Arganese Habano Toro Pack of 5 Cigars

Arganese Habano Toro was once an ultra-premium cigar that sold for an ultra-premium price. Originally made as a private blend made by Gene Arganese for his family and friends, Arganese Habano was so impressive that he decided to take a shot at the big times. That he did, and for the first few years, it was quite a success. However, the brand would show its age as it slowly drowned in the endless sea of boutique cigars flooding the market throughout the early 21^st century. Fortunately, however, Arganese cigars stuck around, and the good news to us as cigar fanatics is that they are now more affordable than ever, currently offered as bundled cigars at a phenomenal price point. The same blend was kept, along with the premium level construction, so the entire situation was win-win for both Gene Arganese and the cigar smoking public alike! Arganese Habano is made in Nicaragua using Cuban-seed tobacco from Nicaragua—filler, binder, and wrapper. The wrapper is a red-hued Habano grown especially for this cigar. The bands have been spruced up a bit as well to take on a more modern appearance.

Beautifully crafted, Arganese Habano is toothy and a bit on the rugged side, similar in appearance to many Cuban cigars. An easy draw offers plenty of smoke, leading to a delightful array of flavor on each puff. This flavor profile starts out spicy and woody, with a solid backbone of raw tobacco flavor. Notes of coffee and white pepper are present, and the finish is short and spicy. The smoke has a rich, creamy feel, and overall Arganese Habano is on the heavy side of medium-full. The 6” x 50 Toro is just the right size with which to sit back and relax.

15 years ago, we would have told you Arganese Habano was only for serious connoisseurs. In today’s world, however, we can honestly encourage smokers of all experience levels to dive in and take as many as they can. At prices like this, why not? Medium-full-bodied and wonderfully balanced, Arganese Habano makes a great cigar to enjoy alongside a glass of bourbon or red wine. If you are a fan of sticks such as Rocky Patel Edge Habano or Flor De Oliva, we challenge you to try Arganese if you haven’t already, as it makes an awesome choice for a bargain stick to keep on hand at all times. Ultra Premium smokes for under a couple bucks a stick? It is definitely possible, especially in the case of Arganese Habano Toro.
