Aarrgghh!!

Ashton Corona

This is one of my favorite cigars of all time. I had my first when I was 17, after sneaking across the Delaware on PATCO to Holt's. It's not an overpowering taste, but there's a lot of flavor in it. I don't know all the right cigar terms like "hints of cocca, or slight chickory taste," but there's a sweetness to it, and there might be some chocolate in there.

If you're going away on a vacation, or celebrating something minor, these are a good way to go. These would also be a good gift for a father or boss who smokes cigars.

Stats: It's a Domincan cigar with Dominican binder and filler, with a Connecticut wrapper. (For those that don't know, yes really good cigar wrappers can be found in the left testicle of Massachusetts.) It's 5.5 inches by 44 rg (ring gauge) This is a fancy way of telling you that it will take about 45 minutes to an hour to smoke it. It's not cheap, $6.25 per single at Holt's (which since they own the label, should be the cheapest place to buy it) but it's worth it.
