Tasting notes

The Ashton VSG (Virgin Sun Grown) Enchantment, a Short Perfecto measuring 111.1 mm (4⅜"), greets you with a beautiful golden sheen, typical of Ecuador. Its wrapper, with a silky texture, delicately unfurls under your fingers, promising a moment of pure pleasure. The cigar exhibits flawless construction, inspiring confidence even before you touch it.

Upon your first olfactory contact, the cigar reveals notes of chocolate, molasses, and a subtle hint of dried fruits. Upon lighting, these aromas transform and complement each other with nuances of coffee and wood. The richness of the bouquet quickly reveals itself to be complex, captivating your senses from the very first puffs.

On the palate, the development of flavors is captivating. Throughout the three thirds, an aromatic harmony unfolds with a predominance of cocoa, hazelnut, and a slight leather taste in the background. Each draw offers a perfect balance between sweetness and strength, while maintaining an impressive coherence. The experience is equally satisfying for a regular smoker as it is for a novice looking to elevate their tasting level.

The sensation on the finish is characterized by a pleasant persistence, highlighted by a lovely residual sweetness. The smoke's length is classified as long, leaving a sweet and spicy memory. The balance between strength and sweetness is very good, making this Ashton VSG unique.

This cigar is ideal for an afternoon tasting, paired with a light whisky such as Caol Ila, which has a texture that matches the aromatic richness of the Enchantment. Perfect for those wishing to be introduced to premium cigars, without being overwhelmed, while remaining captivated by the experience offered.
