“Trust your taste” is the Ashton cigars motto, and indeed cigar connoisseurs worldwide agree that the Ashton cigar range transcends decades as a absolute world-class premium cigar, made at the legendary Tabacalera A. Fuente. Ashton is handmade from only the finest aged tobaccos to create what is THE benchmark for mild Dominican taste.

As an experienced veteran of the cigar industry, Levin’s upbringing in the 1950s and 60s revolved around working in his father’s cigar shop. He took the reigns of the business in the 1970s and after several years of steady growth, Levin applied his ambition to create his own cigar brand.
Thus Ashton cigars were introduced to the market in 1985 and shortly thereafter, Levin began a collaboration with the legendary Fuente family, a partnership that brought to Ashton the Fuentes unparalleled talent, devotion, and enthusiasm for premium-grade tobaccos and second-to-none craftmanship.

For over a century, the Fuente family has adhered to uncompromising standards of taste, construction, and consistency, which has continued to draw consumers to their cigars.
