Smoking Experience

First Third

Cinnamon-dusted almonds open the show with subtle red pepper sparkles. Combustion stays razor-straight while producing feather-light ash. Dominican filler tobacco delivers that signature creaminess Ashton fans chase.

Middle Third

Toasted brioche and vanilla bean emerge through wisps of cedar smoke. Retrohale reveals white chocolate nuances. Burn requires zero touch-ups - this stick performs like studio recording equipment.

Final Third

Nicaraguan ligero kicks in gently with burnt caramel and walnut skin bitterness. Smoke turns silkier despite increased oil accumulation. Stop at 1" nub to avoid harshness - it's dessert, not endurance test.
