Ashton ESG 21 Year Salute (FSRFEB25)

[DeeBeezy]

As I was looking to occupy my evenings now that the NFL season is over, this Ashton ESG came to fill the void. Right from the start, there was this smooth, toasty Graham cracker note that set the tone, balanced by a subtle vanilla bean sweetness that lingered just enough to keep things interesting. As it burned, a rich woodsy depth came through, adding complexity without overpowering the softer notes. I’ve always believed this is the best cigar the Fuente family makes, and this time only reinforced that. Interestingly, the strength snuck up on me—something I don’t usually find with this cigar, but it added to the experience in the best way. A cigar that feels special every time.

It carries a hefty price point and is seldom on sale, this usually prevents me from purchasing a full box. Nevertheless it is a cigar that I keep coming back to again and again.
