Ashton ESG 23 Year Salute
Ashton ESG 23 Year Salute
Released as one of the later expressions in Ashton’s Estate Sun Grown series, the Ashton ESG 23 Year Salute pairs the line’s rare sun-grown Dominican wrapper from Chateau de la Fuente with the polished construction long associated with the Fuente factory. It is a substantial 6 1/4 x 52 vitola, giving this cigar a composed, unhurried character that suits the blend’s richer profile without making size the whole story.
Expect a medium to full-bodied smoke built around earth, leather, warm spice, and pepper, with a creamy undercurrent and touches of cocoa and cinnamon adding refinement rather than sweetness. The 23 Year Salute is best approached as a special-occasion cigar, not because of flashy presentation, but because the blend’s scarcity and depth reward a slower pace; most smokers can expect about 75 to 100 minutes of smoking time.
Within the ESG lineup, this release stands out for combining the series’ signature strength and rare wrapper pedigree with a broad-gauge format that lets its savory, layered profile settle in naturally. For smokers who appreciate Ashton’s fuller side and want one of the brand’s more limited, conversation-worthy offerings, this is a cigar with real presence.
