Ashton Aged Maduro No. 50

The Ashton Aged Maduro No. 50 is the long Churchill format of Ashton's maduro line, a 7 x 48 that gives you a slow, comfortable burn under a dark, oily Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper. As with the whole line, that wrapper is fermented and aged slowly so it reaches a deep brown naturally rather than being forced.

What it tastes like

This is a smooth, mild-to-medium maduro built around cocoa, coffee, cedar, sweet spice, and a dark-bread note, finished with the silky texture broadleaf is loved for. The longer length lets those flavors stretch out and stay mellow, and the Dominican fillers and binder keep everything balanced and easygoing. It is a relaxed, sweet-and-savory smoke rather than a strong one.

Who it is for

Reach for it when you want maduro richness over a long session without a big nicotine punch, which makes it friendly to maduro newcomers too. If you tend to buy these by the box, the how to store cigars without a humidor guide will help keep that broadleaf in good shape.

Rate it and track your collection in the Casa DNC app. For a quicker maduro in the same blend, the Ashton Aged Maduro No. 20 is a great corona.
