decided many years ago that I don't smoke enough cigars to smoke cigars I don't enjoy. Ashton is a little pricey but well worth the cost. They smoke well and have a consistent mildness and flavor. I have been smoking Ashton's for about five years.

I wasn't blown away but I did enjoy it. Great draw and pretty good flavors. Hay and earth are what I got throughout most of the stick which aren't my kind of thing usually. I paired it with a great book so that helped. Nothing I'd buy a 5-pack of but I'll probably buy another and give it another shot some day.

This has been my favorite for years, but recently each box has has a few that had to be thrown into the fire. They were impossible to draw. When you have to throw a few away, it increases the price of the ones you get to smoke. I just ordered another box. If there are duds, I'll switch to something else or try buying somewhere else.
