The obvious question with Ashton is what the Cabinet Selection gives you over the Classic. The answer is time — these use vintage Dominican tobacco aged considerably longer before rolling.
That ageing shows in the smoothness. Cedar, cream and a quiet sweetness, with none of the roughness that even good young tobacco carries. Sizes include a No. 3 perfecto and a 6.4-inch pyramid.
