The glistening silky US Connecticut Shade wrapper shines gracefully. The body was smooth, free of blemishes or soft spots, and lightly thin-veined. The regal black and white Ashton band was simple, with Ashton beautifully written in gold, complementing the hue.
For the cold draw, I got an extremely creamy and nutty taste that is common to all Ashton Classics. Upon lighting up, the first few puffs were dense with toasted nuts, cashew, and sweet cedar. Hints of black pepper showed up afterward. Deepening into the first third, notes of honey, hay, and cappuccino are featured. A firm razor-sharp whitish and grayish ash built up, which held until I ashed it.
The luscious taste of balsamic, hazelnuts, and brioche balances up as I reach the halfway point. Cream and toasted nuts wired the taste together. I ended my 1hr+ of smoking with a scented aroma of cookies, malt, and of course, some creaminess and nuttiness.
Ashton Classic Churchill feels almost the same way except for the longer burn time and its woody and herbal characters with hints of pepper on the finish.
These mellow cigars are perfect for golfing because they burn slowly for a long time, and their smoke has a mellowness that doesn’t overpower. Also, you do not get a blast of nicotine as the sun comes crashing on your face. You can also enjoy them on a lazy Saturday morning as you enjoy a good book.
