Ashton Cabinet No. 8 Cigars - Rated 94 by Cigar Aficionado
The Ashton Cabinet cigar stands proudly among the finest mild cigars in the world. Handcrafted by Tabacalera Fuente for brand owner Robert Levin, this timeless interpretation of the Connecticut-wrapped classic features a blend of six distinct, well-aged Dominican tobaccos—all matured for at least four to five years after harvest. The luxurious Connecticut Shade wrapper is even older, meticulously fermented to a deep golden hue and aged patiently until it reaches perfection in the hands of Fuente’s master rollers.
Cigar Aficionado rated the Ashton Cabinet Selection No. 8 an outstanding 94, praising its creamy texture, flawless construction, and exceptional balance of flavor and aroma.
The regal lion-and-crown band signals the elevated quality within, setting it apart from the simpler Ashtons. A delicate, earthy aroma rises from the silky wrapper, while the cold draw hints at impeccable bunching and smooth resistance. Upon lighting, waves of nutmeg, cream, and toasted nuts unfold gracefully, later joined by gentle white pepper and spice in the second half—keeping the experience engaging to the very end.
An elegant 7" x 49 Churchill, the Ashton Cabinet No. 8 is best enjoyed slowly, without strong beverages that might obscure its refined subtleties. This cigar exemplifies sophistication and restraint, making it a worthy addition to any aficionado’s humidor. Fans of Diamond Crown or Man O’ War Virtue cigars will find a similar level of nuanced enjoyment.
