Carlito Fuente grew the wrapper leaf for Ashton Estate Sun Grown on the Chateau de la Fuente farm — a unique Dominican-grown leaf that had never appeared on any other cigar before its 2006 debut, timed to commemorate Ashton's 20th anniversary in style. A limited annual Salute edition followed each year through 2010, with only 50,000 cigars produced yearly due to the scarcity of the tobaccos involved. The full-bodied, spicy profile hit immediately — fresh cedar, cocoa, and pepper earned the debut release the number 8 Cigar of the Year ranking. Ashton ESG kept delivering: the 2014 Salute earned a 93 from Cigar Aficionado and another coveted Top 10 Cigar of the Year spot. Rich, rare, and built on award-winning pedigree, Ashton Estate Sun Grown Salute cigars belong in every serious collector's humidor. Order yours now.
