About this cigar
The Asylum brand has built its reputation on bold, unapologetic blends that refuse compromise, and the Ogre is perhaps the most unrestrained expression of that philosophy. At 8x80, this is a cigar that announces itself the moment it leaves the box: a thick, stocky vitola that carries serious heft and demands serious time. The blend layers Nicaraguan, Dominican, and Brazilian tobaccos beneath a dark, oily Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper that promises earthiness and a hint of cocoa sweetness as you settle in. Expect a full-bodied smoke with notes of leather, dark chocolate, and subtle spice that build gradually across the two-plus hour journey. The Ogre's construction is dense and deliberate, favoring a slower burn that rewards patient smokers. This is not a cigar for a quick break; it's an end-of-day reflection piece, something to enjoy after a steakhouse dinner or during a long evening with like-minded aficionados. For lounges and retailers stocking premium, no-nonsense smokes, the Ogre fills an important niche. Customers seeking size, character, and serious smoke time will return for this one repeatedly. The unit of 20 allows you to stock confidently without overcommitting to a single box.
