| Notes: | I was given one of these as a gift for my bachelor party. So my value rating might be a bit skewed. That being said, I definately enjoyed this cigar. Construction wise, it held up very well, considering that it wasn't humidified at all, just stored in cellophane in a small cigar box. It burned very even, despite some cracking. It's very light and very mild. Compared to other Ashton subbrands it's a bit under powered. (I think it is possible that it is being overwhelmed by the sherry I am drinking.) However the taste that is getting through is very good. For a free cigar the value was amazing. At the $9 I would have paid in the store for it, it might be pushing it. Definitely a good alternative to mild cigars for for a light smoke, or for novices looking for a mild smoke without the lack of taste. |
