Robert Levin, son of a Philadelphia cigar merchant, created the Ashton brand in 1985. A close friend of the Fuente family, they enabled Robert Levin to extend his experience and become one of the emblematic figures in the world of cigars over recent years. The filler of Ashton cigars and the part under the covering are usually composed of Dominican tobacco. The outer cover comes either from Connecticut, Ecuador or the Dominican Republic. Ashton cigars are available in six distinctive lines: Classic, Aged Maduro, Virgin Sun Grown (VSG), Estate Sun Grown, Cabinet and Heritage.
Very traditional in its format, this Robusto, with a blend of tobacco selected by Carlos Fuente Jr., is relatively spicy when unlit. The first puffs are slightly peppery giving way to coffee. The firm and white ash is a sign of good construction. The aromatic development is very interesting and takes place gradually. However, this cigar requires a slightly lower than average humidity rate to offer perfect combustion.
