Ashton, the
respected and successful brand that was founded in the 1980s by Robert Levin,
quickly earned a reputation for producing very high-quality cigars.
The high
quality of their craftsmanship rests on a number of factors, but one of the
keys is that all cigars are made from carefully selected tobacco leaves and the
production process is overseen with meticulous attention to detail. Another
fundamental element of the quality of Ashton cigars is its partnership with
renowned manufacturers to produce some of its cigars, such as the Fuente family
in the Dominican Republic. In addition, it offers a wide range of blends to
suit the different tastes and preferences of cigar enthusiasts: its portfolio
includes both mild cigars and fuller-bodied options, broadening the offerings
for smokers to choose from.
Over the
years, Ashton has garnered numerous positive reviews from cigar aficionados and
industry experts, and many of its cigars frequently receive high ratings in
magazine rankings and specialty venues.
Although
the brand has numerous lines, all very prestigious, the Ashton Classic is one
of the best known and most popular collections it offers, to the point that it
is often considered the flagship cigar series in its portfolio.
The blend
of this line of cigars strikes a balance between mild and medium strength,
producing a smooth and mellow smoking experience that makes it accessible to a
wide range of smokers. It uses aged Dominican tobaccos for the filler and
binder, which add notes of cedar, cream, nuts and subtle sweetness to the
cigar's flavor. The wrapper is a Connecticut leaf with golden tones, which
contributes to the smooth, creamy and slightly spicy flavor profile offered by
this line.
The Ashton
Classic line offers a variety of sizes and formats, catering to different
preferences. The most common sizes include Robusto, Churchill, Corona and
Double Magnum, among others, all presented in boxes of 25 units.
Currently
available in our store are the Ashton Classic Cigars Double Magnum, the Ashton
Classic Cigars Panetela and the Ashton Classic Corona, which is on sale.
The
Ashton Classic Double Magnum is one of the Ashton Classic options. With a 6-inch dimension and a 50
ring gauge, this cigar offers a large format that contributes to a fuller, more
complex flavor profile that provides a prolonged smoking experience, especially
for those who enjoy longer, more relaxed cigar sessions.
Ashton
Classic Cigars Panetela is another format within the Ashton Classic line. The
"Panetela" size, with a length of 6.5 inches and a ring gauge of 36,
is a classic, slender cigar shape much appreciated by those who prefer a more
delicate and refined smoking experience. This slim size allows for shorter smoking
time compared to larger cigars, making it an excellent choice for those who
want to smoke fast or prefer milder flavors.
The
Ashton Classic Corona,
with a length of 5 1/2 inches and a ring gauge of 44, is a sweet and very mild
cigar that provides a sweet and aromatic smoke with a complex flavor that
remains fairly stable as the cigar burns completely. Smoke one of these
excellent Corona's and you will enjoy a smooth, rich and creamy cigar
experience. The flavors are wonderfully enhanced when you enjoy this cigar with
a cup of coffee or while relaxing with the morning paper.
As with the
brand's other cigars, the Ashton Classic cigars have to pass very strict
quality controls to get to the box. The result is a cigar that looks and feels
like a fine work of art.
