Ashton VSG Question

GrumpyOleTroll · 10-11-2010, 04:25 PM

I have in the past picked up some of the VSGs with the round band instead of the newer scalloped band.

I have been told these are 4-5 yrs old..now I dont remember who told me so I dont know how true it is but I might be needing to sell off a few that I have and want to make sure I have the right info..

"Ashton began switching over to a modified VSG band in 2006 that eliminates the word Cabinet from the band, and makes the VSG moniker more prominent.The cigars are identical, this is just a branding change."

Which means any VSG with the old bands are at least 4 years old...

Hope that helps!

What will make the VSG's different than current VSG's also is the actual cigar shape. As Alwayslit mentioned, there are original release sticks that are actually round in shape as compared to the current box pressed ones. These were only round (hence the nickname of "rounds") for certain vitola OR's. If your sticks are round in shape that would be something to note in your sale.
