Ashton Classic Cigar Review
Written by Bobby Rica, Sunday, 07, June 2009
Review
Everybody’s all-time favorite, the Ashton Classic, has won major points for consistent pleasure and overall commendable cigar experience from cigar aficionados worldwide. Its medium-bodied flavor carries staunch notes of pepper and spice, meant to satisfy the most discerning of smokers. The combination of rich Connecticut Shade and 4-year-old tobacco creates taste so solid and real, you’ll definitely keep coming back for more.
Take a page from woody, citrus, and spicy flavor worlds. The Ashton Churchill, mild as you want it, is packed full with lemon and spice and everything nice. If you want things on a tropical note, light up an Ashton Monarch, tanned and well-constructed, evoking the hula with wood, pepper, almond and coconut tones. For the more structured and less spontaneous, grab an opportunity with the Ashton Panetela, the solid Ashton Classic of well-made proportions and balanced peppery taste. And true to its name, the Ashton Prime Minister commands a strong presence with its deep brown wrapper, great draw, and flavors that run the gamut from wood to coffee.
Next time you’re in the mood for an enjoyable, straightforward smoke, choose an Ashton Classic. Maybe you won’t be in for any surprises, but the sheer dependability of each line will make you decide that the uncertain and unexpected are all plain juvenile.

09:33 (EST)Wow! The Ashton blew my mind away. The best cigar I have smoked in a long time. The sweet aroma and the easy draw made for a wonderful afternoon smoke. Dont be afraid to spend some cash to enjoy the finer things in life.

10:19 (EST)The Ashton is a good cigar. Easy to smoke and enjoy. A little bit more expensive but worth the price.

11:42 (EST)The flavor of the Ashton was mild and creamy but that was perfect for me on this hot and humid day. After a long day of work in the yard, I needed something mellow to help me relax. The only downfall of the cigar was the price so I keep a few in my humidor for special occasions.

10:56 (EST)The Ashton was silky smooth but lacked the flavor to make it a great cigar. The burn was slow and even with a good draw. An excellent gift for the novice cigar smoker. The Ashton has a well respected brand image and introduces the more expensive cigars
