"shitty"
Wow was I disappointed! The robusto just doesn't work here. There were hints of the nice aromas and flavors i found in the churchill but that was it. Stick to one of the better reviewed sizes.

"Mild but Good"
This is a mild cigar but pleasing throughout. My idea of a good cigar is one you burn your fingers on before you put it out, roach clips would do nicely on this one. Not very complex and quite mild but a very good smoke, all the way to the nub. Good amount of smoke but could use a bit more. No burn issues, good draw if a bit too tight. Sat in the humi for about 3 months, additional aging probably wouldn't add much. Glad I have a box in stock.

"Bad Burn"
Eeh, overall a disappointment. Tasted pretty good. Mild. My morning cross-over to afternoon cigar. Had a hole in the wrapper, a little unraveled here and there. One of the worst burning sticks I've struggled with in recent memory. Canoeing and just plain going out on me. Ash was flaky like it was snowing, which it wasn't. A nice fine early taste of spring around here. Too bad the cigar wasn't as endearing as the day.

"Not bad, but not much to it"
Very mild, w/decent tobacco flavor, slightly peppery, consistent from start to finish. Nothing complex, but at least it didn't leave a bitter aftertaste. Effortless draw, never got hot, retained about 1.5" ash, thick blue-white smoke. Burn got uneven in the final third but never needed a relight.

"Smooth, great feel"
Well constructed. Great feel in the hand. Mild flavor is just a little light for me, but it is an excellent morning starter. I enjoyed every minute of this smooth tasty smoke. The price is normally abit overboard at $7, but I found some on sale at $5. Try Fonseca, Cu Avana or 5 Vegas Gold for mild without the drain on the bank account.

"Pricey for what you get"
Not a terrible smoke, but for 7bucks, I expected more. Finish was dry and woody, very little flavor. Produced less smoke than I like, but had a decent draw. Not worth it at this price

"Terrific morning smoke."
Flawless construction. Gorgeous wrapper. Even has a three-ring cap. Looks just like a Cuban. Tons of tasty but very mild smoke. Perfect with my morning latte. Not a punch in the mouth kind of flavor, but still tasty and complex. If I see these on sale, I'll buy a bunch.

"Great for Mornings"
I got this cigar as a gift in Vegas and had it one morning at the blackjack table. It is definitely mild but it also has a very creamy taste with no harshness or bitter aftertaste. This is a great smoke with your coffee or after lunch but it will not make it into the rotation for the poker game. Great smoke but for the price there are some good mild smokes that come in at far less money.

"Excellent mild smoke"
If you like mild cigars this is a good one. A bit pricey though. Good flavor, but it is mild so not a lot of it. Perfect draw and perfect construction. Wish it had a more complex flavor and was cheaper.

"Mild flavor. Harsh price."
A well made, attractive, consistently mild smoke. For 1/3 the price you could smoke a Gran Habano No 1 Connecticut and get more complex, yet still mild flavors. You are paying $4 for the attractive Ashton label and another $4 for the tobacco. A poor value.

"Mild like it's supposed to be"
A light cigar, both in weight and wrapper color. The construction is typically Ashton top-notch: an almost even burn leaving behind a nicely formed ash, and a great draw producing a huge amount of smoke. It's toasty with a steady stream of mellow wood, vanilla, and cinnamon flavors. I agree with the last reviewer: it looks mild, it is mild, and it's supposed to be mild, and it doesn't pretend to be anything else.

"Mellow-yellow"
This is probably the best OBVIOUSLY mild smoke on the market. True, while the flavor is not multi-dimensional...once again, it is a mild smoke. It's simple and smooth, like a Macanudo "Hyde Park" but better. The construction is flawless and the burn is great. If you like light cigars or on an empty stomach, the Mag. is a no brainer.

"Is it in yet?"
Beautiful light shade wrapper, great draw and ash. The problem is I kept looking at the cigar to see if it was lit. This has got to be the most tasteless smoke I ever had. I liken it to smoking a joint sans the marijuana.

"Mild with little flavor"
A very mild and gentle smoke that has some but not much flavor. The flavor, burn, and draw are all consistant though and this is a nice light smoke. Expensive for such a lack or complexity though

"dont waste your money"
a mild, boring, one dimensional, "hey look at me i just smoked $10" kind of cigar. (I was gifted this one from my tobacconist)

"boring"
Medium draw, uneven burn. Mild kind of boring taste. Would be good for a beginner, but I guess I've moved on a bit. Was given to me at an event, but at the prices people are paying no chance I'll have again. Much better cigars at half the price.

"For rich weiners"
The ashton robusto bordered on greatness, then boredom, because greatness never came. a mild and quite plain papery smoke that costs alot of money! I have smoked a dozen plus cigars at half the price that can kick this cigars ass. This robusto is a weiner @ filet prices........kinda bready and bitter at the end.

"Decent Smoke"
Good construction from this Primo, but a bit overpriced. Mild strength cigar wchich offered hints of coffee, and leather. Good cigar for the beginner to try, but lacked more flavor for the more experienced smoker.

The Ashton Magnum is a 5 inch/Ring gauge 50 cigar of utmost smoking pleasure for the
beginner as well as the experienced cigar smoker. It presents the enjoyment of its
larger sibling, the Churchill, but in a smaller package. Highly recommended by
mysel
