I've only tried the Ashton in this group.
It's got to be up there, for sure.

Before I found the crew on the forum I used the CA 10 best list as a gauge for solid cigars, funny thing was I could never find any available after they published their list. Duh,

The Ashton ESG 22-Year Salute is an absolutely fantastic cigar. It's easily in my top 5 ever smoked.

Haven't tried any of them. Maybe will look for the Ashton based on James' (and not CA Top 25's) recommendation.

I checked JRs and CI, and they're only $450 a box.

I've had a few VSGs, and love them. I've never had an ESG, and at those prices I never shall.

For me it's definitely a special occasion smoke only.

If you want to get a couple to try at a decent price, look at the "Four Horsemen Super Sampler" here: http://www.holts.com/category.html?id=86664. That's not a bad deal at all.

Holy crap, don't know much about the new La Aromas, but those are some great cigars for the price!

Haven't bought any NCs for a while except singles at the B&M, went ahead and pulled the trigger.

I think the "regular" LADC Mi Amor is tastier than the Mi Amor Reserva, but it's still a tasty, complex cigar. But like you said, at that price you can't go wrong.

Yeah, with the Anejos and Padrons on top of the ESGs, don't know how you could go wrong, Larry.

I just found a potato that looks exactly like Marvin Shanken's profile.
Should I smoke it now or age it?
If I age it, cello or not?
