This cigar has been specially made and blended to be powerful, flavourful and superbly rich, made for the connoisseur that occasionally wants a kick-in-the-derriere cigar. Full bodied made from 4-5 year old aged Dominican tobaccos with a wrapper grown on a private estate in Ecuador.

The Ashton Symmetry Belicoso reveals a beautifully proportioned merger of aged tobaccos from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. The silky Ecuadorian Habano wrappers unveil an unrivaled harmony of medium to full body, power and finesse. Crisp notes of spice and oak flourish early on, and praise an irresistible emergent creaminess. Savoury nuances of leather and figs segue into a superb finish.

The Ashton Heritage Puro Sol brand combines three landmark cigar families in one delicious cigar. All Ashtons are made by the Fuente family for the Levins, and Ashton is one of the best-known names in cigars. This somewhat off the radar variety, called Puro Sol, is also the only Ashton made with Cameroon wrappers, which come from the Meerapfel familiy, the leading name in Cameroon tobacco. Cameroon is an intriguing tobacco, grown on small plots of land in Western Africa under cloudy skies, on lands so fertile that farmers must hack them clear with machetes every year. The wrapper develops natural, small bumps, known as tooth in the cigar industry, and it pairs beautifully with the Dominican tobaccos Fuente uses in this blend. The Ashton Heritage Puro Sol Belicoso No. 2 is a tidy size—less than five inches long—and it sports a ring gauge of 49, which feels slim in the hand in this world of ever-fatter cigars. The cigars are rich and beautifully balanced, with notes of leather, coffee and a chocolate sweetness.
