The most expensive cigar Ashton makes, and the reason is in the size names — 20, 21, 22, 23 and 24 Year Salute, each referring to how long the Dominican tobacco was aged before rolling.
Two decades of rest produces a smoke almost nothing else can match: sweet cedar, honey, dried fruit and a finish that goes on for minutes. Made in tiny quantities each year and gone quickly.
