Ashton cigars are a sign of prestige, whether you want to admit it or not. There is a bit of class associated with going to a cigar bar and smoking a VSG, ESG, Cabinet, but this is a cigar that is newer to the company. In this Ashton Symmetry Prism Review, keep your mind open. The history of the cigars held to a pretty traditional approach. This was a new take on a classic company. Lets see what it brings to the table.

Prelight

Well done cap, medium sized veins, slight tooth to the wrapper. A mix of cedar on oak on the front with a light floral note and slightly sweet finish. Very clean cut very little loose tobacco. The prelight draw is hinting at a very different profile then the foot. Showing oak, black licorice, and a slightly sweet raisin on the finish. Soft but consistent pack, let’s get this lit up.

1/3

It was very easy to light, tons of smoke production, cedar and oak on the front with a grassy note following and leather and black licorice on the finish. The foot gave different notes then the prelight draw, and the prelight draw gave different notes then the actual profile. Slight white pepper lingering on the finish. Medium to full body and low strength. Smooth and enjoyable at the moment. As the first third progress’ the complexity rises as the licorice moves to the center of the profile and the cedar develops on the front. White pepper came up on the finish as the leather dropped and the strength has risen to a low to medium.

2/3

As I reach the second third the cigar is still rising in strength just starting to reach a medium. Body is holding at a medium to full. The burn line has been perfect the entire time with a very thick and sturdy ash. The center is changing the floral note and licorice are dropping as a mixed nut comes up. Cashew and salted peanut are the flavors. Great profile, and still thick creamy smoke. The white pepper is still lingering on the finish. As I get to the end of the second third there is a citrus note coming up alongside the white pepper. Cedar remains on the front and mixed pepper in the center of the profile.

3/3

Cedar has come up on the front and the mixed nut is dying. The white pepper finish is coming up and there is a light leather back with it. The strength stayed at a medium and the body was constant at a medium to full the entire cigar. Great profile, and it ended well balanced and appropriately. The burn line is a testament to the construction and the prestige of the Ashton cigars, wonderful throughout.

Smoke Time: 1 hour and 10 minutes

Conclusion: 89

This cigar was a good flavorful, and entertaining mix. The company was very successful at introducing another successful blend to their portfolio. If you enjoy the high complexity and the variety of flavors this is a no brainer for a box purchase, it is worth trying out beforehand though.

Also, a shout-out to Lenny in Rocky Point, he said he has yet to try and Ashton and this would be one that I would absolutely suggest for him. Hope everyone enjoy’s their weekends.
