Review Notes: First off, yes it is expensive, but you are paying for the Ashton name, it should be obvious why it costs so much. It is a very well made cigar. It has a pleasant pre-light aroma. Taste is a bit lacking, but it is definitely not BAD. Creamy, nutty, cedary, with some vegetal notes. Towards the last 3rd it was not as good, but not bad at all. Though it did not blow me away, it was pleasantly mild and not at all repulsive. I got mine at auction in a sampler, only paid 7 bucks for it. I probably wouldn't buy one again, leave these for people with money to burn.
