Ashton is a cigar company that has successfully partnered with the Fuente family to create world renowned blends. Ashton calls the Cabinet brand the "White Burgundy" of its offerings, a luxurious yet complex cigar that has tobaccos of a fine vintage. Ashton Cabinet cigars are creamy smokes filled with a long filler blend of six Dominican tobaccos that have been expertly aged for four to five years and a Dominican binder, which give it a rich taste. The finishing touch is a red-tinted Connecticut-shade leaf wrapper that has been aged for one year. Ashton Cabinet cigars are not just great smokes, but they are also easy on the eye.
Ashton Cabinet has been referred to as the “White Burgundy” of cigars due to what the official website calls “an obsession with aging.” Made by the Fuente Family for Robert Levin founder of Ashton Cigars, Ashton Cabinet is a conglomeration of Dominican long fillers and binder finished off with a Connecticut Shade wrapper.
