iquester --- I hadn't smoked one in quite awhile, so your thread prompted to seach my humidor's for one to smoke today.
I found that I had two Ashton VSG Spellbound's hidden away ... so I fired one up!
Man, what a tasty smoke it turned out to be. I'd forgotten how tasty these suckers really are ... but I am partial to sun-grown's anyway.
... and these are some of the best around!
If you get a chance to try one of the harder to get sizes in the line, I would suggest the Enchantment. It's a gorgeous, uniquely shaped perfecto. It burns very well, and has a good draw. The complex smoke has notes of sweet wood, leather, nuts and black pepper, with a toasty finish, and is full bodied. Size: 4 3/8 x 60 ...
Also, the newest in the line is the Ashton VSG Tres Mystique Stick. It's their latest addition to the Ashton VSG line. Size: 4 3/8 x 44
For those who don't already know this, 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.
