The Ashton VSG (Virgin Sun Grown) is a very full bodied and flavorful cigar intended for the cigar connoisseur who enjoys a robust and potent smoke. The VSG is blended exclusively for Ashton by Carlos Fuente Jr. using 4 to 5 year old aged Dominican tobacco taken from the finest and most fertile plants. The distinct flavor of VSG comes from its wrapper grown on a private estate in Ecuador owned by the Oliva family where this wrapper leaf is grown for the Fuente Family exclusively for Ashton VSG.
Appearance :
The cigar is... gorgeous. The sun-grown wrapper is quite toothy and seems to radiate sunlight. The cap is expertly applied and the band looks really classy.
Flavor :
Pre-light, it exhales strong notes of coffee with an obvious sweetness due to the sun-grown wrapper. Once lit, the initial spiciness is nicely mixed with sweet vanilla flavors. As the spice mellows out, a whole array of flavors appears - nuts, roasted coffee, butter - with earthy undertones in the background. The bouquet is incredibly smooth but the smoke is definitely full-bodied.
Emerson’s Cigars also provides premium cigars at affordable prices.
