Review Notes: This was and atypical cigar for me, I prefer the darker more robust cigars, but it was an anniversary gift from my wife. Excellent construction, excellent draw, perfect burn, everything you would expect from an Ashton. The only negative for me was the lack of punch in the flavor, the flavor was very “one dimensional” but this was okay as the cigar was designed to be this way it was not a half hearted effort that left inferior tobacco tasting bland. It was perfectly aged as the flavor was consistent throughout. This is the once per year smoke because of price and not conforming to my tastes for cigars, but an excellent smoke none-the-less.
