Description
Ashton Cabinet Selection is one of the most exclusive entries this iconic company produces. 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 glistening, chestnut-hued Connecticut Shade wrapper cloaks a luscious blend of premium Dominican tobaccos matured for five to seven years. This expertly made mild to medium bodied masterpiece yields pronounced flavor notes of Almond, Cashew, Cream, Coffee Bean, White Pepper.
With this in mind, Cigar Aficionado described these terrific smokes best, “This well-made cigar is oily and golden. It’s mild and light, with hints of cinnamon and nutmeg and a touch of sweet fruit and a slightly tangy finish.”
To sum up, Ashton Cabinet Selection is produced in 12 popular sizes and unique shapes with attention to detail. From the Petit Corona up the the giant #1 Perfecto [9×52], any one you choose is a top pick.

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!
The Cabinet Selection edition amped up the flavor to a medium bodied smoke retaining the silky smoothness that Ashton is known for. The Dominican fillers used in these great sticks are aged between four and five years along with aging the Connecticut wrapper for a year. This expertly made beauty draws perfectly, burns evenly and delivers more of what the classic series offers.
