Ashton Cigars VSG (Virgin Sun Grown)

Ashton VSG

Holt's Staff Reviews · Apr 27, 2018

Today I’m smoking an Ashton VSG in a substantial 7.5-by-54 Double Corona called the Spellbound. This bold and decadent smoke hails from a serious pedigree, and it’s blended by legendary cigarmaker Carlito Fuente. When you’re in the mood for a smooth, full-bodied cigar that easily lasts over an hour, allow me to elaborate on why the Ashton VSG Spellbound should be at the top of your list.

Ashton VSG Estate Reserve Corona Gorda

I was not sure what to expect from this cigar before smoking it. However, after smoking it, the VSG ER seems to combine the best of both worlds: the sweetness of an aged VSG and the spiciness, complexity and strength of the OpusX, which is not surprising, since it is essentially a combination of the two brands. Incredibly complex flavors, great draw, an ok burn and the perfect amount of spice and pepper to enhance the flavors. Is this the best Fuente cigar I have smoked? Yes, it was and that includes the Casa Fuente Lancero and the Don Carlos Lancero , both of which I love with abandon. They are expensive as hell, if you can even find them for sale, but in this case, the hype is warranted.

Ashton Virgin Sun Grown Illusion

Cigar Aficionado · Jan 1, 2024

With a brand as large as Ashton’s Virgin Sun Grown series (12 sizes in total), it’s easy for some of those cigars to get lost in the shuffle, especially with current trends favoring thicker smokes. But it would be a shame to overlook the Illusion, a long, thin lonsdale that gave an enchanting performance. It may not be the most popular size in the line, but it was the most memorable this year and a shape that best showcases the dark Ecuador Sumatra wrapper. Made by Arturo Fuente Cigar Co. in the Dominican Republic, the Illusion has a powerful earthy base punctuated and enhanced by a rich, precise roasted peanut quality that resonates clearly on the palate.

is a great cigar. The flavor profile is consistent and definitely something that everyone should give a try. I’m glad I was able to get this one as part of this Cigar Saveur sampler box. So if you’re see some online or in your local shop for under $10 then certainly pick it up and give it a try to see if it hits your palate then you’ll know if you should pick up any more.

Since its debut in 1999, the Ashton VSG has seen the market go from mild to bold, Connecticut shade to maduro, and back again. It has seen the ebb and flow of consumer interest, and it has always found its place in the hearts of consumers. This brand is a testament to quality, longevity, and staying true to your identity.
