Ashton: Masterful Creations for Cigar Enthusiasts
In 1985, young American Robert Levin launched the first Ashton Cigars. With his passion for tobacco and entrepreneurial skill, he established the brand in the world of premium cigars. Today, Ashton stands alongside other renowned names like Dunhill and Santa Damiana as one of the industry’s leading manufacturers. Ashton cigars symbolize enjoyment, conversation, and moments of relaxation.
Premium Craftsmanship and Unique Flavors
In 1999, Ashton launched the Virgin Sun Grown (VSG) line, a full-bodied, medium-strength cigar that is considered a milestone in the cigar industry. This creation owes its success to its rare, exquisite wrappers and the filler leaves aged in the Dominican Republic. These leaves are aged up to five years in oak barrels, creating an unparalleled aroma.
These hand-rolled cigars represent quality and enjoyment at the highest level. Ashton offers six tobacco lines ranging from mild to bold, catering to every taste. Discover the classic Ashton Cigars at Rauchr.
Success Through Tradition and Innovation
Ashton’s success is closely linked to its partnership with the Fuente Family. Their extensive experience in tobacco production has been instrumental in ensuring the quality of Ashton cigars. Even today, these cigars are handcrafted in the Fuente factory ("totalmente a mano"). In recent years, Ashton has introduced other successful lines such as La Aroma del Caribe and Paradiso, which have also gained immense popularity.
Ashton: Exclusive Enjoyment
Cigar enthusiasts should not miss the Aged Maduro and the Cabinet Line. These series are characterized by their rich aromas, ranging from sweet to bold, peppery, and nutty—perfect for lovers of intense flavor experiences.
Thanks to the careful fermentation and aging of the tobacco leaves, Ashton offers a distinctive smoking experience. The range also includes a selection of samplers, allowing you to explore various lines. From Panatela to Belicoso—Ashton has the perfect format for every smoking occasion.
The Comprehensive Range of Ashton
Ashton continues to expand its offerings. The Nicaraguan Benchmade line impresses with its wide flavor spectrum. To celebrate its 20th anniversary, Ashton introduced the ESG (Estate Sun Grown) series, which continues to expand its success through new additions.
