of the smoke - the cigar starts off well balanced consisting of spice and sweetness.  As it progresses, the spice dissipates and the earth and sweetness become more dominant, especially towards the end of the cigar.  Eventually it finishes with a sweet cinnamon and vanilla.

Summary - I particularly enjoyed this cigar thanks to the draw and wonderful mix of flavours, so much that this robusto endured a whole one hour and ten minutes of smoking, much longer than the usual 50 minutes.  Well balanced until the end toting complex flavours keeping me interested.
