SPECIAL NOTE: Any reviewers participating in this Geek Critique will be on a tight deadline and need to have the cigar reviewed by Dec. 25th.

This first Geek Critique of the new year is being generously sponsored by Vroomp (Brad).

The Cigar: Ashton Heritage Puro Sol

The Hype: Handcrafted in the Dominican Republic, Ashton Heritage Puro Sol captures a savvy audience for medium-bodied cigars with a spectacular bevy of 100% sun grown Dominican binder and filler tobaccos.  Gorgeous Ecuador Habano wrappers crown pronounced traces of spicy caramel and almonds.  Sugary notes chase impressions of fresh-cut toast.  A direct sunlight growing process champions a subtle elevation in strength without renouncing the classic, creamy finish of Ashton Heritage Puro Sol.

The Reviewers:

1. Jharrisx5 (Jason)

2. Sauraspop (Sammy)

3. Camshaft83 (Cam)

4. bmac7754 (Brian)

5. Longhorn (Brad)


Due Date: December 25th, 2014

Note: A reviewer who posts their review late will receive neutral feedback. A reviewer who does not post at all will receive negative feedback. There are always exceptions to the rule and a reasonable excuse for tardiness or a no show will be respected and thus not counted against the reviewer. Our sponsoring members and our administrators make the choice of who is to participate in any particular Geek Critique and can be better informed of their choices with this new initiative in place.

A big thanks goes out to Brad for taking this one on and providing a unique cigar. THANKS!! And happy smokin'  :cigarman:

Please keep that in your most stable humi! :shades:

 I am really interested in what burn rates we get on these since that has been the only shortcoming so far in current reviews....... :biggrin:
