Let's cut straight to the chase: The Ashton Symmetry Sublime is a 6x52 parejo-shaped stogie priced at $392.63 per box of 25. This Dominican-made cigar sports an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper hugging aged Nicaraguan and Dominican fillers. Medium-full in strength, it's the kind of smoke that makes you check your lighter twice - not for relights, but to ensure you're not accidentally torching something this well-crafted.
The initial puffs hit with cinnamon spark and red pepper bite - not face-slapping intensity but more like a barista's accidental chili powder in your latte. Retrohale brings faint floral notes under the spice curtain. Burn line stays laser-straight without touch-ups.
At the halfway mark, the party transitions smoothly. Creamy almond butter takes center stage while the pepper morphs into white variety. Draw remains effortless with medium smoke output. Watch for the ash - it holds tight past the inch mark before dropping like concrete chunks.
Last third introduces roasted coffee beans and what I'd call "charred oak sweetness". Nicotine buzz creeps up gradually - noticeable but not overwhelming. The final inch sees slight tar buildup, making this a 75-minute smoke max for clean finish enthusiasts.
Rolled in Tabacalera A. Fuente's Dominican factory, the Symmetry blend combines volcanic soil-grown Ecuadorian wrapper with Estelí Nicaraguan binder and Cibao Valley filler. This multi-origin approach explains its "global citizen" flavor profile - enough complexity to intrigue veterans but approachable for newcomers eyeing premium sticks.
