Ashton Symmetry Sublime

The Ashton Symmetry Sublime is the toro of Ashton's award-winning Symmetry line, a 6 x 52 that gives the blend room to stretch out. Symmetry stands apart in the Ashton range for using Nicaraguan filler: an Ecuador Habano wrapper covers an aged Dominican binder and aged Nicaraguan long-filler, including bold leaf from Esteli, producing a blend many smokers call Cubanesque.

What it tastes like

This is a medium-to-full smoke that often starts with a quick hit of pepper before easing into cocoa, cedar, cinnamon-like spice, roasted coffee, and leather. The toro format and extra length let those flavors build and round out over a relaxed hour-plus, and the Sublime tends to feel a touch smoother and more developed than the shorter robusto. The construction is excellent, with a cool, even burn.

Who it is for

It is a strong choice for experienced smokers who want flavor, spice, and a bit of power in a larger size. Symmetry's two Top 10 finishes from Cigar Aficionado speak to how well this blend is regarded. Trying to gauge the jump from Ashton's mild lines? The cigar strength guide lays out the difference.
