Ten cigars across five Ashton lines, two of each, handmade in the Dominican Republic and listed here from mildest to fullest. The Ashton 10-Cigar Sampler is the whole Ashton range in one box, and on the Burn Clock it splits evenly: five Power Hour™ smokes and five Weekend Warrior™ smokes.
Sampler includes:
-
Ashton Classic 8-9-8 (6 1/2 x 44): Mild and polished. Cream, cedar and toasted almond.
-
Ashton Classic Magnum (5 x 50): The same mellow blend, shorter and thicker. Smooth and nutty.
-
Ashton Cabinet Selection #8 (7 x 49): Extra-aged and silky, with light coffee and cedar.
-
Ashton Cabinet Selection Pyramid (6 x 52): The tapered head sharpens the flavor. Creamy with toasted wood.
-
Ashton Aged Maduro #20 (5 1/2 x 44): Broadleaf maduro. Dark chocolate, espresso and sweetness.
-
Ashton Aged Maduro #40 (6 x 50): Richer and rounder, with cocoa and a soft pepper finish.
-
Ashton Heritage Puro Sol Belicoso (4 7/8 x 49): Sun grown and medium to full. Earth, leather and spice.
-
Ashton Heritage Puro Sol Corona Gorda (5 3/4 x 46): Longer and thinner, which pushes the spice forward.
-
Ashton VSG Robusto (5 1/2 x 50): Virgin Sun Grown. Full-bodied, with espresso and dark chocolate.
-
Ashton VSG Sorcerer (7 x 49): The longest here and the biggest finish. Cigar Aficionado's No. 12 Cigar of 2020 (94).
If you are newer to cigars, start at the top of the list and work down. Pair the Classic and Cabinet with a latte or a light rum, and save the Heritage and VSG for bourbon, Scotch or an unsweetened cold brew. Explore more Ashton cigars and cigar samplers.
