All the Ashton Cabinet VSG's are excellent cigars, if you like them strong. Basically, the only difference is the Spellbound is longer and has a larger ring size (7 1/4 x 52), and therefore more expensive (MSRP~$15 each). That, and most web sites and tobacconists will limit you to a certain number (usually 2) you can purchase at a time, because they are limited in production and so hard to find. For my first one, I started with the smaller ones ... oh ... and how you doing, Frankie? Enjoy the holiday?
