Ashton VSG (Virgin Sun Grown) Eclipse is a super-premium cigar crafted for aficionados who appreciate rich and full-bodied flavor. Developed by Carlos Fuente Jr. and handcrafted in the Dominican Republic, it is part of one of the most prestigious cigar lines in the world.

This is a full-strength cigar with a dense and multi-layered flavor profile, featuring distinct notes of earth, cedar, leather, espresso, and rich spices that develop gradually and lead to a long, memorable finish.

In 2014, Abdel Fernandez and his father Ismael Fernandez developed a new blend called New World, which became the company’s best-selling brand. Over the years, New World has expanded with multiple lines, including Connecticut, Cameroon, Puro Especial, and Dorado. In early 2025, AJ Fernandez announced the release of a new blend in honor of the tenth anniversary of New World, named New World Decenio (“decade” in Spanish). The blend features a dark brown San Andrés Maduro wrapper from Mexico, enclosing a Nicaraguan binder and a filler blend from Nicaragua and Honduras. Medium to full-bodied, it offers an exceptionally rich and intriguing flavor profile with notes of natural cocoa, black pepper, espresso beans, cedar, and hints of cinnamon.

Foundation Cigars El Güegüense Robusto 5 1/2 x 50

Best Cigars — Thu, 09 Nov 2023 15:50:34 +0000

El Güegüense cigars are the first line of the Foundation Cigar Company. The blend is masterfully selected by Nicholas Melillo, founder of the company. He left Drew Estate in January 2014 and nearly a year later officially announced the creation of a new Foundation Cigar Co., along with the news of his first blend. The name El Güegüense comes from the name of a satirical drama combining theater, dance and music – an expression of protest against colonial rule in Nicaragua. The box’s imagery borrows from the masks used in the performance. “Güegüense” or “huehue” in Nahuatl (an ancient Aztec language), means “wise man”. The blend is extremely interesting, consisting of two different types of Corojo 99 used for wrapper leaf (Finca Puntalito Jalapa) and binder tobacco (Finca San Jose Jalapa), and the filler is a mix of Criollo 98 and Corojo 99. All tobaccos are Nicaraguan from Jalapa and Esteli. These cigars are a true delight for the senses with a rich flavor, complex and well balanced. A dance of refined aromas, wisely aged cedar, gently mixed with spices and harmonious natural sweetness.

Cigar Aficionado rated El Güegüense 92 points in 2016.
