Ashton cigars have been a mainstay in the cigar world for a reason. Rolled by the Fuente family in the Dominican Republic, these cigars don’t miss. They’re smooth, they’re reliable, and they hit every time. Whether you’re after something mellow for the morning or bold enough to follow a steak dinner, Ashton’s got you covered.
At Atlantic Cigar Company, five Ashton's stand out as consistent favorites. Here’s a closer look at the top picks and what makes each one special.
1. Ashton Classic Churchill
Country of Origin: Dominican Republic
Shape: Churchill
Size: 7.50 x 52
Strength: Mild - Medium
Grade: Hand Rolled / Long Filler
Color: Colorado Claro
Binder/Filler: Dominican Republic / Dominican Republic
Wrapper Type: Connecticut Shade
The Classic Churchill is Ashton at its most easygoing. Wrapped in golden Connecticut Shade and filled with aged Dominican tobacco, it’s smooth from the first draw to the last. You’ll pick up notes of cedar, toasted nuts, and a soft touch of sweetness. It’s a perfect match for a quiet morning, a good book, or just some well-earned peace and quiet.
2. Ashton Aged Maduro #56
Country of Origin: Dominican Republic
Shape: Gordo
Size: 6 x 56
Strength: Medium
Grade: Hand Rolled / Long Filler
Color: Maduro

Wrapper Type: Connecticut Broadleaf
Some maduros come in hot. This one plays it cool. The Number 56 uses a broad, oily Connecticut wrapper to deliver smooth waves of chocolate, black coffee, and a little brown sugar on the finish. It’s not trying to blow your head off. It just wants you to relax, slow down, and enjoy something that tastes like it was made carefully. Because it was.

Don’t let the size fool you. These little cigarillos may be small, but they’ve got flavor where it counts. Wrapped in smooth Cameroon and packed into crisp white tins, Ashton Cigarillos are perfect when you're short on time and a craving for quality. They’re mild, a little sweet, and just enough to take the edge off a long day or keep you company on a short walk. Keep a tin in your glove box, your golf bag, or your desk drawer because you never know when you’ll need a quick break that actually feels like one.

These cigars are rich, full-bodied, and loaded with bold flavors like espresso, black pepper, and dark chocolate.
