The 3 Best Mild-Bodied Ashton Cigars
By Mariana Heredia
A mild cigar is rich and approachable because it is less likely to overwhelm your palate with a blast of spices and nicotine. This makes it the perfect place to start if you are getting into premium cigars. A disclaimer, though, the flavor of a mild cigar is as complex and rich as that of a full-bodied one. Mild in this context does not equate to blandness. Keep reading this article to find out about the best 3 Mild-Bodied Ashton Cigars.
Ashton is a brand of premium hand-rolled cigars blended by veteran cigar maker Carlito Fuente. Only the finest aged Dominican tobaccos are reserved for Ashton. There are seven lines of Ashton cigars which give room for diversity of choice. They have cigars to cater to every cigar lover’s palate. In this post, I will explore the top 3 Ashton mild cigars.
Best Ashton Mild Cigars
1. Ashton Classic
The original flagship cigar of this brand, for close to 4 decades, Ashton Classic served as the entry step to premium cigars for cigar enthusiasts. It also remains a favorite amongst seasoned cigar lovers long after establishing their palates.
It is wrapped in a golden-blond silky smooth Connecticut Shade leaf. The core is made of 3 to 5 years old Dominican grown binders and fillers. The product is a creamy and nutty work of art. The aroma is neither offensive nor overpowering. There are no sharp edges or bitterness. It is evident why they have been a force to reckon with for so long.
Strength: Mild
Country: Dominican Republic
Wrapper: Connecticut Shade
2. Ashton Cabinet Selection
The Cabinet Selection line elevates the taste, aroma, and refinement of the Ashton Classic. They are made from Dominican-grown binder and filler tobaccos aged for five to seven years minimum. The cabinet is then housed in a shining blonde Connecticut Shade wrapper leaf.
They are made in eleven popular shapes and sizes, with tasting notes of cashew, coffee, almond, and white pepper. The flavors are very subtle and soft. This line unlocks a new level of refinement and creaminess for the Ashton brand.
Strength: Mild to medium
Country: Dominican Republic
Wrapper: Connecticut Shade
3. Ashton Aged Maduro
It has a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper that is naturally aged and fermented for three years. This oily wrapper is paired with Dominican binders and long fillers. Ashton Aged Maduro is highlighted with sweet and rich flavors of dark chocolate, molasses, maple, and black pepper.
Although these are a bit closer to the medium-bodied class than the other two cigars on this list, it has a rich flavor profile that is subtle and soft, with no bitter aftertaste.
Strength: Mild to medium

If you are a seasoned cigar lover, some occasions call for a mild cigar, like sunbathing by the poolside or when you are on the golf course with the boys.
