The Ashton VSG Belicoso #1 recently scored the highest in the
2005 Stogie Fresh Annual Cigar Ratings.
However, I did not have the honor of reviewing the cigar. One of my other Stogie Fresh raters did. So, I decided to give it a try, just to confirm the score don'tcha know.
All I can say is WOW! What a great smoke. This cigar definitely earned it's position at the top.
This cigar kicked my a$$, and I mean that literally. I had to go lay down for a couple hours after smoking it I was so looped. They should put a warning label on that thing that says, "Eat food before smoking, moron." Or something like that.
The wrapper was nice looking and aromatic, the construction and burn were magnificent (see photo). The flavor was woody, coffee and tobacco. If the magnetic strip on my credit card wasn't about to fall off from all my holiday purchases, I would go out and buy a box.
