The Asylum 13 Connecticut is a shade‑grown Connecticut expression wrapped in silky Ecuadorian leaf over Honduran binder and fillers. It was conceived to sit below the brand's full Nicaraguan sticks while keeping enough backbone to stay interesting—think creamy sweetness with a nervy edge rather than paper‑thin mildness. The large ring gauges amplify sweetness and produce broad, even draws, delivering a smooth, generous smoke that leans sweet and spicy rather than purely floral. It's the lighter side of Asylum done with more body than a classic Connecticut‑only cigar.
