Arganese Connecticut Torpedo

[Matt-N-Ga.]

I recently had a chance to sit down with my father and have a nice evening of Blantons and cigars.  He had received with his latest shipment two Arganese Connecticut Torpedos.  First, I need to say that I've heard about Arganese, and have heard they are decent smokes.  This thing though was beautifull.  A silky smooth wrapper with just one small vein visible.  Through the first third, it smoked very smooth, and very even.  I wouldn't say it develops a ton of smoke, but just enough to give you a very good taste.  The second third started to develop a bit of spice and stayed perfectly even.  The final third was by far the spiciest, but far from unpleasant, and again, perfectly even burn line. 

I would definatly recommend this smoke.  Very tasty, smooth, and hassle free.  I'm going to definatly put this on my list of smokes to purchase and see how they do with age.

Anyone else tried these, would love to hear your opinions.

Yep, this would be my fav wrapper of the Arganese line..

Hey aracos, how much are they going for at Stogie and sons, out by your place ?  If I buy locally, I either go to Smoking Joes on the East-West Connector, or I go to Tobacco World off of Sandy Plains.  Neither one has these, I stopped by today.

Ed (Ole Stogie) doesn't carry them yet...
Your best bet is Jim out at Blue Havana II, thats where I usually get them.
I think Selective on P'Tree Ind. in Duluth also has them...

I'll probably just order them from famous-smoke.com or one of the others.  Have you had a good experience with the online vendors ?  I've used Cigar.com and Cigarsinternational.com for anything I can't find local, and so far, their prices beat any vendor I've been too locally, and their service has been great.

Thats how you do it...
