Privada Storytelling

The Ashton 10-Cigar Sampler is more than a tasting—it’s a masterclass. A journey across Ashton’s celebrated lines, this collection showcases the elegance of Dominican craftsmanship guided by Fuente mastery. From the creamy balance of the Classic to the commanding spice of the VSG, every stick is a chapter in Ashton’s legacy of restraint and precision. In Privada, we see samplers not as starters, but as sagas—and this one reads like a seasoned novel you return to again and again.

Flavor Journey

The journey begins with the Ashton Classic, delivering creamy almond, buttery cedar, and delicate white pepper in a smooth, approachable opening. Transitioning into the Cabinet Selection, a soft swell of baking spice and honeyed oak adds elegance and depth. The Aged Maduro follows, unfolding rich layers of molasses, cocoa, and raisin, with a gentle espresso undertone that lingers on the finish. Next, the Heritage Puro Sol brings a burst of sun-grown brightness—cinnamon and dark cherry meeting toasted wood in a balanced crescendo. Finally, the VSG takes center stage, wrapping the experience in bold leather, dark chocolate, and concentrated Dominican spice, delivering a powerful yet refined conclusion. Together, these cigars form a curated arc of flavor evolution, structured like a symphony—each movement distinct, yet connected in harmony.

Why It Belongs in Privada

Because this is what legacy looks like when it’s lived. The Ashton 10-Cigar Sampler doesn’t just provide a lineup—it tells a story of craftsmanship, elegance, and evolution. It’s one of the few samplers that speaks fluently to the beginner and the connoisseur alike. In Privada, we prize blends that can do both: teach and transcend.
