Hey folks. I have enjoyed the Ashton VSG Wizard and Torpedo, but found the Enchantment a little overpowering; has anybody tried the other cigars in this line?
Also, has anybody found a source for, or tried the ESG? I have never even seen one, but would like to try to find some if it's worth it.
Thanks, MH

Best source for the ESG would be to try a local B&M and see if one of them has any. Don't be surprised if they tell you it's a one cigar to a customer limit as it is a limited production cigar.
The VSG's are a good smoke, and pretty much everyone that's tried an ESG has been disappointed in taste, construction, and burn. myself included.
Do a search under ESG or Ashton ESG and you'll see some of the talk. In my opinion, not worth the $18 that they are supposed to charge (some vendors are charging way more)

Always enjoyed VSGs. I've heard mixed reviews for the ESG, especially for the price. I did buy one at Holts when they first came out, but haven't smoke it.
In heaven there ain't no beer, that's why I drink it here.
Yes, the Cabinets are a completely different smoke, at least to my admittedly less experienced palate.
Actually, I find the VSGs smoother-- and I'm not at all sure that I'm using the term properly; "smoother" is just how I would describe it-- than the Cabinets, which I don't particularly care for.

Since when does a pretty band equal a good cigar? Do you smoke cigars or just look at them? I have smoked the ESG and i was totaly underwhelmed...for the price i'll take a Graycliff thank you very much.
