Ashton ESG 23 Year Salute

94 points, Blind Man's Puff

The Ashton ESG (Estate Sun Grown) line was meticulously crafted to commemorate the momentous 20th Anniversary of the Ashton brand. With the visionary collaboration of Robert Levin, the brand's founder, and the esteemed Carlos "Carlito" Fuente Jr., the ESG blend was brought to life. This extraordinary blend exclusively features Dominican tobaccos, while its wrapper is sourced from the prestigious Chateau de la Fuente farm.

The ESG 23 Year Salute showcases a stunning Ecuadorian Sun Grown wrapper that has been aged for an impressive 23 years. This wrapper leaf exhibits a gorgeous reddish-brown hue and a luxurious sheen. Beneath the exquisite wrapper, a blend of meticulously selected and aged Dominican binder and filler tobaccos awaits. These tobaccos have been expertly aged for an extended period, allowing their flavours to develop and mature to perfection. The result is a blend that harmoniously combines complexity, depth, and richness.

The cigar offers a symphony of flavours that dance on the palate. Notes of cedar, leather, androasted nuts intertwine with nuances of earth, spice, and a subtle sweetness. Each puff delivers a luxurious and well-balanced profile, making for an indulgent and gratifying smoking journey.
