Celebrating two decades of exceptional craftsmanship, the Ashton ESG 20 Year Salute is a remarkable cigar that showcases the subtlety of its strength under a dark and inviting Cuban-seed sungrown wrapper from the esteemed Chateau de la Fuente. This 6.73' by 49 cigar, rolled to commemorate Ashton's 20th anniversary in 2005, impresses with a deceptively mellow start that belies its underlying power, aptly earning its nickname "Velvet Hammer" as it reveals a sneaky punch partway through. Crafted entirely with Dominican Republic tobaccos, this exclusive offering resonates with a unique allure, making it a coveted addition to any aficionado's collection. Rated 90, its rarity is matched by its refined delivery of complex flavors.
