Review:
I smoked this neat little robusto after work while floating around the pool.
Pre Light-My first taste of this was disappointing. A cold draw revealed nothing more than some light grassy flavors. I incorrectly assumed that this would just be another taste/review. Boy was I wrong!
Upon firing up the foot, I immediately got hit with strong tobacco, coffee and caramel flavors in a creamy smoke. I also noticed that this stick not only tastes wonderful, but the aroma coming off of it was nothing short of heaven. Best part about it-NO spice! (I don't like spicy sticks)
There has been some debate that this edition made by Don Pepin for Ashton was inconsistent and bland, however my experience was quite the opposite. It was extremely flavorful with no poor qualities other than the inconsistent burn. I had to touch up the burn a few times, however the classic taste was never affected.
Simply put, this stick started out tasting excellent and never quitting. i smoked it down to the point where I couldn't hold it anymore and the flavor stayed consistent. I would rate the strength medium bodied. I'm going to pick up a few more of these sticks just to check the consistency but if they all smoke this well, I would rate this a "box worthy" stick.
Price-$6.75
Burn-ok
Flavors-caramel, coffee, rich tobacco
Would buy again? Absolutely!
