Ashton VSG
Have a general question/poll if you will.

I have never had an Ashton, I know they are highly regarded, but I am on a newborn budget.

I was offered a 5 Ashton VSG Belicoso and a Xikar cutter for 65 bucks?

Deal or No Deal?

Currently using a cheap but servicable cutter

Thanks!
Steve

Re: Ashton VSG
Was that 5 Ashton VSG's? If so that is a great deal.

The cutter retails at $40.00 and the cigars retail at around $12.00 each so it is a good deal.

Re: Ashton VSG
Well VSG's are around 12$ at my B&M, and cheaper xikar is like 30$. But it depends if you really need cutter! They are great, sharp like a razor blade, every cut is excellent, and a life time warranty! if you need it take it in that case it's a deal! Check what your local B&M charges for same size VSG's!

Thanks for all the great info, unfortunately Im on the road for a while, I travel a LOT for work and cannot find a B&M nearby but I will check when I go home. I might have to find the scratch to get it though!


Really what kind did you get? I have a DSLR I bought when my son was born he just turned 5 and I've had an itching to get a new one but really don't have the money right now, plus mine still works!

Re: Ashton VSG
The VSG's are fantastic cigars, & the cutter is very nice too. I use an Xi2 daily. Great Deal IMO.
