The Ashton VSG Belicoso No.1, with its distinctive figurado shape and blunted tip, is an embodiment of flavor and complexity. Wrapped in a rustic, oily Ecuadorian leaf, this torpedo-sized cigar delivers a rich tapestry of cocoa and caramel, beautifully contrasted by a sharp red pepper spice that transitions into a lingering licorice finish. Alongside its sweet and spicy profile, it introduces undertones of spicy leather and chocolate-covered raisins, ending with a hint of sweet tea and pleasant minerality. Rated 90 points, this full-bodied Dominican blend is a testament to Ashton's heritage of crafting robust and deeply satisfying smokes.
