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.

oops!

Are the Ashton Cabinets of the same "strength"? Haven't had a chance to do a search of what they're like.

The Cabinets are much milder. The VSGs are full bodied, while the cabs are more light/med bodied IMO. Not a big fan of the cabs.

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.

you can have a smooth smoke that has a full body. It's like what RyJ and I were talking about in another thread. One may seperate flavor and strength.

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.
