Review Notes: Could it really be true that I have broken my cigar rut and found a new favorite? The construction was just like I like, soft compliant cigar, effortless draw and dead even burn. Snow white ash that tennacaiously held on till the last. Like all cigars with Dominican tobacco the smoke very fragrant with hits of vanilla. Flavor was round and full bodied with good strong peppery bite and light aftertaste indicative of a perfectly aged and refined cigar. I will smoke another one to confirm my hopes that I have broken my cigar rut.

 Review Notes: This cigar has been in the humidor for a while, I was really eager to smoke it. At the end of the day, a pretty average experience. A very dull flavor, just of burned leafs (not very flattering, I believe), good combustion and that's it. Not to be totally dismissed, but there are dozen of other cigars (even dominican) which are far far better. The worst (to me ) Ashton yet, other were very good to excellent.

 Review Notes: Construction and appearence top shelf. Burn and draw excelent. Rich and complex smoke, consistant from start to finish.

 Review Notes: As with all other VSG's, this one was superb. Full bodied with intense, but pleasant kick to it. The burn, ash and draw were excellent. The overall experience made it worth the price.

 Review Notes: Must have had a bad one, although the burn and draw were fine. Had a large vein that kept jabbing my lip when I inhaled, very irritating. Taste was one dimensional, cigar got harsh at the halfway point. Don't know why people consider these strong, this one was just sort of bitter. Must be non-Cuban smokers!
