Worth knowing
With this imposing Gordo, Ashton already spoiled the fans of "thick things" in a time when they were not yet quite so trendy. The six-incher in the beautiful Sungrown wrapper burns for about 80 - 95 minutes.
Flavours
Master Carlito has not really "toned down" the blend for this double toro - a classic heavy evening cigar, only VERY conditionally recommended for beginners. Those who like it strong and full-bodied will be delighted with this excellent tobacco at a really fair price, because the "Wizard" exudes the magical taste of roasted nuts, best coffee, tropical woods and very dark chocolate from the first puff, underlaid with a flattering sweetness that sometimes reminds one of dried figs. Quite strong from the start, but doesn't tighten much as it progresses and retains its great creaminess until put down.

Ashton
The Dominican cigar brand Ashton will soon be celebrating its 40th anniversary, as the renowned brand was founded in 1985 by Robert Levin. The brand name was inspired by the world-famous pipe maker William Ashton Taylor. Levins' ancestors were a tobacco family from Philadelphia, so his career was actually predetermined from childhood, as his father ran the local cigar shop “Holt's Cigar Company” in the middle of the 20th century. He soon harboured the dream of founding his own cigar brand and successfully placing it on the market, which he achieved with the help of his passion for cigars and the fortunate coincidence that the Fuente family helped him with their expertise in creating the first blends for his Ashton cigars. To this day, the brand's Dominican cigar lines are made by the most skilled rollers at the Arturo Fuente factory, while the Nicaraguan lines such as Paradiso and La Aroma del Caribe are made by Don Pepin Garcia at Tabacalera My Father. The company is now run by Roberts' children Sathya and Robert Jr.
