Slight similarities in these smokes; or am I smoking?

What does Kumar think?

If the Ashton is totally boring then it's probably just like the Anejo. :-)
[Reply]

Been a very long time since I have smoked these but other than both having a maduro wrapper I dont remember any taste similarities. :-)
[Reply]

Ashton Aged maduro (:-)) tastes nothing like an Anejo (:-)) IMHO.

I don't know. I smoked a VSG from 2004 and I pretty near reached sexual fulfillment. Never got that from any Anejo (I almost said Fuente...:-)) I've smoked.
[Reply]

Aged VSGs are quite incredible.

The Ashton Aged Maduro probably smokes better ROTT, but the Aņejo will be good after 8-12 months.

They are both one of the few maduros I will light up. They don't have much in common in flavor to me. The Ashton is a solid smoke while the anejo can be out of this world.
[Reply]

I smoke both. and they each have there own flavor profile. They are each blended with diffrent things in mind. So, no they are not simular.
[Reply]

:-) I have not found the Ashton to be that good
[Reply]

I enjoy both. Like the Ashton Maduro for a morning golf smoke with a cup of coffee though.

I really don't understand how anyone could be board by an Anejo. One of my favorites.
[Reply]

It may be your favorite but that does not change the fact that someone else may not find them appealing. :-) Everyone has different tastes. Its like saying everyone should like chocolate cake because it is your favorite.

I find Anejo's to be extremely one dimensional. I have smoked both fresh ones and aged in many different vitolas and find nothing appealing to my palate. But that does not mean that I think others cannot enjoy them. :-)

Try exhaling an Anejo through your nose. :-)

Correctamundo! If you smell singed nose hairs I recommend stopping! :-):-)

Love them, and do it all the time. Thats the great thing about cigars, they make so many that everybody should be able to find what they like. :-)
[Reply]

What's wrong with chocolate cake? Just don't exhale it through your nose and you'll be fine. :-)
[Reply]

I love them both, especially the #40 and the Shark. To me they are very different and the Shark is much better, but I still enjoy smoking the #40s.
