If you try one Symmetry, make it this one. The Ashton Symmetry Robusto (5 x 50) is the size Cigar Aficionado put on its Top 25, at No. 8 for 2015, and it is the shortest and most direct way into the line.
It is box-pressed, with an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper over a Dominican binder and a Dominican and Nicaraguan filler, made in the Dominican Republic. Cedar and cream come first, then sweet spice and a little citrus brightness, at a medium-full body that never feels heavy. At about 55 minutes, it is a Power Hour™ smoke on the Burn Clock.
A glass of Champagne or a single malt suits it, and a café au lait makes it a fine late-morning cigar. Boxes of 25. Explore more Habano cigars and Ashton cigars.
