Ashton ESG 22 Year Salute (New.. Torpedo)
WOW!! I am not a Fuente fan, but this is an incredible cigar. A much better showing than the first two ESG - 20, 21 Year Salut. Very, very nice....

If it is better than the 21 I'll have to give it a shot. I really enjoy the 21's.

Not a Fuente Fan??

Had an Ashton VSG Enchantment last night, seemed kinda mild for a VSG.

Well... probably gonna take a beating for this one, but smoked an Acid Krush Classic Maduro. It was a small cigar wit a purple ring. I have saw alot of times this is a crap cigar brand, but I must say I liked it. Nice taste which goes along way with me at work since I pretty much keep the cigar in my mouth the whole time I'm smoking it.

Am I a bad person.....

BigWhiteAsh-

As I said.......on Fuentes I am not a fan. IMO they are more concerned about production numbers and not on flavor.

As for the VSG......you may have had an older box production. The VSG's where a bit flat up until 6 or 7 months ago. All new product I have been receiving looks and tastes much better. I am comparing to VSG's of a 1-1 1/2 ago. Todays wrapper color is much richer and flavor does pop.

Dependig on your tastes - it might be worth a revisit.

I noticed this. I bought a few VSG's from a B&M that had a lighter colored wrapper then the ones I recently purchased on cigarbid. The newer ones have a much darker wrapper and they seemed to have a more complex and rich flavor.

I've had a few original release VSG "rounds" that were outstanding, and pretty much every other VSG I've smoked was excellent. Maybe I just got a dud... I'm sure they happen to Ashton too

Last night... Anejo 55, the last regular release vitola i had yet to try.

Went to a Perdomo event tonight and smoked a Perdomo Habano Torpedo there and then brought a Perdomo 10th Anni. Maduro Robusto and smoked it when I got home.

Great cigars, both burned great. The Habano really picked up in the last third and had great flavor to it. The 10th Anni. Robusto was also really good, burned great. Great flavor all the way through. Nubbed both of these.

Then smoked my pipe

Also smoked a Camacho Corojo Ltd. 11/18 (Thanks to a very gracious BOTL), Tatuaje Havana VI Verocu 1 and a Sol Cubano Maduro the past couple of days

I completely agree with that statement. I'm going to get a box after the holidays.
