This Geek Critique has been generously sponsored by nirab (Brian).

The Cigar:  Stolen Throne Argos Toro

The Specs: 
Wrapper: Nicaraguan Habano Maduro
Binder:  Nicaragua
Filler:  Nicaragua
Country of Origin:  Nicaragua
Strength: Medium-Full
Size:    6" x 50 (Toro)

Shipping: Lower 48 US addresses only

Due Date: March 25, 2024

The Hype: 
Not much info on this cigar.  From their website: The Argos came about in a different manner than the rest of the Stolen Throne lines. It was born as a Winston's Humidor exclusive with its proceeds going toward animal rescue organizations. If you like it extra spicy, you'll love this cigar! This cigar is only available in 11 shops across the country, and nirab's shop The Cigar Vault is blessed to be one of them.

The Reviewers:
Initially, volunteers should be Veteran status or higher and not doing the March critique, but all will be considered. If you are interested, please indicate so in the forum below and nirab will make the final selection:
1.  Burn Ward
2.  Brlesq
3.  Murphy223
4.  bstessl
5.  Deener27

Note: A reviewer who posts their review late will receive neutral feedback. A reviewer who does not post at all will receive negative feedback. There are always exceptions to the rule and a reasonable excuse for tardiness or a no show will be respected and thus not counted against the reviewer. Our sponsoring members and our administrators make the choice of who is to participate in any particular Geek Critique and can be better informed of their choices with this initiative in place.

Thanks again to nirab for providing the cigar. And thank you to the reviewers.

I'm not eligible or I'd jump on this.  I've enjoyed every Stolen Throne blend I've tried.  This should fill up fast.

 Doing the April industry critique or I would volunteer. Imagine this will be a really good one.
I am not concerned about what you think as I can tell you don't do it often.

I used to be a people person, but then people ruined that for me.
