Ashton VSG
 

I was in my B&M yesterday picking up a "starter" humidor as a gift for my stepfather. I always like to pick up two or three sticks while there just to support the local business. They had some VSGs for what seemed a decent price for a B&M. I've never had one, have heard good things, so splurged on one. Now it's sitting in my humidor...calling to me. I like to let my new purchases sit in the humi for a few weeks, but I can hear it..."smoke me. Smoke me now" it's saying.

Should have bought 2, one for today one for later. Go ahead and fire it up, if you like it get more. To me the VSG is one of those cigars that doesn't get better with age. YMMV

If it came from decent B&M, smoke it. No need for it to sit. Different story coming from a big-box internet retailer where the sticks are often shipped wet and then subjected to varying conditions in transit.

Coincidentally, I had a VSG last night. Not sure of size - RG between rob and corona - maybe 5 inches and change. Anyway, it was very good - perfect construction until last 2 inches where it got pretty wonky. Flavors good, but a little muted. I think all those I had in the past were smaller RG - I'll seek out others, but only in the PC, corona, lancero - type sizes.

Love the VSG's. IMO most B&M's keep their stuff more humid than I prefer. I agree with letting it sit for a week or 2.

Re: Ashton VSG
 

Yep, I am in with the crowd on this one. Smoke it.

Re: Ashton VSG
 

I have yet to try one. Sounds tasty.

one of the few non cuban cigars i have smoked...sorcerer i think...was 10 or so years ago and i remember it being a good cigar.

Re: Ashton VSG
 

Definitely a solid smoke. Personally, I wasn't blown off my feet considering all the hype, but it was an enjoyable cigar nonetheless. I'll have to try another at some point to be sure though!

Re: Ashton VSG
 

they are great cigars. Enjoy it

Re: Ashton VSG
 

yeah, really enjoy these and try to keep a few on hand. I actually enjoy the Estate Sun Grown as well. Something to try out.

Oh, the peer pressure!!! :-)

I decided to save it for the weekend. The VSG, some good whiskey, the patio and I have a date.

Like Frank's sig line says, "they aren't going to multiply, burn that b!tch!"

Re: Ashton VSG
 

I have skipped over these several times at the B&M only to wonder if I should have picked one up. Guess I should grab one when I go restock.
