VSG stands for Virgin Sun Grown, the dark, sun-grown Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper that made the line famous. The Ashton VSG Sorcerer (7 x 49) is its classic Churchill, lightly box-pressed like most of the line, and Cigar Aficionado named it the No. 12 Cigar of 2020, rated 94.
Under that wrapper is Dominican binder and filler, made in the Dominican Republic. It is full-bodied: dark chocolate and espresso up front, then leather and an earthy spice that builds as the length works through. About 85 minutes, a Weekend Warrior™ on the Burn Clock, and best after a real meal.
This is a cigar for a long dinner, a fire pit or a quiet night with something good in the glass. A single malt or a big red wine stands up to it, and a dark-roast coffee does too. Boxes of 24. Explore more Ashton cigars and full-bodied cigars.
