Berger and Argenti Clasico

For those of you that frequent the world of Social networking sites, such as Facebook, Twitter, and the like, you no doubt have other “cigar” friends that you know, and talk to regularly.  Albert of Berger and Argenti Cigars was sending out reviews and press releases about the newest cigar in their lineup, the “Clasico”.  This, naturally had me curious.  With the amount of press I’d seen on this cigar, along with some other reviews I had read on fellow cigar bloggers sites, I knew I had to try them.  I sent Albert a message, asking what I could do to aquire a few of these for a review, and who I had to pay to get some.  He graciously sent me a 3 pack of the cigars, and told me to enjoy, at no cost.  Thank you very much Albert for the cigars, and giving me the chance to review them.  So…. Here we go!

Pre- Light:  As I pulled this cigar from it’s packaging, the first thing I noticed was how silky smooth the wrapper on the cigars felt, and how nicely they were rolled.  The size I was trying was a corona size, fairly small, I am guessing a 4.5×46 or so.  I was very anxious to try this cigar!  I clipped it with my ever trusty Palio and lit it up with my Ronson Jetlite.

Flavor/Aroma:  As I lit up, the first thing I noticed was that there was a nice sweetness, similar to some sorts of Nicaraguan tobacco that I’ve experienced before.  Along with that sweetness, I got a lot of nice cedar flavors, and a great smell to it.  This cigar tastes AWESOME.  I am really enjoying it, and am bummed that it’s going to be a fairly short smoke, but I am happy to have found such a nice cigar!

Construction/Smoking Characteristics:  The construction on this cigar was flawless.  No major veins, and nicely wrapped.  As I smoked the cigar, I did notice that the draw was a little loose, but the smoke was billowing, and the ash held strong for about 1/2 an inch before falling off.

Overall Impression:  Overall, I REALLY liked this smoke.  I am now on the hunt for a box  of these, and can’t wait to get these added to my humidor.  As the first in the Berger and  Argenti line of cigars that I have tried, I LOVED this cigar.  It WILL be a staple in my humidor.  I want to thank Berger and Argenti cigars for the chance to review this smoke.  If you are looking for a great smoke, that is reasonably priced, look no further than the Berger and Argenti Clasico!
