Ashton ESG (Estate Sun Grown)
”The Pinnacle of Rare Dominican Craftsmanship”
The Ashton ESG is more than just a cigar; it is a celebration of tobacco history. Blended by Carlito Fuente using a unique, sun-grown wrapper leaf from the private Chateau de la Fuente estate in the Dominican Republic—the same soil that produces the legendary OpusX—this cigar is released in very limited quantities. If you are looking for the absolute peak of complexity and refinement, the ESG is it.
The Experience
The first thing you’ll notice is the stunning, oily Dominican Sun Grown wrapper. It has a deep, reddish-hued glow that is flawless to the eye. Upon lighting, the ESG offers a perfect, effortless draw. It begins with a sophisticated “velvet” texture on the palate, evolving through layers of flavor that shift every few minutes. It is a medium-to-full-bodied masterpiece that is as smooth as silk.
Tasting Profile
Primary Flavors: Rich Cedar, Toasted Walnuts, and Graham Cracker.
The Complexity: Look for subtle notes of black cherry, molasses, and a distinct “buttery” spice that develops in the second third.
The Finish: Incredibly long and refined, leaving a sweet, earthy aroma that defines “ultra-premium” tobacco.

Owner’s Note: The ESG is what we call a “celebration smoke.” It’s for those moments when only the best will do—a promotion, a birthday, or a quiet night at the club with a glass of top-shelf cognac. Because of the rare wrapper leaf, these are often hard to keep in stock. If you see them, grab them
