Ashton Half Corona

The line that launched Ashton in 1985, wrapped in true Connecticut-grown shade leaf — genuinely grown in Connecticut, not the more common Ecuadorian-seed substitute most brands use. Dominican long-fillers underneath give a smooth, velvety profile of cedar, cashew, coffee, and almond with a touch of spice; also sold in small-cigar and cigarillo formats under the brand's own name.
