Ashton ESG 21-Year Salute

Taste

Minimal veining adds texture to a flawless, chewy leaf that exudes scents of spice and peat. The first few puffs deliver wood and coffee notes in a balanced and smooth manner, with a sweet caramel added into the first third. The taste shifts to spice and almond as the smoke progresses, the salt and pepper ash is somewhat flaky but strong. The final third of the cigar is a crescendo of flavors, heavily influenced by the return of the caramel now toasted to a crisp toffee.
