Review Notes: This small cigar is smooth and shiny with a nicely done cap. The construction is typically Ashton-solid: draw, burn, and ash are all very good. It starts off tasty and savory with woody, peppery, and meaty flavors; unfortunately, some harshness and nicotine also appears sooner rather than later. Not a bad smoke, but it also isn't good enough to warrant the typical Ashton high price tag.
