The VSG cigar by Ashton is a premium cigar created by two of the leading cigar families in the industry. The wrapper of the VSG is grown by the Oliva company of Ecuador and the Famous Fuente company grows the Dominican binders and filler tobaccos. You will discover several qualities of the VSG cigar that distinguish it from other premium cigars - first is the unparalleled attention with which the tobacco is selected. The cigar tobacco is chosen from 4 to 5 year-old, naturally-grown, Cuban-seed Dominican leaves, that supplies the line its title: VSG is an abbreviation for for "Virgin Sun Grown." The wrapper is just as special because it is allowed to grow slowly underneath the area's canopy of clouds. The VSG cigar's extreme sophistication is mainly because of this alliance of sunlight and clouds. Due to this extraordinary growing system, one can find a number of stogies in the Ashton VSG line that have done exceptionally well in Cigar Aficionados ratings. The Ashton VSG Torpedo, Tres Mystique, and even the VSG Wizard are all ranked above 90 by Cigar Aficionado Magazine. As you can see, VSG cigars depict a lifetime of hard work by two cigar titans. For this reason the Ashton VSG collection remains one of the top selling cigars in the world.
