Ashton was founded in 1983 by Bill Ashton-Taylor and R. D. Field. Initially the portfolio included only pipes, later cigars and also pipe tobacco.
In 1985, Robert Levin coined the name of the premium manufacturer when he launched the first Ashton cigar on the market. With VSG (Virgin Sun Grown) in 1999, he brought out the first cigar with a full-bodied and medium-bodied composition, which was groundbreaking for the industry. The business cooperation with the Fuente family is largely responsible for the success of Ashton cigars. These are still rolled by hand in the Fuente factory today.
For the brands „La Aroma del Caribe“ and „Paradiso“, Levin brought another big name into the collaboration, the Garcia family.
The Ashton VSG (Virgin Sun Grown) is produced by A. Fuente y Cia for Ashton. This robust blend features a dark, oily Sumatran seed wrapper from Ecuador. This wrapper, grown in the foothills of the Andes, is intensively fermented to extract the oils. The result is an explosion of power and rich flavor. Upon its launch in 1999, the VSG set the standard for bold cigars and remains prized for its focused character.
