Berger & Argenti - Clasico

Berger & Argenti - Clasico - I stopped by my local B&M, Cross Street Tobacco, for an event with the Berger & Argenti cigar company.  I haven't heard much about the brand, so this is all new to me.  I only had a chance to smoke one, so I'll keep this review short and sweet.  The pricepoint on a Rothschild ran a little under $6.  A great value for a decent smoke.
The cigar is wrapped in a milk chocolate Ecuadorian Connecticut.  Although it is a Connecticut, it is darker than any Connecticut-wrapped cigar out there (broadleaves aside of course).  Bound by a Nicaraguan corojo and filled with Nicaraguan tobacco.  This line is one of 3 made by the brand, and is available in 4 sizes.
This cigar was chosen in The Robb Report as one of the best cigars of 2009.  Cross Street Tobacco's owner, Sheldon, spoke highly of the brand and the nice construction on the stick had me on the edge of my seat waiting to try one.
