The Ashton Cabinet No.4 is that reliable friend you reach for when craving a smooth Dominican smoke without drama. This 5.6" x 46 corona gets straight to business - aged Dominican fillers under a silky Connecticut Shade wrapper deliver instant creaminess. At about $12/stick in boxes of 25, it's your upper-midrange daily driver.
The cold draw gives that signature Dominican earthiness - think damp soil under oak trees. Initial puffs surprise with white pepper zing that quickly settles into roasted cashews. Burn line stays razor-sharp even with quick puffs.
Here's where the "cabinet" aging shows. Vanilla cream sweetness emerges, wrapping around core flavors of wheat toast and cedar. Smoke output remains moderate - no chimney effect here. Watch the ash; it holds firm past 1.5 inches before dropping clean.
Last third brings mild tannic bite like black tea leaves, balanced by caramelizing sugar notes. Nicotine creep becomes noticeable at nub stage - mild head buzz around 65-minute mark warns to pace yourself.
Office warriors needing afternoon relaxation without aroma complaints. Newbies appreciating construction consistency. Fuente fans wanting milder entry. Not for strength chasers or maduro lovers.
