Ashton

Ashton was created in 1985 by Robert Levin, whose father bought Holt's Cigar Company, a Philadelphia cigar shop, in 1957. Since 1988 the Fuente family has made Ashton in Santiago, Dominican Republic, and Robert Levin creates the blends together with Carlito Fuente.

Ashton Classic is the smooth, creamy benchmark, with a silky Connecticut wrapper. Cabinet Selection is aged longer for more depth, Aged Maduro adds the richness of Connecticut Broadleaf, and Virgin Sun Grown (VSG) brings more body. At the top of the range, the Estate Sun Grown (ESG) cigars use a rare Dominican sun-grown wrapper from the Fuente family's Chateau de la Fuente farm.

Refined rather than powerful, Ashton is a dependable choice for smokers who value Dominican quality and polish.
