Ashton has quickly become one of the most popular high end brands on the market and is one of the finest cigars rolled at Chateau Fuente.
When Robert Levin took over his father's smoke shop, he had big things in mind; namely, founding a brand that focused on great flavor and quality. It was with these ideals the Ashton dream was hatched, but to make this cigar a success Robert knew he would need the help of one of the best men in the business, Carlos Fuente. The Fuente Family has a long and prestigious history in the Dominican Republic. Currently they are one of the best-known makers of cigars in the world and their brands rank amongst the most exclusive, rare, and hard to find. With Fuente's expertise in tobacco and Levin's keen business sense, the two became partners and made cigar history.
The '90' rated Ashton Classic is a mellow to medium-bodied Dominican sporting a golden Connecticut Shade wrapper. The aroma is toasty and filled with competing flavors of wood and cashews with a light, spicy aftertaste. Impeccably constructed, Ashton Classic allows for an easy draw, which produces clouds of milky smoke with a perfect burn from start to finish. When enjoying this cigar, it becomes easy to reflect on the amount of time and patience that went into its flawless construction. It is best described as a solid Dominican smoke, with a little something extra.
