Ashton: Masterpieces of Cigars and Cigarillos
In 1985, the American Robert Levin coined the name Ashton when he introduced the first Ashton Cigars to the market. A passionate cigar enthusiast with a strong business acumen created a brand that today ranks among the leading premium manufacturers in the cigar industry. Alongside classics like Dunhill and Santa Damiana, Ashton enjoys worldwide recognition. Ashton cigars are associated not only with enjoyment but also with a statement of elegance and quality.
A Groundbreaking Creation
In 1999, Levin launched the groundbreaking VSG (Virgin Sun Grown) – a full-bodied, medium-strength cigar that revolutionized the industry. The unique character of this cigar is based on carefully selected rare wrappers, combined with fillers from the Dominican Republic, aged for up to five years in oak barrels.

The resulting aroma is unparalleled – a balance of complexity and elegance appreciated by cigar connoisseurs around the world. From mild to strong, Ashton offers six different lines catering to every taste. The classic Ashton Cigars are a must-have for every aficionado.
The Collaboration with Arturo Fuente
Levin's success would have been unimaginable without the collaboration with the legendary Fuente Family. Thanks to this partnership, Ashton became a bestseller shortly after the launch of its first line. Today, all Ashton cigars are crafted in the Fuente factory following the principle of "totalmente a mano." Levin later also partnered with the Garcia Family, leading to the successful launch of series such as La Aroma del Caribe and Paradiso.
Ashton Cigars: Exclusivity and Variety
The exceptional aroma of Ashton cigars is the result of years of experience and precise craftsmanship. Particularly, the Aged Maduro and Cabinet Line series stand out with their unique flavors. The rich taste – ranging from sweet to spicy – makes these cigars an indispensable indulgence.
