Asylum 13

Asylum 13 is the brand's heavy‑gauge workhorse: a Nicaraguan puro that leans into dense mouthfeel and straightforward dark‑tobacco signatures. Expect chewy, high‑output smoke with espresso and dark‑cocoa notes up front, an earthy, woody midsection and peppered spice on the retrohale. Strength typically sits medium‑to‑full and climbs into full in the largest or most concentrated vitolas. The line is flexible—CLE experiments with maduro wrappers, Honduran Corojo runs, box‑pressed editions and very large gauges—so you'll find both yard‑stick monsters and compact, intense expressions that share the same dark, coffee‑and‑earth DNA. Construction on most releases is reliable; a few narrow vitolas have shown tighter draws, but overall the profile is built for smokers who like direct, tobacco‑forward power rather than delicate nuance.
