Being the No. 10 Cigar of the year isn't something to take lightly. These cigars are fantastic and their rating of a 92 isn't achieved by many blends. Because Ashton has been in the business for so long, it's not surprising a cigar like this would get such a high rating. In fact, Ashton has had many cigars with ratings over 90. Ashton has at least 5 major blends in their line and their flavor profiles range from mild to bold! Cigar Aficionado claims this cigar to be a "sleeper" in the Heritage line of Ashton Cigars.
Because the cigars come in six different sizes, these cigars were chosen because of its nice robusto size. This is said to be the best blend in the line. The reviewers of the cigar from Cigar Aficionado claim that this cigar has flavors of spice, chocolate, and black cherry. What a winning combination! It makes my mouth water just thinking about those flavors in a cigar.
It's likely that if you're interested in this cigar you might also be interested in some other from the Ashton line. We'd recommend a cigar with a Cameroon wrapper, Robusto sized, made in the Dominican Republic. This will likely be a great fit for a similar cigar. One of the major brands that produces a cigar close to this is the Arturo Fuente Hemingway line.
