BENCHMADE by Ashton

7 x 50 Churchill $3.00
Nicaraguan

Tonight I am smoking a value priced cigar from Ashton made by Garcia. This I not a fuma made from short clippings...rather it is more of a 3/4 of a longleaf. You get long ash on this smoke. It has a taste similar to the Miami Vegas with a little kick. This is a great Pepin cigar at a great price.

Ashton Cigars states, "Benchmade is a new brand handcrafted in Nicaragua by
Jose "Pepin" Garcia. These cigars feature gorgeous,
dark-brown Nicaraguan wrappers, a pair of sturdy
Nicaraguan binders and a delicious selection of high-grade Nicaraguan fillers. Each cigar is finished with a handsome pigtail top. The flavors are medium to full-bodied with a sweet earthy richness and a spicy complexity.

Benchmade boasts the flavor and construction of a
super-premium cigar, yet the attractive price-tag of a value bundle. Available in 4 traditional sizes in elegant cedar boxes, BENCHMADE is the new benchmark for the value cigar."
