Ashton Small Cigars Connecticut Edition Cigarillos

The Ashton Connecticut Edition Cigarillos deliver Dominican filler tobaccos wrapped in golden Connecticut Shade leaf, packaged in 100-count boxes at $169.20. Measuring 3¾" x 26 ring gauge, these parejo-shaped small cigars offer 15-20 minute smoking sessions ideal for coffee breaks. The mild-medium profile balances cashew sweetness with coffee bean earthiness, finishing clean without lingering aftertaste.

  • Final Third: White pepper spice tingles develop near nub

Comparable Quick Smokes

These cigarillos work best as morning smokes paired with light roast coffee. The 100-count packaging makes them cost-effective for daily use ($1.69/stick), though bulk storage requires 65% Boveda packs to maintain wrapper elasticity.
