Ashton Cabinet No. 6
Three words: Alternative Happy Hour. We started this tradition back up, and I can't believe I did without for so long. Dan, Joe, Andrew and I spotted Scott on our way down and we dragged him out too. It was the longest we ever had.
I wanted to go with an old standby, one that I knew I would like. So, I figured I would give an Ashton Cabinet a try. Can't go wrong there, right? Well maybe not quite.
Construction: No complaints here. As always, it burned perfectly. The draw was a little rough, but no huge deal.
Taste: Here's where I was a little disappointed. It was good, but a little milder than I expected. I expected rich and creamy, but I got a weak and inoffensive.
Stats: Like most of your Ashton's its mostly Dominican, with a Connecticut wrapper. It was 5 1/2 inches by a 50 ring gauge. It costs $9 at Holt's.
Overall: It was good, but not great. It certainly didn't warrant $9. Who knows, I may have to remove Ashtons from my pedestal.
