Arganese

[bwhyte]

My local B & M has Arganese for $2.95 a stick. I don't remember the exact name but he said they were a 7 dollar cigar. He got them on a blowout so that's why the are so cheap. Has any one heard of this? I picked up a couple and will let everyone know what I think.

I don't care for them at all, but at $3 a stick, I'm not sure it matters what I think! :grin:

 

[jwintosh]

not too bad at all.... i've been to a few of their events. a little one dimensional, but all premium leaves....

I was gifted one (read: bombed) by Shuckins. I've been curious to try these things, so I'm looking forward to it.

The Silver label Arganese is a good cigar. It is a Nicaraguan blend.

Well I must say for $2.95 it's not that bad. It was pretty decent. I had a lot of pepper flavor, but I have only had one. I kinda like to smoke 1 or 2 of the sticks before I form an opinion though. I have definitely had better and worse.

sound like a great price, even if it becomes a lawn raking or yard work cigar

It's a good line, pretty decent as has been said. Not sure about it being a $7 stick, though, depending on the size. The ones I have are small robusto's.

Buy one, fire it up, let us know what you think.

I believe they were in the $5-$7 range a couple of years ago. Now you can buy a box pretty regularly for $40 or under. I've smoked the several of the flavors, but the ML3 is probably the best of the bunch.

where did you find a box for $40 or under? I can't find that!!!

 

[terrantheman]

Thought the ones I tried from the big smoke years ago were awful

These pop up every day on Cigar Monster. You can probably get them even cheaper through the Famous Auction.

Thanks, I am going to have to look in to that.

Haven't tried them yet, but finally found a place that has them after recommendation from a (far away) friend. Over the weekend I was at a shop I hadn't been to before, and asked if they carried them. He said the rep had brought some by and the customer reaction was so negative he couldn't even give them away and had to throw them out.

Ouch!

Got a box of Arganese Maduro Figurados (perfectos) from Famous on the monster. Paid 35, threw in a sampler, made it 51 dollars... best thing was, I signed up for the Famous Revolution card, and first two purchases of 50 bucks or more get a 25 dollar credit. Presto, a box of 25 maduro perfectos and 5 aurora sticks for 26 dollars. You can't beat that!

And the Argansese Maduro is a wondeful cigar. The perfecto is a very handsome cigar, and it tastes as good as it looks. Lots of smoke, very earthy and chocolaty, slightly sweet, and smooth to the nub. I stashed some away for aging, and I bet it will be even better (especially for about a buck a stick!!!!!)

The ML3, the Nicaraguan, and the Maduros are pretty good smokes IMHO.

I would get a single before I get more. I personally was not impressed with them.
