Ashton
  Ashton Cigars are the result of a worldwide search to produce
the finest product possible.  From the Dominican Republic's lush fields in the
Villa Gonsales region to the Connecticut Valley's Filtered sunlight, only the
finest tobaccos are used.


    These tobaccos age and ferment for a two-three year period
concluding with a painstaking inspection of every leaf.  There, four different
prized tobaccos are hand-blended for the filler, hand-bunched with the finest
cuban seed binder and finally hand-roller with the Chestnut colored
Connecticut Shade Wrapper.  Three to four years have passed from growth to
packing to insure the quality at every step.


Balmoral
A rich history of taste since 1895. Handmade in the Domincan Republic using only the finest of aged tobaccos to give this cigar a rich smooth mild bodied smoke.

CAO


CAO Handmade in Nicaragua


CAO Cameroon - Medium Bodied


CAO Extreme - Medium-Full bodied
A heavy-bodied Nicaraguan Blend with a dark
reddish Ecuador Sumatra wrapper makes the CAO Extreme a strong peppery smoke
with a dry, austere character.  A rigidly box-pressed powerhouse for those who
prefer their cigars with some bite.


CAO Maduro - Medium-Full Bodied
A rigidly box-pressed Connecticut broadleaf
maduro that begins mild with tastes of chocolate and coffe that slowly build
in depth and power with each puff.  As you near the band it has become a
robust maduro cigar with a heavy aroma and a long spicy finish.



Cohiba

Mild-Medium bodied Handmade in the Dominican
Republic



    This smooth cigar is balanced with Dominican
long filler and a Mexican binder finished off with a rich African Cameroon
wrapper for an expensive taste.

Cusano

Cusano


Handmade in Dominican Republic


 


Cusano 18


Cusano 18's were rated a 91 by Cigar Aficionado Insider!


    Rich, Creamy and packed with Flavor, the Cusano 18's filler
is comprised of Dominican Oro (gold) which has been aging since it was
harvested eighteen years ago in 1985. To highlight the extrodinairy flavors of
this rare filler, we have chosen both a rich Cuban Piloto and a mouth-watering
Olor from the San Vicente, region of the Dominican Republic. A Connecticut
Shade leaf is then used as the binder which complements the 18's complex
filler blend. To finish the composition, we selected a second medium-tone,
very flavorful Connecticut Shade wrapper which further amplifies the 18's
already rich, creamy flavor.

    The incredible volume of flavor produced by this unique combination of
filler tobacco, combined with our Double Connecticut Shade wrapper, offers a
mouth-watering, richness and a creamy finish never before experienced in a
mild to medium bodied cigar. Enjoy. 


Cusano Corojo '97


Cusano Corojo's were rated a 91 by Cigar Aficionado Insider!


    This dark and spicy corojo has a smooth, silky texture and
a perfect cap. It has a fine toasty aroma. Flavors are great from the start,
smacking of wood and leather. It's steady and rich, leading to a smooth,
cedary finish. Body is medium to full. The spicy Mexican Sumatra binder
compliments the 1997 wrapper's sharp flavor and results in an incredibly
flavorful, spicy cigar.

Cusano Xclusivo

    Keeping the power of the underlying filler blend, we enhanced the
experience with a very rare filler leaf that stimulates the taste buds on the
side of your tongue and actually makes your mouth water as you "sip" the
cigar. This sensation gives you the feel that you are actually "drinking" the
cigar. It is one of the most fascinating cigars I have ever smoked.

    To cap it off, we use a hybrid Cuban/Connecticut Shade wrapper (same as on
the Cuban Sancho Panza line) which we double-ferment to a leathery perfection.
The wrappers' strength comes from the Cuban side and its smooth creaminess
from the Connecticut Shade, all blending together to disguise its power under
a cool, smooth, mouth-watering smoke.

    This is what the great cigars of Cuba were like.

Cusano - It's a Boy - It's a Girl - Just Married


    The Only Premium cigar
of its type for proud parents only!  It's a Boy/Girl and Just Married cigars
are a labor of love.  In 1995, while continuing our search for the best
tobacco available in the Dominican Republic, we purchased the entire crop from
a farm that produces some of the best tobacco we've ever tasted. Rather than
integrate this special tobacco into our current lines and risk changing the
blend, we developed these very cigars using only tobaccos from this special
crop.
