Ashton VSG Robusto

This is my second review of a VSG, you can read the first here

Size: 5 1/2 x 50 Robusto

Appearance: As usual this cigar is pretty damn good looking. The wrapper had no damages and no blemishes. It had a nice dark brown look to it....very nice.

Pre-light: Cutting this cigar was easy and the pre-light draw revealed a nice spicy tang that I simply love. I ran my nose along side of this cigar and it was more of the same, spicy goodness with a hint of leather.

Burn/Draw: The burn was never really in question aside from some rough patches in the beginning but like I said, not too serious. The draw was absolutely fabulous from start to finish, no drag and not too loose, PERFECT.

Flavors: At the start the cigar had a nice little spice with some leather hints to go along with it. But as the cigar got i little farther along (an inch in), the flavors got a hell of alot more abundant. The spiciness got more apparent and the leather hints combined with the spice, with some hints of wood. It also became the full bodied stogie that it is and it remained the full flavored VSG that has become a favorite among many many cigar smokers. I would love to smoke one of these again, absolutely great.
