Ashton: Masterpieces of Cigars and Cigarillos
A young American named Robert Levin gave birth to the name Ashton in 1985 when he launched the first Ashton Cigars. A simple cigar enthusiast with a strong entrepreneurial spirit, Levin rose to the top. Today, Ashton is considered one of the premium manufacturers in the cigar industry, alongside other classics such as Dunhill and Santa Damiana. Ashton's cigars are renowned worldwide: they are talked about, smoked, and above all, enjoyed!
Expertly Rolled
In 1999, Levin introduced the Ashton VSG (Virgin Sun Grown), the first so-called full-bodied and medium-strength cigar. This innovation was deemed groundbreaking within the industry. Ashton had succeeded, thanks largely to the cigar’s composition. The selected and rare wrapper leaves make Ashton cigars truly unique. The binder and filler leaves originate from the Dominican Republic and are aged up to five years in old oak barrels.
The resulting aroma is unique and stunning. Every connoisseur knows: Ashton cigars maintain high quality standards and offer exceptional flavor. Today, there are six distinct tobacco editions: from mild to strong, there's something for everyone. Levin understands the tobacco business and now caters to a broad audience. The classic Ashton Cigars can also be purchased from our Cigarworld.de online shop.
Arturo Fuente as Mentor
Levin’s passion for cigar manufacturing and his business relationships with one of the most successful families in the tobacco industry – the Fuente Family – significantly contributed to Ashton’s success. Ashton’s cigars became a phenomenal bestseller shortly after their debut. Levin knew from the start what the public wanted, and he delivered exactly that. His close collaboration with the Fuente Family and their decades of experience was invaluable. To this day, all Ashton cigars are hand-rolled in the Fuente factory (“totalmente a mano”). Years ago, Levin also enlisted another famous name in the tobacco business: the Garcia Family. Unsurprisingly, the launch of La Aroma del Caribe and Paradiso was also quickly met with success.
Cigars by Ashton: Exclusivity Included
The excellent and exclusive flavor of Ashton cigars is something every cigar enthusiast should try at least once. Particularly noteworthy are the Aged Maduro and the Cabinet Line. They deliver a rich – initially sweet – flavor, ending with a full-bodied peppery to nutty note reminiscent of a heavy red wine.
This smoking experience is the result of meticulous aging and fermentation of the wrapper leaves. These impart a unique complexity that every cigar aficionado will appreciate. At Cigarworld.de, you will find a wide selection of Ashton’s current cigar lines and a selection of various samplers from different series. From Panatela to Belicoso, all formats in Ashton’s range are available, offering the perfect cigar for every smoke duration.
Ashton: The Complete Offering
But that’s not all. Ashton has continuously expanded its production, and many additional lines have been introduced. As the first Ashton cigar from Nicaragua, the highly complex Benchmade showcases a broad flavor spectrum crafted by Pepin Garcia. For its 20th anniversary, Ashton gifted itself with a commemorative cigar. The ESG (Estate Sun Grown) was such a success that the series was expanded annually with new variations.
In 2014, after a decade-long hiatus for the label, the Symmetry was launched. Initially planned for an earlier debut, the project was delayed due to a fire in one of Carlos Fuente’s warehouses. The Heritage Puro Sol, featuring a sun-grown Ecuadorian wrapper, stands out for its sun-ripened, richer tobacco among Ashton’s lines.
Small Formats
Even during short breaks, aficionados don’t have to miss out on Ashton enjoyment: small formats with various wrappers such as the Small Cigars Cameroon and the Ashton Small Cigars Connecticut ensure full enjoyment in a shorter duration.
