Ashton Classic 898 Cigar Review
Ashton Classic 898 Cigar Review
This 6.5×44 stick offers a light tan wrapper with small veins and a thin slightly soft wrapper. The flavor profile was very complex with changes happening every few minutes to the band point. Total burn time to the band was 1:15 where it got a little warm for my taste but still had a good inch left. Flavors included earth, leather, cinnamon, spice, pepper, cocoa, coffee, mocha and creme in various combinations as the stick burned down. Overall the body was medium, with touches on either side growing as it burned. Draw also changed significantly, from very firm to just on the loose side with the perfect resistance by the 1/2 way point. Thank you very much to Ashton Cigars for generously sending this sample for review! Photography by BG Pictures.

How do you taste cinnamon Bryan? I’ve tasted spice but have never tasted a cinnamon spice.
I stand on one leg, wave my left arm and spin anti-clockwise
Hi Bryan,
I check out your site so often that I figured I should register. I really enjoyed this review, as Ashton classics are amongst my favorites. Any plans to do a Robusto review? I love this line of cigars and would curious to get your take on another size. Keep up the good work!
