About Ashton Cigars

Ashton is among the most revered premium cigar brands in the world. Ashton cigars are handmade in the legendary Tabacalera A. Fuente factory in the Dominican Republic from only the finest aged tobaccos. Ashton has been a perennial “Top 3” brand in the U.S. for more than thirty years and is sold in over 60 countries.

Brand founder Robert Levin created Ashton in the early 1980s. A highly respected veteran of the cigar industry, Levin grew up in the 1950s and ‘60s working in his father’s historic cigar shop, Holt’s Cigar Company, in Philadelphia. He took the business over in the 1970s, successfully expanding its retail and mail order presence. Following years of steady growth, Levin applied his ambition to the creation of his own cigar brand. In 1985, he partnered with the Fuente family to produce the brand, due to their unequivocal talent, dedication, and passion for premium tobaccos. Carlos Fuente Sr. and his son, Carlito Fuente, had been making premium cigars of their own for generations. The Fuente family’s uncompromising standards for taste, construction, and consistency has drawn consumers to their cigars for over a century. Their ability to embrace and absorb the production of Ashton while preserving an exceptional level of quality was unquestioned.

Levin successfully expanded the Ashton portfolio to satisfy the evolving tastes of cigar lovers with the introduction of several now-iconic blends, including the original Ashton Classic, Ashton Aged Maduro, Ashton Cabinet, Ashton VSG, Ashton ESG, and more. It is a formula the company follows closely to this day, adhering to the tenets of brand building, longevity, and tradition.
