Ashton Classic

Ashton Classic is what people mean by an elegant mild cigar. The aged Dominican filler is the difference — it gives a smoothness and a faint sweetness that younger tobacco cannot fake, and it is why the Classic costs more than most mild cigars. In the Churchill size it stretches past ninety minutes and stays even the whole way. Not exciting, deliberately. It is the cigar you smoke when you want to be comfortable rather than challenged.

A long, unhurried morning or a mild cigar that still feels like an occasion.
