Ashton VSG Sorcerer... SAVE 10%

There are 12 sizes in Ashton’s Virgin Sun Grown line, and every year we smoke through a good portion of the portfolio, but in 2020, it was the Sorcerer that enchanted us the most. It’s rolled in a Churchill size and is made by the Fuentes in the Dominican Republic. The dark, oily Sumatra-seed wrapper from Ecuador enrobes a heady blend of aged Dominican tobacco. When VSG came out in 1999, it was one of the more full-bodied cigars on the market. Today, the full-bodied field is a lot more crowded, but the VSG remains remarkable for its rich character and focused flavor, especially the Sorcerer, which casts a charming spell of dark chocolate, black cherry and ground pepper from first puff to last.

Ashton is a top-3 brand in the U.S. sold in 60+ countries. Robert Levin founded it in the early '80s, having grown up in his family's Holt's Cigar Co. in Philly. He took it over in the '70s, expanding its retail and mail order presence. After years of growth, Levin created his own cigar brand.
