Description
Ashton Aged Maduro was the second entry this iconic company produced. Founded by Robert Levin in 1985, Ashton is among the most revered premium cigar brands in the world. To begin with, all Ashton cigars are handmade in the Tabacalera A. Fuente factory in the Dominican Republic from only the finest tobaccos. Ashton continues to be a “Top 3” brand in the U.S. for more than thirty years and is sold in over 60 countries.
To begin with, The Ashton Aged Maduro contains the same vintage blend as its Classic counterpart. The big difference here is the USA grown Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper. This change produces to mild to medium bodied smoke that’s a bit more robust and richer across the board.
Cigar Aficionado describes this wonderful cigar best; “An inky, dark cigar whose every puff is sweet and dense with cocoa powder, molasses, nougat and a caramel finish.” To sum up, this Maduro is the premier companion to coffee, rum, cognac, and fine desserts.
With attention to detail, the Ashton Maduro is available in eight popular sizes. Of course, any one you pick is sure to please. If you’ve tried the Ashton Classics and haven’t tried these Maduros, what are you waiting for? Don’t be afraid of the dark!

There’s a few reasons why 90 rated Ashtons have remained in the top ten for decades. They are made by the folks at Arturo Fuente. They are insanely consistent and remain one of the benchmarks for mild to mellow taste. If you’ve smoked them you know. If you haven’t, I envy you!
Don’t let the dark, oily Connecticut broadleaf wrapper scare you off! This 92 rated beauty is still true to Ashton’s classic mild taste. This maduro edition yields a more complex flavor that’s uniquely smooth to the finish.
