Ashton Cigars Symmetry

Ashton Symmetry

Holt's Staff Reviews · Nov 6, 2017

Ashton Symmetry is a cigar that will always be near and dear to my heart. Not only is it one of my personal favorites to enjoy with coffee in the morning, but it is also the first new Ashton to hit the market (launched in 2014) since I started smoking cigars 12 years ago. Founded in 1985, Ashton isn’t a brand known for rushing half-baked products to market, or pumping out new cigars by the dozen. Quite the contrary. In the 32 years they’ve been in business, Ashton has only released 7 brands under the Ashton umbrella.

It isn't often that Ashton Distributors Inc. puts out a new brand under the Ashton name, but when it does, the company dedicates an enormous amount of thought and care into the release.Many years in the making, the Ashton Symmetry debuted in 2014, and the company could not have chosen a better name. If you take a bit of poetic license, you could interpret the word "symmetry" to also mean balance, and this blend is a case study in balance. Symmetry is made in the Dominican Republic by the Fuentes. If you're familiar with Ashton's portfolio, Symmetry falls somewhere in between the VSG line and the Cabinet line in terms of strength. In terms of character, it has all the finesse of an Ashton product, but unlike other Ashtons, the Symmetry contains some Nicaraguan tobacco. This is a first for an Ashton-branded cigar.In this blend, a pristine Ecuadoran wrapper brings together the Symmetry's Dominican and Nicaraguan tobacco for a sublime smoking experience rich in black cherry notes, spicy cinnamon and coffee bean, and that's just on the first puffs. Notes of almond, vanilla and toast continue to unfold all in beautiful balance—or symmetry.
