This is one of the few full boxes of cigars I have purchased and although it goes against everything I have ever been told, I did so without trying one first simply based on how many people were seeking them out. Besides, I figured if I was not a fan I could always find another enthusiast who would jump at the chance to try them out.

Below is the fifth dual review in our series of 6. Big thanks to Three Cigar Dogs for providing us with the cigars for reviews. Check this shop out!

Joe K: Ashton brand cigars have been touted as one of the more consistently enjoyable lines available. Being an Arturo Fuente product, that should not come as much of a surprise to anyone. As of this review, I had not tried many of the Ashton line but enjoyed my recent experience with an Ashton ESG, despite some construction issues and looked forward to trying another within the line.

Stephen: Up this time for review is the Ashton Aged Maduro. The cigars hail from the famous Chateau de la Fuente, a farm and factory known for producing some of the most demanded cigars in the world. It sports a Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper. Ashton claims the flavors come from the wrapper being aged in Sherry finished French oak barrels. Well we will just see about that.

After a delicious late lunch of grilled chicken kabobs and a couple of outstanding craft brews, my loving wife and I decided to finish out our day with a couple of cigars. Her choice for the early evening, was an Ashton VSG Enchantment, while I decided on a slightly longer venture with an Ashton ESG 20 year salute.

More info about purchasing Ashton Cabinet cigars...

I picked up a few of these at another Aston Taste of Excellence events. These are great events. That evening the Cabinet Selection was paired with Oban 14 because it starts sweet but ends with a hint of spice. For this review, I smoked the cigar with no libation. The Cabinet’s Dominican filler is aged at least four to five years. The wrapper is aged one year longer. Aston claims no less than six different fillers in the cigar and it takes seven years to make it from seed to cigar.

The cigars for this review were kindly provided by CigarsDirect.com, your source for premium cigars.

Ashton VSG (Virgin Sun Grown) was introduced in 1999 and it's without doubt the most successful blend of the marca. Conceived in close cooperation with Oliva and Fuente families, it is blended from Dominican tobacco aged for 4-5 years, wrapped in an Ecuadorian leaf which is slowly matured under the sunlight filtered by clouds always present in the region. It has scored countless 90+ ratings from CI/CA and is considered one of the most sought-after cigars on the market.

This is the robusto version of Ashton’s flagship line . . . the Estate Sun Grown. The ESG sports a celebrated wrapper grown on the Chateau de la Fuente farm in the Dominican Republic. Ashton claims that this wrapper has never been used on any other cigar it produces and that the series relies on rare tobacco to provide its rich, bold complexity. We’ll see if these claims are accurate.

Was looking for a decent maduro and a friend recommended me Ashtons. I went for the corona and bought a box. They've been lying in the humidor for a few months before I took a few out for the review. Smoked them with a couple of friends, we all agreed that the Ashton Maduro No. 20 is a solid, medium to strong stick.

The Ashton Classic 8-9-8 was an experimental buy. I wasn't overly impressed by the look of it, but it was the last one in the box and I was intrigued. It was a pleasant surprise. As a rule I've never been much of a morning smoker, but this will eternally be my early morning cigar now.
