Guys new here. Smoke 4 a day. Needless to say other than golf, cigars are a passion of mine. I am not defending nor condoning anyone or any company, I want to make that clear. Personally, I think a company who sells a product, should be proud of it, brag about it, or get rid of it. I was introduced to HotAsh cigars at a golf outting. They had a tent, a Red race car, gorgeous girls with Hot Ash attire. Needless to say the tent was a huge eye catcher. The girls were selling the cigars and even if you didnt smoke them, How could u say NO. I purchased two of the Hot Ash logoed cigars and was very pelasantly surprised...Smooth, nice slow burn, great ash. Very enjoyable, I have been smoking them ever since. 5 stars??? Well I guess the stars are in the eyes of the beholder. VERY good cigar, I will go with that. Again a matter of taste. The site in the forum is also very enjoyable, some pictures to liven it up. I don't mind a bragger of something he or she is proud of, nor an entertaining picture. I find it a plus to the site. Than again, thats me. I am enjoying the site tremendously, love all the comments, critiques, etc.
