Ashton Symmetry Sublime: a convergence of tradition and innovation
Introduced by the illustrious Ashton, the Ashton Symmetry Sublime line represents the crossroads where tradition and creativity meet. Launched after the Ashton ESG series, it coincides with a plot for the rolled-leaf epicurean, featuring the distinctive contributions of Carlos "Carlito" Fuente Jr.
Combining the finesse of tobaccos from two terroirs, the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua, this cigar offers a complex, nuanced palette. It marks a first for Ashton, which adds a pinch of Nicaraguan spirit to its repertoire alongside its undisputed Dominican heritage.
A meticulously balanced blend
Ashton Symmetry Sublime is composed of carefully selected leaves from the fertile soils of Château de la Fuente and Villa Gonzalez, as well as the revered Un Bien Vecino d'Esteli, Nicaragua. This blend offers an architecture of flavors that resonates with connoisseurs.
This Sublimes module unveils an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, which envelops the work with as much grace as it adds depth. The smooth, lustrous wrapper announces a cigar with a medium-bodied air, assertive stature and skilfully orchestrated mouthfeel.
Construction and dimensions
The cigar is a respectable 152 mm long with a diameter of 20.64 mm, offering a tasting experience of 60 to 90 minutes. Its construction is the fruit of exceptional craftsmanship, where precision and patience reign supreme.
Each stick is a nod to the manual perfections possible when craftsmanship exceeds ordinary understanding. The cigar can be appreciated not only by the palate but also by the eye, presenting a visual presence highly respected by the enlightened audience.
Revelation at the palace
This medium-performance creation with its harmonious flavor profile never fails to stimulate the senses. The flavor path enters the scene with a woody, sweet-spice preamble, gradually revealing notes of roasted coffee and caramel.
The medium-bodied character reflects the balance between aroma and strength, subscribing to a harmony that suits both the novice and the more seasoned palate. There's no pain that a good cigar doesn't ease, and Ashton Symmetry Sublime is a faithful candidate for this credo.
Elegant presentation
This series is packaged in refined 25-unit boxes, underlining the reserved luxury of its distribution. The packaging alone confirms the grandeur of its contents, striking the mind even before the flame touches it.
The exclusivity of its allure, matched by the symmetry of its craftsmanship, generates a palpable anticipation that only the first puff will satisfy. The cigar is a testament to its cross-fertilized heritage, an ode to the soil in which it was born.
