How the list was built
We kept Ashton records with a rating and a positive USD price in the September 21, 2026 catalog snapshot. The 37 cigars run from $6.00 to $21.00, with a $12.25 median. Eight are rated 4.7; none rates higher.
| Line | Cigars | Best rating | Price range |
|---|---|---|---|
| VSG (Virgin Sun Grown) | 12 | 4.7 | $7.50–$19.00 |
| Symmetry | 5 | 4.7 | $12.00–$17.75 |
| Estate Sun Grown | 5 | 4.65 | $17.50–$21.00 |
| Heritage Puro Sol | 4 | 4.7 | $8.25–$11.60 |
| Cabinet | 4 | 4.7 | $6.80–$14.45 |
| Aged Maduro | 4 | 4.6 | $6.00–$13.45 |
| Classic | 3 | 4.6 | $8.00–$12.00 |
Rank is catalog rating, then cheaper price. The best cigar from each of the seven lines goes in first. The five remaining places follow the same order. VSG appears five times and Symmetry twice. The Panetela and Aged Maduro No. 10 lead their lines at 4.6.
Prices are USD references for one cigar, mostly from historical catalog observations. They are not verified current offers. The three VSG prices checked with Neptune Cigar on September 21 are identified below; retail prices and stock can change.
Corrected VSG records and prices
VSG means Virgin Sun Grown. Older Belicoso, Robusto and Wizard listings described the same three sizes under abbreviated names. They now resolve to one listing per size. The ranking uses each retained record’s rating; it does not combine the old scores.
| Retained VSG record | Rating | USD single | Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| Belicoso No. 1 | 4.65 | $16.25 | 5.25 x 52 |
| Robusto | 4.6 | $16.00 | 5.5 x 50 |
| Wizard | 4.6 | $19.00 | 6 x 56 |
Neptune’s listings support these single-cigar prices and dimensions: Belicoso No. 1, Robusto and Wizard. The older prices below $9 no longer determine these cigars’ positions.
Ashton cigars are handmade at Tabacalera A. Fuente in the Dominican Republic, according to Ashton’s brand history. All 37 records list Dominican Republic as their origin. The Fuente list ranks that brand separately.
