Ashton ESG

The '94' rated, #8 Cigar of 2014
One of the rarest releases offered in not only Ashton's expansive portfolio, but across the entire premium handmade market, the ESG (Estate Sun Grown) will impress any and all who answer its call. Extremely limited in production, Ashton ESG often isn't easy to find in-stock. 2007 saw the super-premium blend debut, rolled exclusively in a churchill size (20-Year Salute). Each year after its initial release, Ashton added a new size to the line-up. Expansion came to completion in 2010, with ESG offering 5 different vitolas to the voracious legion of loyal enthusiasts clamoring for their cut.
Ashton ESG is crafted at the famed Chateau Fuente, the Dominican home to OpusX, Añejo, God of Fire, and many more. Featuring Fuente's world-renowned Dominican tobaccos, the real prize realized in this super-special recipe is the wrapper—a rare Dominican Sun Grown leaf grown exclusively on the Fuente family farms for an extremely finite number of projects. Expect full-bodied notes of earth, leather, and spice as the finish leaves a nutty, toasty character on your palate. With a strength that can't be considered anything but strong, a complexity of flavor that can't be surpassed, and a luxuriously long finish that can't be forgotten, Ashton ESG has everything an aficionado could want, and then some!
