Ashton ESG is formally know as the Estate Sun Grown. What’s more important is this amazing blend consists of the irreplaceable reserves of the Fuente family’s oldest tobaccos. This all-Dominican recipe of ultra-mature tobaccos is finished in a rare Dominican wrapper leaf. Think, notes of cedar, graham cracker, molasses, and black pepper accompanying signature Dominican spices. To sum up, the ESG is a medium to full bodied Masterpiece.

The Ashton Symmetry edition was Ashton’s first venture into adding Nicaraguan leaves with their traditional Dominican filler. The result has been several 94 ratings along with two placements in the top 25 category. This cigar was a real achievement. Not only did it offer a more complex robust taste, it retained Ashton’s classic smoothness with a medium-bodied flavor.
