The Aged Maduro are my favorite Ashton, and they are the cigars that started me on my lessons, particularly the #20 and #30. I always keep a box in the 'dor. If you don't like spice you'd like these better. I generally blow smoke through my nose by opening the back of the throat, and restricting the flow through the lips while exhaling. So only some smoke goes through the nose. Try it with out smoke first, if you close your lips all the air goes out your nose, as you open your lips slightly some will go out your mouth, but some will still go out your nose, you can adjust it almost infinitely. A novice warning would be: When using smoke be sure to have full lungs to begin, and to clear out your mouth and nose of smoke before you inhale again. Enjoy and Keep on, Lernin2Herf Shadow -

I'll try and find the Tres Petite. If I do, I'll definitely get one and give it a review on the fan forums. Thanks Joe. I’ll try and find the Tres Petite.

I am a real fan of the Ashton brand and in particular the "cabinet" line of which I smoke a lot of the Tres Petite. The classic line as well as the cabinet have wonderful wrappers and are well constructed. Also if you would please try a Tres Petite I would enjoy your feedback. Thank you.

It's much easier to do that way.
