Asylum 13 Connecticut is handcrafted at the El Aladino factory in Honduras and features a silky, golden Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper hugging a blend of Honduran long-fillers. Mild to medium-bodied, Asylum 13 Connecticut boasts a feisty flavor profile and makes its presence known from the start. This cigar is the perfect change of pace blend for full-bodied fanatics and offers up a heartier experience for those who prefer a milder cigar. The blend was created by Christian Eiroa and Tom Lazuka, using an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper over Honduran binder and filler leaves and is intended to be a milder cigar using the Asylum 13 branding, although the blend is nothing like the original. Building on Asylum's reputation for pushing boundaries with exceptionally large ring gauges, this Connecticut-wrapped offering represents a departure from the brand's typical full-strength profile while maintaining their commitment to bold, innovative cigar making. Asylum 13 Connecticut cigars are blended by Christian Eiroa and Tom Lazuka at Eiroa's El Aladino factory in Honduras. A shiny, butterscotch gold Ecuadorian Connecticut leaf covers a Honduran binder and long-fillers, and this Connecticut is ready for its closeup. The line continues Asylum's tradition of offering substantial ring gauges, with sizes offered in 5 x 50, 6 x 60 and 7 x 70. Once lit, expect billowing clouds of creamy smoke laced with cedar, pepper, and earth. Into the second third and the cedar and earth are chugging along. Heading into the last third and this mild-medium stick is all about the balance. The pepper, earth, and cedar are increasing, but none more than the other. This could easily become a daily smoke for many people who are fans of cigars that don't have a lot of strength. This is also an excellent choice if you're looking to get into the Asylum brand of cigars to see what they have to offer. The Asylum 13 Connecticut gets a big thumbs up from me for solid taste and performance.
