Gentleman,

Ashton is indeed unveiling the Ashton Estate Sun Grown (ESG) at this year's RTDA show. The ESG is completely new and unique cigar, different than all the other Ashton lines, and different than anything else currently sold in the marketplace. It features a beautiful sun-grown wrapper from Chateau de la Fuente that has never before been used another cigar. I had the pleasure of smoking a sample in the Dominican Republic, and all I can say is that it is outstanding. Carlito, like always did an unbelievable job blending this bad boy. The first size of ESG (6.75 x 49) will hit retail stores in November/December.

Best Regards to all,

Sathya

They are going to come out with a new size every year, so for the first year, 6 3/4" x 49 is it.

It should be noted that these are different from the one-time release Ashton VSG ERs (ER = Estate Reserve)

Andrew, won't these be exactly like the ER's except without the age?
