Product: Ashton Gold Rush 50g
I bought this at the beginning of my " try every pipe tobacco on the planet " phase, which I am still in if I'm being honest with myself. It's a nice smooth meduim body Virginia, that leaves just a tiny hint of of something sweet on my pal... Read More
ate. I can't taste any lemon or citrus which makes me happy. I suppose I thought this blend would be boring, but it has a nice flavor. Read Less
Product: Ashton Gold Rush 50g
Not bad but not great either. Packs easily and burns to a fine grey ash leaving no moisture behind. The taste is kind a cigarette like with some lemon present from time to time. There are much better tobaccos out there to be enjoyed.

This is fabulous Virginia, lot’s of natural sweetness and spice you get from quality, Surprisingly it doesn’t get hot but does burn fast, which is fine for those quick smoke breaks. I’ll be buying more
The easy one

Product: Ashton Gold Rush 50g
This one belongs to the easy smokes - fresh, honey and citrus. It looks nearly like a broken flake because it is much coarser then ribbon usually should be but there is no need of further rubbing. It will burn cool and slow but it will bite you if yo... Read More
u push really hard. As longer it burns it becomes more tangy and more satisfying. No drying needed. The nic and taste level is laying in the mid. An all all day smoke and perfect with a lemonade or a nice, fresh cocktail. Five stars because it is a really easy, not complex and enjoyable tobacco. Read Less

Product: Ashton Gold Rush 50g
Tin note of sugar, spices and mild citrus. Tobacco is a ribbon/broken flake of yellowish tan, brown and a tiny bit of dark brown. Moisture content is ok, some may prefer to dry it a bit. Larger flakes may need to be rubbed out. Burns moderate with fe... Read More
w relights. The strength is mild to medium and nic is mild. Flavoring is mild to medium, with notes of honey and lemon. Both are up front in the beginning. Honey dissipates to nothing as the lemon fades to the background fairly quickly where it remains. Taste is mild to medium and mostly consistent, with notes of citrus, lemon grass, sugar sweet, bread, wood, spices, spicy/acidic, earth, floral, dry hay, orange peel/zest, mildly bitter, mildly savory, a vinegary sour fermented fruit background note, and a peppery retro. Virginias are leading with Flavoring supporting. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is good. Read Less

Really Good

Product: Ashton Gold Rush 50g
There are bad Virginias and great Virginias, this is a really good Virginia. It smokes easily and will surprise you with a rich fruit flavor in the second half of the bowl. I reach for this when I want any easy smoking Virginia that I don't need to... Read More

个人感觉一般

这款草个人感觉既没有拉森和cult家那种纯粹的调味体验,也没有fvf那种纯粹的v草果脯香甜。可惜的是在两方面都没有给我好的体验,没有体会到这款草的精髓在哪、

Product: Ashton Gold Rush 50g
I bought this just to see what it was like, and I am in love with it. Its a light, refreshing smoke that has that viginia-ey sweetness mixed with a touch of honey and lemon. Its a must try for anyone looking for something to smoke on a lazy spring/su... Read More

Gold Rush, Orlik, and Reiner - The Trifecta
December 29, 2020
Product: Ashton Gold Rush 50g
I took a gamble on Ashton's Gold Rush. I have to say, what a lovely tobacco! An honest new favourite. I smoke little rollies instead of out of a pipe, and I found this tobacco absolutely PERFECT. It's light but flavourful. The citrusy lemon is defini... Read More
tely there. Sweet, but not "hay" sweet. Sometimes even comes off as literally having the "essence of a lemon drop" in your mouth. Orlik and Reiner's golden sliced tobaccos are the only comparable products that come close to the Gold Rush. But, Orlik has the perique bite, and really just isn't as pleasant. And I'd say the Reiner is as nice, more full-bodied, and has more of an orange thing going on. Pro-Tip: mix the Gold Rush and Reiner together for something of a Five-Alive effect. It's REALLY nice.
Update: I found my tastebuds evolved a bit in the last months. It has a cigary taste that I'm not sure I like any longer. Still a great smoke, though. Don't overlook it. Read Less
Quality Virginia

Product: Ashton Gold Rush 50g
Lights and burns easy to a fine white ash. I think it pairs great with a can of Coca Cola, it literally complements it as if you are tasting the lemon with your drink. Can't say I can pick out the honey but its likely there to make give it that sligh... Read More

I usually smoke flake when I smoke Virginia. This is really good! A nice citrus note and good natural sweetness. I'm going to buy some more!
Product: Ashton Gold Rush 50g
I've been smoking this for a few days to see what I thought of it. It has a nice medium flavor, but no hay/grass of light Virginias. It is more like bread, like some red Virginia but it is mild and withoit Perique it lacks the pepper found in most re... Read More
d VaPer blends. I am a big Orlik fan, but I think I'm going to keep some of this around for a change of pace. It's in the middle as far as Virginias go.
It does burn hot, but doesn't burn your tongue. The aroma is just pleasant pipe smoke while you are smoking it, but it hangs in the room and smells like cigarettes for a long time after you finish it.
Overall worth a try, even if they were out of lemons the day they tinned the one I got. Read Less
