About Asylum 13 Medulla Oblongata Maduro

Released in 2017, Medulla Oblongata Maduro layers a maduro wrapper over a Honduran Corojo binder and filler and ships in both round parejos and box‑pressed sticks. The maduro leans the blend toward dark chocolate, molasses and espresso while preserving leather, black pepper and Honduran earth; the Oblongata box‑pressed examples typically read firmer and more concentrated.

Filler

Honduran Corojo filler

This is the darker sibling in the Medulla/Oblongata family: the same Corojo backbone but cloaked in San Andrés‑style maduro. The wrapper deepens the opening—molasses and dark cocoa notes arrive first—then gives way to a leathery, espresso‑forward midsection with broad earthy tones and black pepper. The release is presented in two formats (round Medulla and box‑pressed Oblongata) and strength lands in the medium to medium‑plus range. The Oblongata press tightens and concentrates the smoke, often feeling firmer and a touch more resolved than the freer‑running Medulla.
