Ashton ESG 20 Year Salute
Ashton ESG 20 Year Salute
Created to mark Ashton’s 20th anniversary, the Ashton ESG 20 Year Salute introduced the Estate Sun Grown line with a format that still defines the series. This Churchill-sized cigar is made in the Dominican Republic by Tabacalera A. Fuente and features an exclusive Dominican sun grown wrapper cultivated at Chateau de la Fuente, a leaf developed specifically for ESG rather than borrowed from another Ashton blend.
The 6 3/4 x 49 vitola gives this release a measured, unhurried character, with an estimated smoking time of about 75 to 100 minutes depending on pace. Expect a profile that leans rich and refined rather than aggressive, with notes often centered on cedar, baking spice, leather, earth, and a subtle natural sweetness. For smokers interested in one of Ashton’s most distinctive anniversary expressions, the 20 Year Salute remains a foundational ESG release with genuine historical importance in the brand’s portfolio.
