Ashton VSG Cigar Review
If you like cigars, you’re gonna love this product. It’s been a while since I’ve reviewed a cigar here on the blog. My local cigar shop told me this was the best product they had in the store for the money. At $22.00 CDN, how could I say no when looking at others in the $70+ range, which I simply can’t justify.
This was the Robusto version of the VSG - with a 50 ring size and five and half inches long.
For the money, this has to be the best cigar that I’ve enjoyed yet. It’s as good or better than the Exodus and the La Flor. You’re going to get cocoa and pepper on the palette. It’s not a mild cigar, but it doesn’t have edge either. It’s smooth.
It’s box pressed and is square, which I found had very practical value when I had to put it down and it didn’t roll away!
Brilliant.
The Dominican tobacco is grown by the Fuentes family for Ashton and the wrapper grown exclusively by the Oliva family.
Strangely, this cigar did NOT put out a lot of smoke and held the toast longer than most cigars with this ring size.
Here’s the video review of the cigar, while being stalked by a bee.
