Ashton VSG Corona Gorda
Ashton VSG Corona Gorda
Blended by Carlos Fuente Jr. for Ashton, the Ashton VSG Corona Gorda is one of the line’s most traditional formats, pairing the series’ darker, richer character with a slimmer 5 3/4 x 46 profile. VSG, short for Virgin Sun Grown, features an Ecuadorian Sun Grown wrapper over a Dominican binder and Dominican fillers, all handcrafted in the Dominican Republic.
This is a full-bodied cigar with the dense, savory profile that made the VSG line so influential, offering notes of cedar, earth, espresso, leather, and pepper with a natural underlying sweetness. The Corona Gorda format keeps the blend focused and expressive without overstating its size, and at 5 3/4 x 46 it generally suits an unhurried smoking pace of about 50 to 75 minutes.
For smokers drawn to fuller Dominican cigars with a deep, spicy profile and a long-established reputation, this vitola remains one of the more classic ways to enjoy the Ashton VSG blend.
