Ashton Cabinet Cigar Review

Ashton Cabinet Cigars
This cigar was a 50 ring guage, and 6 inches long. The retail price at Top Hat Tobacco was $10.60. The first thing I noticed when I took the cigar out of the cellophane was the gorgeous wrapper. It’s a Connecticut shade, and perfect. The construction of the stick is superb all the way around. I used a punch cutter which made a clean hole. The taste started and stayed very mild, with the classic taste of all Ashton cigars. It made a good volume of nice white smoke, not yellowed or blued. The burn was pretty smooth, if not quite perfectly even. It made a nice white ash, which fell off when it was around 2 inches long.

I smoked the Ashton Cabinet cigar in the cigar lounge at Top Hat Tobacco in St. Louis, Missouri. We had just had a large thunderstorm so it smelled like rain, which is a good thing since it has been so dry lately. Unfortunately this storm also knocked out my power at home, and it ended up being off for about a day. Maybe next time I get to sit down and enjoy one of these beauties the circumstances will be a little better!
