Review Notes: This long and solid robusto has a lightly veiny wrapper but has good color and nice oils. Other than a slightly loose draw, it's an excellent performer with an even burn, ash that holds on forever, and lots of smoke; it also stays solid throughout, never getting spongy. It has sweet wood flavors and a spiciness consisting of pepper and ginger. It's smooth and not overpowering, with a pleasantly long finish. The flavors fade a bit at the end, however. Like all Ashtons it's expensive, but you never doubt that you're smoking a premium cigar.
