Arganese Maduro Presidente Robusto
Arganese Cigars was originally created as the personal cigar for Gene Arganese.

He eventually settled his operations in La Palma Free Trade Zone of the Dominican Republic, where he now operates a 13, 500 square foot factory with 110 acres of tobacco fields. Today Arganese produces 9 lines of cigars, one of which being the Maduro line that I’ll be reviewing for this post.
