Ashton ESG #20

[CWS]

I have had a few of these and enjoyed them. This cigar has been resting for about six months. Beautiful band. Oily milk chocolate color with a unlit taste of spice. I toasted the foot and the smell was wonderful. First few draws and I thought, hmmmm Opus lite. Lots of smoke, easy draw. Hints of cocoa and vanilla. Rich and creamy it really reminded me of an Opus but without the kickass punch. I nubbed it. A thoroughly enjoyable cigar. Too bad they cost so much as I could see this as a regular in my rotation.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice. I want to try one of these one day. It is in line behind the Padron 80th. In that I love a VSG I figure I cannot go wrong with an ESG.

I've got one I've been sitting on for over a year now. I enjoyed the first few I smoked, but it's been a really long time since I've had one, so who knows where my pallet's at nowadays <shrug>

I really like these cigars (at least I have, I haven't smoked one in over a year).

I smoked one of these when they first hit the shelves. Truly spiritual. IMO the best cigar I've smoked to date.

I will have to get one and try it. Thanks Chuck!
