Ashton Aged Maduro is rare because of its selected and extremely limited Connecticut broad leaf wrapper. Many a wrapper leaf is picked, but few are chosen for our Ashton Aged Maduro. The initial sweet taste comes from the wrapper, but once lit, the cigar becomes rich and nutty much like a great Madeira or Tawny Port, whose distinct flavor comes from aging in Sherry finished French oak barrels. Our Ashton Aged Maduro's rich distinct flavor comes from the never hurried natural fermentation of the wrapper, which encourages its natural sweetness. The wrapper and aged filler creates a rich and complex flavor elevating the Ashton Aged Maduro to a class all its own.
Ashton Maduro is a marvelous smoking experience. A flawless draw, nice even burning construction. The wrapper is initially fairly sweet, and remains that way, but the sweetness soon yields to a very complexity of Cedar/Oak, Earth, pepper, mild leath... Read Moreer and a silky cocoa creamy pleasure. The first half is medium bodied, slowly building to a medium full flavored stick, without a HINT of harshness. Laying some of these aside for a few years aging in a humidor would be a prudent move, as they only improve with age. A truly masterful cigar while also a great value which won't break the bank.
