Default Ashton VSG

Hey Inmates!!! I was gifted an Ashton VSG by a coworker. I have never smoked one before. What does everyone think about these? I am planning on smoking it this Saturday.

Could be the best cigar that Fuente makes (IMHO). Always consistant. Tres Mistique, Sorcerer, and Wizard are my favorites.

Definitely one of the best cigars Fuente makes. It's right up there with O-X, Anejo, etc. in my opinion. I really enjoy the Corona Gorda and Illusion vitolas. It's a very enjoyable smoke with a nice complex flavor.

Great stick bro. Nice gift.

Quit teasing me with these questions, encouraging me to smoke one while I'm sitting on the beach ................smoke the son of a gun and give us a report.

Honestly, IMHO this could be the best non Cuban out there. There are those that will laugh at that, but these are what cigars are supposed to be. Enjoy!

Suhweeet ! These are very good cigars . As for flavors , I get nice straight forward tobacco flavor with some spice from the SG wrapper . Enjoy them .

These are a good cigar as I have had my share. Are they as good as the best Fuente has? I can't say that they are but I would surely give them an 89 score. They are a treat when you can get them at below sticker price or for free.
