Ashton Cabinet Selection No. 7

The Ashton Cabinet Selection No. 7 is the toro of Ashton's extensively aged Connecticut Shade line. At roughly 6.2 x 52 it gives you a generous, modern format while keeping the Cabinet's signature smoothness, the result of Dominican fillers and binder aged for years and a wrapper that rests an extra year before rolling.

What it tastes like

Expect a creamy, mild-to-medium smoke with cashew, almond, coffee bean, a little white pepper, and gentle cedar. The wider ring gauge of the toro rounds everything out and delivers a cool, leisurely burn, with that polished, slightly buttery character the Cabinet line is known for. It is refined rather than powerful, all about balance and texture.

Who it is for

This is a great pick for smokers who love the larger toro size but do not want a strong cigar, and it shines as a relaxed afternoon or after-dinner smoke. The Cabinet Selection has long been a Cigar Aficionado favorite. Newer to bigger ring gauges? The cigar strength guide helps you understand why a mild blend can still feel substantial in a toro.
