About this cigar
The Asylum 13 Connecticut represents one of the few times a perique-forward blend finds grace in a mild wrapper. This 6x52 toro strikes an unusual balance: the Connecticut leaf delivers its expected creamy texture and subtle sweetness, but underneath runs a vein of dark tobacco spice that keeps the smoke from ever feeling delicate or thin. Perique tobacco, sourced from Saint James Parish in Louisiana, provides earthiness and a gentle black pepper finish that lingers without overwhelming. Asylum has built its name on bold blending in unconventional sizes, and this Connecticut proves the brand understands restraint when the moment calls for it. The burn is reliable, the draw accommodates a relaxed pace, and you'll find notes of toasted grain, light cocoa, and that characteristic perique nuttiness. This is an ideal everyday smoke for your lounge clientele who appreciate substance but prefer not to commit to a full-strength powerhouse. At 6x52, these perform well as afternoon offerings or post-dinner selections when guests want something longer than a robusto but shorter than a churchill. A box of 25 provides solid turnover without tying up capital, and the consistent sizing makes them approachable for newer smokers while rewarding the experienced palate.
