ESG... Extra Special Good? 

Ashton ESG is one of the rarest cigars on the market, no doubt. But if you have the cash and you can get your hands on some, you're in for a truly memorable experience. Carefully crafted at the renowned Arturo Fuente factory, ESG (Estate Sun Grown) employs an extremely scarce Dominican Sun Grown wrapper - a dark and oily leaf that's grown within the Fuente Estate.

Ashton's ESG is a perfectly rolled cigar, utilizing rare and well aged tobaccos to create a unique, full-bodied profile. Notes of leather, spices, nuts, earth and wood are perfectly balanced and delivered in remarkably smooth fashion. If you can only try one cigar in the Ashton profile, flip a coin between this and VSG. Each will treat you equally well.

Ashton ESG 22-Yr Salute received a most impressive 94-point score noting: "Marvelous notes of rich graham cracker and cracked black pepper concentrate with a creamy vibrancy in a consistent, precise draw. Buttery accents of sweet cedar segue into a seductive full-bodied finale."

Ashton Estate Sun Grown (ESG)

5 - One & done. I'm gonna be harder on this review than some others, simply because the flavor profile and draw vs the price point of this stick ($23 I think i paid) do not align. First off, the draw was so tight i thought I was going to fully snip the cap clean off. I damn near used a perfect draw on it which really hampered my enjoyment. Secondly, the profile was very one note. Got a bit more spicy on the retro in the second third, but that was it. The final third feel off so much, it just wasnt enjoyable. For me, there are way better sticks for a much better price 1 - End of Days (98 -100) 2 - Buy a box (90 - 97) 3 - Buy a five-packer (74 - 89) 4 - Bargain-buy (55 - 73) 5 - One & done (35 - 54) 6 - Life is too short (15 - 34) 7 - Strait to jail (0 -14)

Don’t know if it was the sweet pairing or the cigar, but only flavor from the cigar was leather and pepper. Good burn and draw but would not smoke again because of the flavor

this was a solid cigar from Ashton. Lots of floral notes and some citrus as well with nuts. This was a pleasant cigar. It wasn’t my favorite due to my palate but I do suggest people try this cigar.

My was a bit dry. Medium-high nicotine. Nothing special, average, overrated

Very very smooth. Started out cedar and nutty, nice creamy transition to second third, hit of spice, then it just builds to the finale (which is full-bodied, molasses with the hint of cedar that was present throughout except for the transition in the middle). Excellent draw, burn line remained razor's edge perpendicular throughout, good smoke volume and the ash never dropped on its own. Definitely belongs in the upper tier. VSG seems a little rough around the edges, comparatively, but they're both very good. Worth having around for those occasions when you get to take a victory lap.

A wonderful blend with an immediate kick of black pepper. It pulled back a little on the pepper and presented creamy crackers and a touch of sweet earth and wood. The strength is definitely there and the smoke was dense and chewy. My only complaint is with the construction. I expected a little more form Ashton. The burn was terrible and required touchups throughout. The ash was brittle and held less than an inch at a time. I definitely plan to pick up a few more with hopes that they will burn better.
