• Brands
  Ashton VSG

  The Ashton VSG cigar was blended exclusively for Ashton by Carlos Fuente Jr. using 4 to 5 year old aged Dominican tobacco. The distinct flavor comes from its wrapper grown on a private estate in Ecuador. The Ashton VSG leaf is taken from the higher primings and matures slowly by sunlight filtered through the region’s natural cloud covering. The result is the rich intoxicating wrapper which has made the Ashton VSG the most in demand cigar on the market today.
