Review Notes:I have tried a lot of cogars over the years and just had my first Ashton Cabinet Belicoso - the word is great. I just got some for $6.00 + ea. Even though it was great, I would not spend more than $6.00 to watch it go up in smoke.

Review Notes:I must admit to reading a few reviews of this cigar before writing. I enjoy cigars, but I haven't gotten to the point of wine god yet and I'm not close to cigar god to point out "hints of cedar."
This was a mild smoke. I'm a fan of maduros, a bigger cigar, but this came with a group I bought a while back. It's at least a year old, but has been kept in a humidor. The wrapper was still oily so I think it was fine. Cigar cut cleanly, and felt and looked well rolled. The burn wasn't completely even, and did burn out twice, but that could have been my inability to correctly light a cigar, and because I was talking too much and not smoking enough a few times. Or it could have been all Ashton's fault. :-)
The first 1/3rd, it was fine, an average smoke. Not great, nothing exciting. The second 1/3rd had a bit more body, some flavors and notes I can't discern (for this or any other cigar), but was better than the first 1/3rd. The last 1/3rd, which some say 'tis better to throw away, was a bit hotter. I've been doing short puffs in succession rather than long draws, and that's helped with the smoke becoming too hot. The first 10% of the last 1/3rd was again unremarkable, and getting too hot, and the other 90% is sitting in my neighbors trash can.
Overall? A good mild smoke. I like sticks with more flavor, so my review is biased I suppose, but even if I try to be fair, this was average, maybe a hint above average.
I don't remember what I paid, so my price is a guess.

Review Notes:This was my second time smoking this cigar. The first was in Austin and I remembered it being very good. Which I thought was odd since I usually don't care for mild smokes. However I had also enjoyed a few, uhhhhhhh, "adult beverages" before hand so I wasn't sure if that had clouded my judgment or not. This is a nice looking cigar with a light brown wrapper, pointed cap and hard as a rock feel to it. Opened up with some bitterness that stayed for the first 1/2 inch. After that the real flavors began to settle in. First third was nutty with light touches of leather and cedar. Spiciness began to come in on the second third. Unfortunately, the last third began to get harsh and tarry. Mild-light medium in body. The cigar began to smoke very hot in the last couple of inches which is surprising considering the tight roll. Burn was perfect and needed no corrections. This thing made an impressive ash as well. I got about two inches before I felt it needed to be ashed and even then it took a couple of solid taps to make it drop. Draw was just fine as well. Overall, this smoke wasn't as good as I had remembered it being. It's by no means a bad cigar just not a $9 one. If you're a mild fan though don't take my word and try one for yourself.

Review Notes:A mild,smooth very well constructed cigar to enjoy in the morning or afternoon. I smoked quite a few of these nice elegant cigars when i did not wanted a strong smoke but something milder yet flavourful and they were all flawless,smooth from start to end,only drawback the price.

Review Notes:I normally enjoy full bodied cigars. On the occasion that I feel like something more mild this is my favorite. Mild yet flavorful and rich.
