The Ashton Half Corona comes ready-to-smoke with its open-ended design - just pop the tapered end in your mouth and light up. This 4⅛" x 37 Dominican-based smoke delivers mild cinnamon and cedar notes through its Cameroon wrapper, perfect for 20-minute coffee breaks. The construction holds firm with minimal relights despite the petite format.
First Third: Immediate woodiness with baking spice undertones - think cedar planks dipped in cinnamon sugar. Smoke production remains modest but steady.
Middle Third: Develops subtle sweet tea characteristics while maintaining core woody profile. Draw tightens slightly but manageable without tools.
Final Third: Cameroon wrapper shows its sweet-spot with honeyed notes peeking through. Watch for quick nicotine build-up in last inch - better to quit while ahead.
The Cameroon wrapper showed faint oil sheen despite the box's dry-looking exterior. Burn line stayed within ¼" variance after initial correction. Minimal filler drop-out when nubbed - impressive for short filler construction.
