I love this cigar. Thick, creamy flavor throughout! Medium to full bodied. I keep some of these in my humidor at all times, but only for myself! Highly recommended the Ashton VSG Torpedo.

This is one of the best smokes I have ever had. It is an extremely well made cigar. Great draw, solid smoke from start to finish. I always try to have a few Ashton VSG cigars in my humidor and I’m a little sad after the last one is gone.
