Ashton ESG 22-Year Salute

Ashton Estate Sun Grown is the rarest cigar Ashton makes. The wrapper is a sun-grown leaf from the Fuente family’s own Chateau de la Fuente estate — the same ground that produces OpusX — aged for years before a single cigar is rolled, over long-aged Dominican binder and filler. Production is tiny and allocation is annual, with each release named for the number of years the tobacco has rested. Full-bodied and exceptionally refined: dark chocolate, espresso, leather, cedar and a sweetness that only comes from that much time in bale.

The 22-Year Salute, a 6″ x 52 pyramid with a tapered head.
