I was initially gifted on of these from Joe M, who I will never forgive for letting me become hopelessly hooked on this fine piece of cigar crack. So here is my review.
This cigar is my all time favorite cigar, I seem to never have enough of these around. I just smoked one today and I shall pass on what I thought of this little gem. First off the cigar had a beautiful dark glossy wrapper, which felt smooth and silky to the touch, the smell was fragrant, with soft earthy smell. I took this cigar out to my back deck, and lit the cigar letting it toast for a few minutes, then I inhaled the first draw, which was easy but not loose, the taste was spicy and smooth, much like a Opus, the smoke production was voluminous, and light gray, the aftertaste was pleasant. Additional flavors of creamy coffee, plus chocolate also developed as I smoked this cigar to the nub. I enjoyed this beauty with some "El Dorado" rum, which lent nicely to the smoke. If you have never had one of these and you enjoy full bodied cigars, than I can think of no other cigar to try than this. I would highly recommend this cigar to everybody who enjoys a finely crafted smoke.
My rating 4.75
Cigar Details
The VSG is blended exclusively for Ashton by Carlos Fuente Jr. using 4 to 5 year old aged Dominican tobacco taken from the finest and most fertile plants. The distinct flavor of VSG comes from its wrapper grown on a private estate in Ecuador owned by the Oliva family where this proprietary wrapper leaf is grown for the Fuente Family exclusively for Ashton VSG. The leaf is taken from the higher primings and matures slowly by sunlight filtered through the region¹s natural cloud covering.
