Quick Smoke: Ashton Classic Magnum

Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief take on a single cigar.

This five inch by 50 ring gauge beauty is tightly packed with smooth, creamy notes of butter and hay. It’s not all mild, though, as spicy and nutty flavors add depth. With a Connecticut shade wrapper and aged Dominican tobaccos, the draw is firm, the ash is pretty stable, and the burn is spot-on. Expect to pay anywhere from $6 to $8, and expect to be impressed.

Verdict = Buy.
