Ashton Classic Cordial Cigars
The Ashton Classic 8-9-8 is a timeless icon of mild cigars, celebrated for its elegance, balance, and smooth complexity. Crafted during the mid-1990s cigar boom under the expert guidance of Robert Levin and the artisans at Arturo Fuente, this cigar has endured for decades thanks to its consistent quality and refined flavor. Made with premium Dominican tobaccos, carefully fermented and aged 3–4 years, and wrapped in a silky Connecticut Shade wrapper, it delivers a flawless smoking experience.
Measuring 6 1/2" x 44, each 8-9-8 features a glossy golden wrapper beneath its signature white-and-black band. Before lighting, the aromas of fresh hay and subtle peat awaken the senses, while the cold draw teases nutty and citrus notes. Upon ignition, the Connecticut wrapper produces creamy, rich smoke with mild grassy undertones, revealing a complex medley of café con leche, orange peel, almond, and vanilla. As you near the nub, soft spice and caramelized sweetness create a smooth, satisfying finish.
Praised for its refinement, the Ashton Classic 8-9-8 has earned ratings as high as 92 from Cigar Aficionado, confirming its status as a must-have humidor essential. Ideal for both beginners and experienced aficionados, this cigar delivers a rewarding, sophisticated smoking experience every time.
