Ashton Aged Maduro

[Brickhouse]

Had myself an Ashton Aged Maduro #40 this evening and it was so good that I thought it deserved a thread of its own.

Wow, what a smoke this was! The appearance alone was captivating with the dark and veiny broadleaf that they wrap this bad boy up it, and I thought to myself....surely this won't taste as good as it looks.

But it surely did. This is what I call a good example of delivering strength with sophistication. It certainly wasn't a knee buckler or overpowering, but it certainly held it's own in that regards.

The taste was flat out captivating, starting with a nice sweetness that didn't take over the 'gar but encompassed it while producing a rich and nutty flavor that was just excellent.

I bought one of these just to try along with another 5'er I had grabbed, and boy am I glad I did.

Excellent cigar IMO and without a doubt one of the top 5 maduro's I've ever had.

I highly recommend this one if you haven't already tried it. If you have, you're probably saying "Brick, tell me something I don't know."

Not really a review thread, just a rave thread :laugh:

Nice review, Wyatt. But I gotta say, I'm not a fan of this cigar. I've only smoked two specimens but the taste jsut did not suit me. Glad to hear you enjoyed it though. :thumbs:

Hehe, naw, in a review I like to include a bit more detail about the burn/ash/construction etc. and a pic if possible.

This was just me getting on to rejoice, lol. Just hoping to get a few others to try it.

Yeah, I had researched one of your reviews on it Wilkey, saw that it didn't do much for ya. But it was right up my alley....different smokes for different folks
