Tasting notes

The Ashton Classic Panetela, with its elegant dimensions of 152.4 mm (6") in length and a diameter of 14.3 mm (⅝"), boasts an impeccable wrapper. Its Dominican Republic wrapper reveals a smooth and shiny texture, showcasing meticulous craftsmanship that catches the eye. This refined presentation is a true pleasure to hold, enhancing the overall experience.

On first olfactory contact, this cigar offers a subtle aroma, slightly woody with floral notes and a hint of honey. Upon lighting, the aromas intensify, revealing a blend of wood and spices that evolves into a pragmatic sweetness, never overwhelming. Enthusiasts will note a mild character, suitable for both novices and connoisseurs.

On the palate, the aromatic progression is smooth and consistent across the three thirds. Initially, the woody and spicy flavors blend harmoniously, followed by a light and pleasant journey in the middle, before reaching a finish that is tinged with a slight bitterness and subtle depth. The perfect pressure at the draw ensures a medium smoke, leading to a satisfying experience.

The final sensation is one of good balance between strength and sweetness, with a finish that remains moderate. What sets this cigar apart is its ability to charm without being too intrusive, making each draw a moment of calm.

Ideal for enjoying during a late afternoon, paired with a good red wine, the Ashton Classic Panetela invites relaxation. Its lightness makes it a delightful companion at any time of the day.
