Great Cigar. Straight medium flavours of cream,spice(pepper) with a fair bit of Citrus(Apricot) some wood notes. I bet some reading this just laughed but there was a distinct apricot flavour coming through which was confirmed by a good m8 who was also smoking the same cigar. But be warned, even though alot of reviews have this as a medium strength smoke, which for the first two thirds it was. But on hitting the last third the strength really increased. This cigar demands you smoke after a good full meal or at least have a good sweet/sugar based drink to counter the nicotine. Smoke time was around the one and half hours to two hour mark. For the price you cannot complain about this cigar and well worth at least trying one stick.

Upon opening the fresh tin of the Ashton winding road pipe tobacco, the aroma has a unique scent that smells like apricot and citrus. Although the tobacco is relatively moist, I would advise to allow drying time and for the tobacco to be smoked easily and preventing any tongue-bite issues. overall a very mellow and pleasant smoke.

Quite a relaxing light aroma whilst burning clean and even from start to finish. The flavours are woody tasting but sweet, with the nuts and maple tones and hints of coconut and chocolate. Best results are to smoke it calm and slow. Michael - C.Gars Ltd

I've searched high and low for a flavour profile on this cigar (or even some other reviews) and not really found much.
First third seemed nondescript I had a hard time pulling out any real flavours but at around the start of the second third a definite milk chocolate flavour started to come through which stayed with my through the rest of the cigar.
Once that milk chocolate hit I really enjoyed it, going to try some of their other vitola's and see what they're like.

In my early teens, a couple of friends and I would sneak into an off-licence and buy some cheap cigars - Hamlet, Henri Winterman's Cafe Creme, you know the sort. At the time we thought we were the bee's knees.
Well, this cigar has brought back those heady days. And not in a good way.
Construction is excellent. The burn is razor-sharp all the way. I didn't need to touch up with my lighter once.
But the flavour? Bland, not exactly harsh, but hardly smooth. Dull. Uninteresting. Never again.
My overwhelming impression? I'm sorry to say this, but it just tasted "cheap".
I bought some H Upmann half-coronas at the same time I bought these. They were only marginally more expensive, but were a world away in terms of flavour, quality and - most important of all - enjoyment.
Sometimes a misspent youth is worth revisiting. Not this time.

A pleasant tropical fruit aroma with hints of hickory nuts. Easy to light and burns even and quite cool, advisable to be smoked slowly. Overall a nice aromatic blend to be enjoyed peacefully - typical for a rainy day scenario. Michael - C.Gars Ltd
