"Robert Levin of Holt's Tobacconist of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania set out to create a great cigar in 1985...and he succeeded.  Ashton cigars are manufactured without compromise, blending six tobaccos:  Dominican filler and Dominican-grown, Cuban-seed binder leaves with perfect shade-grown wrapper leaves from the Connecticut Valley,  The maduro wrappers are longer-aged Connecticut Broadleaf.  The unique range of sizes includes three large perfecto-shaped cigars-tapered at both ends-in the Cabinet Selection series.

The Virgin Sun Grown series was introduced in 1999 and brings a full-bodied taste to the Ashton line.  It features an Ecuadorian-grown wrapper with extra ligero leaf in the blend for the maximum in flavor.  The all-box-pressed series is offered in elegant boxes. 24."
