Aged Connecticut

Ashton Cabinet Selection

Ashton Cabinet Selection wears a Connecticut Shade wrapper over Dominican binder and filler that the maker ages five to seven years; it’s positioned in the mild–mild‑medium strength range. Tasting notes commonly cite almond and cashew nuttiness, cream and coffee‑bean accents, and a soft white‑pepper lift, and reviewers often single out its steady combustion and consistent construction across sizes.

Flavor Profile

Almond, cashew, cream, coffee bean, white pepper

Cabinet Selection is about time and tamping down rough edges: longer fermentation and multi‑year cellar aging deepen the classic Connecticut‑shade profile into something more nutty and velvety. Smoke texture is soft and creamy, with almond and cashew up front, a creamy coffee‑bean midpalate and a light dusting of white pepper or baking spice for balance. Packs and burns tend to be even, and the line’s wide range of vitolas — from Trés Petite to long Churchills and shaped heads — lets the same restrained DNA play out with different pacing. If you like the Connecticut style but want a rounder, slightly more developed expression, Cabinet Selection delivers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Cabinet Selection is the more patient, aged Connecticut expression: the tobaccos (wrapper, binder and filler) receive additional cellar time compared with the Classic. That extra aging smooths and deepens flavors — expect nuttier, creamier midpalates (almond/cashew, cream, coffee‑bean) rather than the Classic’s brighter cedar and light cream notes.
