This potent, full-strength cigar offers a rich complexity with notes of cedar, espresso bean, black pepper, earth and leather. Its dark chocolatey Ecuadorian Sumatra-seed wrapper covers a Dominican binder and filler. The Ashton Virgin Sun Grown (VSG) brand was born out of the partnership of two greats in the cigar industry: Robert Levin, an experienced tobacconist, and Carlos Fuente Jr. from the prestigious Tabacalera A. Fuente. Launched in 1985, the Ashton VSG is a consistently high rated cigar that has become a classic for the cigar connoisseur. The Ashton VSG Robusto Especial TAA is handmade in the Dominican Republic.
