5x50
Wrapper:
Honduran Corojo-Seed
Binder: Honduran
Filler:
Honduran
Notes:
Earthy,
nutty toast with traces of cocoa and spice toward the finish. Complex smoke from the
2nd and 3rd stage.
Asylum 13
was created by Kevin Baxter and Tom Lazuka of Miami, Florida is distributed by
Christian Eiora's Tabacaleras Unidasauthentic. Typically all the Asylum's I've
smoked were puro Nicaraguan. However, this new line features
Honduran Corojo-seed grown and rolled at the Tabacos Rancho Jamastran
factory where the Camacho lines are produced. .
The cigar is well
constructed with a sturdy cap. At first light, a little bite of spice
pops with the foot having a good even burn. This cigar's taste
profile is primarily earthy, toasty with cocoa finish. Exceptionally
smooth medium to full body with great draw and lots of smoke on the first
light, flavor becomes complex but builds up with a nice full, strong
finish at end.
I picked up
this stick fresh out the box from delivery for about five dollars at the Corona
Smokeshop in Okemos. I really enjoyed the 5x50 (which also makes the
monsterous 6x80!) - especially knowing that this new Honduran line has
completed the Asylum menu.
