I've been smoking cigars for 18 years with about a 5 or 6 year break in the middle and you want to know what I've found about ash color?

It doesn't mean jack shit. I've had great cigars with white ashes, gray ashes, black ashes and horrid cigars with white ashes, black ashes and gray ashes. Certain tobaccos, grown under certain conditions, produce ash of _____ color. Take that same tobacco, grow it somewhere else, pump the same nutrients into the soil (and tobacco needs TONS of fertilizer and nutrients - it is a very hungry plant, one of hungriest actually), and it tastes a bit different, but equally good, now it has an ash that's kind of ______ in color.

So what your saying is an ash of a certain color is the same as any other!

And if you're MACS, even hairy ash is good!

WTF

LOL

TIGER

yeah but you're a queer...

how does that saying about ash goes, the darker the ash ---- the sweeter the cigar.......oh...uh...wait....that's something else.....never mind#-o

So to wrap this up once and for all - perhaps - it doesn't matter what protein blend/chemical/element is in the plant. A full combustion gives the richer white residue ash and a reduction in ash yield. So I guess if you are a grower and find that Mg doesn't affect the final taste of a cigar, pump the plant full of it for a nice, tight, light, white ash.
