A proper English mixture composed of only the finest Virginia, Maryland and Burley tobaccos with a pinch of Latakia. The result is a remarkable blend that is medium-bodied and traditionally English in character.
Following the success of William Ashton-Taylors pipes, R D Levin approached the high grade pipe maker and suggested a range of Cigars and Tobacco to be made under the same name. The two struck a deal and the Ashton brand grew. This was back in 1984 and to this day these tobaccos are made to the highest quality, using the finest leaves and traditional methods, much like the Ashton pipes. In the early days the tobaccos where blended by McConnell in london for export, with the demise of McConnell as a blender saw production move to Kohlhase and Kopp.
