DESCRIPTION: Today, I’m featuring the Nicaraguan Presidenté Torpedo,which is a 6 7/8 x 52 ring gauge figurado with a Dominican Binder and filler blend and a Nicaraguan Corojo wrapper. It sports a silver double band featuring the Arganese crest and is purported to be one of the more full-bodied in the Arganese lineup.

Arganese cigars are available in three superbly crafted blends ...

The Presidente ~ a rich, full-bodied smoke

The Chairman ~ a robust, medium-bodied blend

The Ambassador ~ a smooth, lighter smoke

The blends are rolled in an impressive array of wrappers, including a Connecticut Shade, grown in Ecuador, an African-grown Cameroon, a Brazilian-grown Maduro, and a Nicaraguan seed, grown in Nicaragua. These carefully selected wrappers are all aged from three to five years.

Each blend is a combination of Dominican tobacco and Cuban seed tobacco grown in Villa Gonzalez, a mountainous area in the Dominican Republic, known for its fertile soil.
