Like the burn, the flavors experienced within the Esquire Maduro fail to disappoint. The cigar begins with a pleasant tobacco flavor, and then moves on to some notes of pepper. Wood is another noticeable flavor, as well as a sweet, almost syrupy note. As advertised, this is a medium-bodied stick that won't overpower you.

If you do not have a lot of time but want to enjoy a quality cigar, the Esquire Maduro is just the right blend of size, good construction, and quality tobacco. Flaws within the burn were non-existent, and the flavors seemed just right. I'd say that the Esquire Maduro is a solid pick for a quick smoke while in the car or on a short break. Price-wise, the cigar is also favorable, at around $2 each. It comes in tins of ten, or you can also find bricks of ten tins, equaling 100 cigars.

The Ashton Classic Esquire Maduro earns a rating of 3 out of 4 stars.
