Ashton Heritage Puro Sol cigar review

For this review, I have decided to treat myself to the 7 inches by 52 Double Corona. The Puro Sol spots a clay-colored wrapper. The body had a firm consistency with no soft spot. Veins are few and, when present, have a refined feel. The distinctive white, red, and gold band adds to the allure of the stick. The foot had aromas of cinnamon and barnyard. 

After lightening up this stick, the notes of cinnamon and barnyard I picked up earlier became more pronounced. The draw was ideal with great airflow. The first few puffs revealed added notes of hickory, earth, and walnut. The retro-hale was smooth and slightly earthy.

The middle third was dominated by notes of walnut, leather, and barnyard. Around the middle, I picked up hints of bay leaf and molasses. The ash is grey-whitish, and it holds perfectly for about ¾ of an inch.

In the final third, the smoke got more intense. Although, it did not get bitter at any time. The home run presented a carnival of flavors to my palettes with notes of caramel, cacao, and rosewood. This smoking experience lasted about 1 hour and 50 minutes.

Puro Sol is a great medium cigar that beginners trying to step out of the mild cigars range could give a try. For the veterans, it’s perfect for relaxation after your lunch. You could also pair it with your favorite rum or scotch.
