Ashton Benchmade Cigars

Ashton Benchmade

Another high quality release from Ashton, the Benchmade is made by Don Pepin Garcia in Nicaragua. Ashton is trying to steal the value throne from Flor de Oliva with this blend. Although this line is similar to the Tatuaje White label which Don Pepin Garcia also makes. A Nicaraguan puro, the Benchmade is constructed with long and short fillers, a Nicaraguan binder and the wrapper is a Sumatra seed leaf grown in Nicaragua. The Sumatra seed wrapper gives the Ashton Benchmade a flavor profile very similar to another of Don Pepin's creations, the Cubao. This medium bodied stick gives an earthy, spicy smoke with hints of sweetness and some people say prunes. Remember the mixed construction of long and short fillers will lead to a shorter ash and some people may find tobacco in their mouths. The Ashton Benchmade is available in four sizes: Cazadore, Churchill, Robusto, and Toro.
