What size Ashton VSG is your favorite?
 

I just had the Ashton VSG Enchantment (Perfecto) (4.3"x60) size and it was wonderful :dr

Hoping someone had a size that was there favorite and why?

Want to buy a box, they where that good, maybe I should get a sample box first.

Thanks

My favorite is the Eclipse Tubo. My girlfriend bought me a handful for my birthday last year that had a nice amount of plume on them

Thanks brother, will do some homework on it :tu

Re: What size Ashton VSG is your favorite?
 

I really like the Illusion, but I have not tried all the sizes they offer so my ability to compare them is no good. I've seen samplers of these that have 5 different sizes in them.

Re: What size Ashton VSG is your favorite?
 

Yea, I ordered a sample pack to get it down, interesting how the same tobacco can be different tasting when rolled in different sizes.
Thanks

The Ashton VSG is one stick that I have tried time and time again and just can't get into. I've smoked about 7-8 of these, a few different sizes, and just can't enjoy them. :2

Re: What size Ashton VSG is your favorite?
 

So what part of the flavors and smoke is missing for you and what beats it for you?
Thanks

Re: What size Ashton VSG is your favorite?
 

I've been up and down with these. I thought it was an RG-thing. I loved the first few skinnies I'd tried. Larger RG's and perfectos left me wanting. But the last couple coronas I tried weren't getting it done, either. I highly doubt Ashton is very inconsistent -- so, either it's just me, or...perhaps there's a lot of change going on when aging and not being able to tell how old they were makes it impossible to factor in that variable.
When 'on', they are complex, spicy, biting retrohale and great big, lasting finish that leaves you chewing on the smoke/taste until the next 'puff'. When off, I get a severe 'flatness' and I get bored with them pretty quickly.

The description sounds inviting
Thanks

Re: What size Ashton VSG is your favorite?
 

I prefer whatever size VSG somebody gives me, since I can't afford to buy them. :r

Re: What size Ashton VSG is your favorite?
 

It all comes down to ratios in the blend. To get the ring gauge right for a certain size, they may use an extra half leaf of ligero or seco, which will beef up or tone down the blend respectively. Not to mention the wrapper to filler ratio changing amongst the sizes. Every cigar and person's pallatte has a sweet spot. Ie, for me the Ortega Serie D Maddies work best in the No. 20 size, a 6x60, a size I normally can't stand at all.

And to stay on topic, the Sorceror and Illusion are my two favorites. Illusions are hands down the top seller at work, with Wizard 37s not far behind(though this is the work of a handful of regulars)

Re: What size Ashton VSG is your favorite?
 

Very informative heads-up information brother, thank you very much! :tu

Re: What size Ashton VSG is your favorite?
 

Flavors? All of it...they just seem bland to me. I could name a TON of sticks that beats it FOR ME. But that is the great thing about our little hobby... what I might enjoy, someone else doesn't and vice versa. All goes back to smoke what you like, like what you smoke. :D

Re: What size Ashton VSG is your favorite?
 

I like the Enchantment as well. Wait till they get at least 5 years on them. Nummy!

Corona Gorda

Re: What size Ashton VSG is your favorite?
 

I've only had two VSGs, the Torpedo and the Belicoso #1. I prefer the latter.

Re: What size Ashton VSG is your favorite?
 

Same for me.

Re: What size Ashton VSG is your favorite?
 

The biggest one I can find/afford, on special occasions I'm always torn between one of these and a Padron 1964. As a matter of fact I think I have a lancero in the Humi, time to smoke it in honor of the late Mr. Gandolfini.

Re: What size Ashton VSG is your favorite?
 

Got all 3 you suggested thanks !
1 Ashton VSG Wizard
1 Ashton VSG Sorcerer
5 Ashton VSG Illusion

Re: What size Ashton VSG is your favorite?
 

A buddy and I were just talking about these last night, he just recently had his 1st VSG. I remember my 1st and it was an Enchantment.

I usually prefer a Torpedo/Belicoso cigar though that Enchantment just seems to hit the spot for me.

Re: What size Ashton VSG is your favorite?
 

Could you please name 3 at the top for you then?
I'm thinking they will be pepper bombs ;)

Re: What size Ashton VSG is your favorite?
 

What was interesting about the Enchantment was how long the thing smoked for it's size, credit to Ashton's quality.
Not often do I think about a cigar days later, spent another $130 last night on 1 Ashton sampler, 1 Ashton VSG Wizard, 1 Ashton VSG Sorcerer, 5 Ashton VSG Illusion

Re: What size Ashton VSG is your favorite?
 

You got it...

Re: What size Ashton VSG is your favorite?
 

I call BS on this list as there's no 601 Blues to be seen. :r

Re: What size Ashton VSG is your favorite?
 

It's #4 on the list Bear. :D

Re: What size Ashton VSG is your favorite?
 

Where can I find these, no where to be found
Viaje 2009 Holiday Blend
Tatuaje SW Reserva Maduro

Re: What size Ashton VSG is your favorite?
 

My initial perception was that it would be a quicker smoke as well. I'll take take any vitola, but look at the Enchantment 1st. This can in my head more than anything just to break away from the usual robusto or torpedo for me. I like the shape!

Enjoy ashing your recent purchase!

Re: What size Ashton VSG is your favorite?
 

Both of these were limited edition sticks so they are going to be difficult to find.

Re: What size Ashton VSG is your favorite?
 

Yea only way to get them now is the beg for one out of someone's humidor ;)

Re: What size Ashton VSG is your favorite?
 

Enchantment for me, or if I have the time, the Spellbound (7" x 54). That's a good 1.5 hour or more cigar

Re: What size Ashton VSG is your favorite?
 

I love the 4th in from the left. I'm really getting into the almost lancero sizes for some strange reason. If I want a long 90 - 120 minute burner I go with the torpedo.

Re: What size Ashton VSG is your favorite?
 

I'm with the OP on this, the Enchantment. For one, the burn line is always close to the nose, get wonderful whisps from that VSG wrapper.

Re: What size Ashton VSG is your favorite?
 

Same, Here, Mac. Not My Cup Of Tea, Even The Aged Ones. Tried One Again Several Days Ago. Meh....
