Ashton VSG Torpedo
Origin: Dominican Republic
Size: 6.50 X 55
Wrapper: Ecuador

From Ashton.com:
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:

I remember when these first came out about 3 or so years ago. I want to say only 1000 custom humidors were made and filled with this smoke and you had to buy the whole humidor for $6000.00.but just a few weeks ago i was able to find them selling as singles at Superior Cigars in NY.

The filler is the Ashton VSG and the wrapper is the Opus X, it's an incredible smoke and 2nd only to a CubanTtrinidad.the only problem was the price $45.00.

Notes:

The description above just about says it all, except that this is one hell of a cigar. No flaws at all. And although it is a strong smoke, it's smooth all the way down. They are not cheap, but in my opinion they are worth the money.
