Had a chance to try this smoke today and it's quite outstanding. Had anyone else had a chance to try this smoke? Not bad for a morning smoke. Smooth and very sweet smoke.

The Aged Maduro is a cigar that I've been wondering about for some time. I love Ashton Cigars but for some reason I never really hear anything about the Aged Maddies around the Jungle. I've been trying to find some on CBid that aren't going for a ridicules price, but that hasn't happened yet. I'm glad you posted you thoughts about them.

An Ashton Aged Maduro was my first handmade cigar 18 years ago. They were great! At $5.00 each, I smoked one every month or so. I'd check the humidity every once in a while which is where my wife came up with the phrase, "checking on your loved ones, again, I see."

Imagine my surprise one day when I opened my humi and discovered I was about 8-10 cigars short! It seems there was some function at college and my oldest daughter grabbed a handful to pass out----which danged near caused me to pass out. My wife was on the phone with this daughter when I discovered the shortage. Daughter says, "what's dad so excited about?". Wife says, "he's mumbling something about his beloved Aged maduros". Daughter: "uh, oh." She sheepishly brought me back one and a half "pre-smoked" cigars.

The thought that some of the boys she gave them to took a few puffs and tossed them is a thought too much to bear, even today.

Ashton Maddies work for me!

I have smoked a few and they all agree with me!...
They are like "sleeper" smokes / under the radar and right on target

I've had a few and love them. Usually hover around the $200 per box range... so I've stayed away. If money were no object, I'd have a box or two laying around.

My condolences on the loss of your daughter. You did disown her. Right?

I think these are great smokes. The Aged Maduro #60 was the very first box purchase I ever made and I still have a few around. I think this is a cigar that will always have a place in my humi.
