The Ashton
name has become internationally
recognized and respected for its
commitment to the manufacturing
and distribution of the finest
premium cigars.
The
Ashton cigar is the realization
of Robert Levin's dream, a
second generation tobacconist
from Philadelphia whose idea for
Ashton came from years of
experience in the industry, not
only as an importer and retailer
of cigars, but also as a true
connoisseur of the world's
finest cigar blends. Levin
created Ashton cigars in 1985
and today, with the
manufacturing expertise of the
world renowned Fuente Family,
Ashton cigars have become one of
the most sought after premium
cigars in the world. The finest
and richest Dominican grown leaf
are used for the filler and
binder providing Ashton with its
unique complexity; only the
oiliest, silkiest Connecticut
Shade grown and finest Ecuador
(for the VSG) wrappers are used
rewarding Ashton with its
distinctive character. The
result is a perfect balance of
complexity and character.
Ashton
cigars are offered in six very
different and distinct blends.
The broadest Ashton offering is
the hand rolled premium cigar
selection with thirteen sizes,
delivering medium body and
consistent long lasting taste.
The Cabinet Selection, a Vintage
Limited Edition as the name
suggests, entails a tobacco
"aging process" for the tobacco
that is three to four years old
and then aged for an additional
year. It includes no less than
six different tobaccos resulting
in a rich, medium bodied complex
tasting cigar available in eight
sizes. The Ashton Aged Maduro is
a naturally dark, sweet cigar
which comes from proper
fermenting and a never hurried
aging of the wrapper giving this
cigar its flavor and smoothness.
Seven sizes of this superior
maduro
wrapped cigar are available.
