marco polo Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I'm a relative newbie to Cuban cigars, but I was wondering if there is a characteristic ash color or does it just depend on conditions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

litehedded Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 it seems the older the stick, the lighter the ash. but I'm no expert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jqmunro Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Cuban cigars tend to not be very light in ash color, and are usually serrated with dark and light gray as you see in all of the reviews done by the great El Prez... some of the older stuff can be light, but that's the exception rather than the rule. I would even question the authenticity of a relatively new cigar with snow white ash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonerpc Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I hear it's the minerals in the soil of cuba that make the ash dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt45 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 We had a discussion on this not too long ago. While soil composition can play a role, it seems combustion - how complete, or incomplete - plays the greatest role. If you do a search, you should be able to find these threads.

I smoked a Casa Fuente Corona Gorda, the ones that are only available in Vegas, and the ash was as white as can be. The first time I have ever seen it so white.

CigarZen Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I have been told that the more magnesium in the soil the whiter the ash. MRN says the older the cigar the more of whatever contributes to the flavor has brloken down and the more completely the cigar burns, leading to a whiter ash. I have found some of the best havanas have darker ashes. Who knows. El Prez? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CigarZen Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 oh... and don't let Mel yank your chain... He'll take whatever ash he can get.:-D And so would most of us.:-P :-D :-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
