I disagree with the assertion that the Connecticut shade wrapper is flavorless. I don't know why, but it seems most people want a cigar that will smack them in the face and blow their jaw off. A mild but complex smoke is a thing of beauty, and there will always be a good deal of space reserved for such a cigar in my humidor.

The review was nicely done, and the flavors you caught closely mirror my experiences with the Ashton Classic.

I too am fond of mild cigars, but compare CT Shade to Cameroon, Nicaraguan, or Cuban wrappers; CT Shade is like nothing is there. It burns very clean and white, but does not impart much flavor to the cigar.

Nice review!

Perfect in the morning with a cup of joe.

Thank you very much for the review. And Nathan I too really enjoy milder cigars. I used to really enjoy those knock you on your butt maduros, like Camacho Triple Maduro, but recently I have been enjoying mild cigars. I have not tried an Ashton before so I will be sure to pick one of these up sometime.
