Ashton has announced an extension of their classic La Aroma de Cuba line. The new line, made by Jose "Pepin" Garcia in Nicaragua, is called La Aroma de Cuba Edicion Especial. The exquisite balance is only topped by the rich complexity of the blend. The line is medium bodied and the flavors sparkle on the tongue. Handcrafted in small batch fashion by a select group of master rollers, the blend is made up of rich, well aged Nicaraguan tobaccos and finished off with a delicious Ecuadorian Cuban-seed sun grown wrapper. Five sizes of the new La Aroma de Cuba Edicion Especial are offered:
No. 1 (5 5/8 x 46)
-singles: $7.15
-box of 25: $155.00

 No. 12San Cristobal Monumento
"No cigarmaker in the world today has more buzz than Jose "Pepin" Garcia. Mainly on the strength of Tatuaje and Padilla brands, which he makes for other clients, his gutsy cigars have always graced out Top 25 list. Now Garcia has landed his largest client yet: the Levins, owners of the Ashton brand. The Levins asked Garcia to create San Cristobal in his new Nicaragua factory, and he responded with a fine, rich smoke a bit more tempered than the leathery powerhouses for which he has become famous. The brand hit the market in August, led by the huge Monumento, a visually striking 7 1/4-inch x 49-ring cigar with a slightly tapered head and a wrapper the color of semisweet chocolate. The performance is typical Garcia, with spicy notes of nutmeg balanced by sweet cherry."

No. 5
Ashton Virgin Sun Grown Torpedo
"Some cigars take quite a while to gain popularity, but the Ashton Virgin Sun Grown line was a hit even before the cigars went on sale. The Ashton brand owner Rober Levin created a stir in 1999 when he handed out VSG samples at an industry trade show. The cigars grabbed attention with their dark color and invigorated the palate with a blast of undeniable power. Blended by the Fuentes, the VSG line helped usher in the era of the strong cigar. More than seven years after their debut, they remain immensely popular among those who prefer their cigars with full flavor. The 6 1/2-inch x 55-ring Torpedo is superbly crafted, with an earthy, cedary flavor and full body."

Ashton trademarked the San Cristobal name in the 1980's and just never found the right cigar to pair with the name. That was until they teamed-up with cigar master, Jose "Pepin" Garcia. Pepin Garcia has been making some of the most sought-after cigars on the market today.
The San Cristobal is a Nicaraguan puro that features a dark, oily Nicaraguan wrapper and a rich, full-bodied smoke. Garcia used his 30 years of Cuban cigar knowledge to create a perfect balance of strength and complexity. Ashton describes the San Cristobal as possessing, "hearty notes of earth, cedar and spices accompanied by lighter notes of walnuts and dark chocolate."
San Cristobal comes 22 to a box with 6 sizes available. According to Ashton San Cristobal should be shipping to retailers in August. The first years production will total 300,000 cigars.
