One blend, five shapes. The Ashton VSG 5-Cigar Sampler (Eclipse, Sorcerer, Torpedo, Robusto, Wizard) puts Ashton's Virgin Sun Grown, blended by Carlos Fuente Jr. and wrapped in dark Ecuadorian sun-grown leaf, into five formats, so what you are really tasting is how size and shape change a full-bodied cigar. Expect espresso, earth, dark chocolate and spice throughout, at about 60 minutes each on the Burn Clock.
Sampler includes:
-
Ashton VSG Robusto (5 1/2 x 50): The benchmark. Direct and concentrated.
-
Ashton VSG Eclipse (6 x 52): A little longer and wider, which cools the burn and rounds the spice.
-
Ashton VSG Torpedo (6 1/2 x 55): The tapered head sharpens and intensifies the draw.
-
Ashton VSG Wizard (6 x 56): The thickest here, so the smoke stays cool and slow.
-
Ashton VSG Sorcerer (7 x 49): The classic Churchill and the deepest finish, Cigar Aficionado's No. 12 Cigar of 2020 (94).
These are full-bodied and best on a full stomach, so save them for unhurried evenings. Red wine, bourbon or an espresso all pair well. Explore more Ashton cigars and full-bodied cigars.
