Ashton VSG Corona Gorda
Origin: Dominican Republic
Size: 5.75 X 46
Wrapper: Ecuador VSG

From Knoxville Cigar:
For those who desire a powerful and intoxicating flavor with a complex rich finish, look no further than the Ashton VSG. The VSG is blended exclusively for Ashton by Carlos Fuente Jr. using 4 to 5 year old aged Dominican tobacco taken from the finest and most fertile plants. The distinct flavor of VSG comes from its wrapper grown on a private estate in Ecuador owned by the Oliva family where this proprietary wrapper leaf is grown for the Fuente Family exclusively for Ashton VSG. The leaf is taken from the higher primings and matures slowly by sunlight filtered through the region¹s natural cloud covering. The result is the rich intoxicating wrapper which has made the Ashton VSG the most in demand cigar on the market today.

Notes:

An excellent full body cigar. The draw was perfect and the cigar had a very earthy taste that grew better as I smoked it. This was one of the best cigars I have ever smoked. It was given to me as a gift and after smoking it I decided to purchase some for myself. That is where I found the one drawback for this fine cigar, the availability and the price. It is on the higher end even buying in box quantity. It is worth it if you can keep most of them for yourself or for good friends that appreciate a good cigar.

Notes:

A wonderful smoke from start to finish. It looked good, it burned even, it tasted great. There ws no unplesant after taste. The only thing wrong with it is that I was given this and I have none left. Just a wonderful smoke to have.
