Known for its rich and complex flavour profile, the Asylum 13 Robusto is a robust, medium-to-full-bodied Nicaraguan puro. This 5-inch, 50-ring cigar, crafted by Christian Eiroa, has a dark Nicaraguan wrapper and aged Cuban-seed long-fillers that are all grown in rich volcanic soil.

The cigar is praised for its rich, creamy smoke and slow, even burn.

A "creeping" cigar, the Asylum 13 Robusto begins with a punch before progressively softening into dark, deep tones.

First Third: Pepper and Spice. Black pepper, earth, and a strong charred wood finish dominate the instant "pepper blast" that is characteristic of Nicaraguan puros.

Second third: rich & Savoury. Heavy espresso, dark cocoa, and leather take the place of the mellowing spice. Here, the profile becomes considerably more balanced and creamier.

Last Third: Intense and Sweet. The intensity is countered by a faint sweetness of molasses or dried fruit, which ends with lingering flavours of black coffee and roasted almonds.
