The Asylum 13 Corojo represents a bold departure from the original Asylum 13 Nicaraguan blend, showcasing authentic Honduran Corojo seed tobacco grown exclusively on Christian Eiroa's family farm in the Jamastran Valley. This full-bodied Honduran puro delivers robust flavors of earth, espresso, and cedar with a silky sweet finish and hints of citrus, while notes of cocoa and spice erupt throughout with earthy tones, espresso bean, black tobacco and subtle sweet/spicy notes.
Crafted at the renowned Tabacos Rancho Jamastran factory in Honduras where skilled artisans apply traditional rolling techniques, each cigar showcases the Eiroa family's expertise with Corojo-seed tobacco, a notoriously fickle leaf that is vulnerable to disease and yields fewer leaves per acre than newer hybrids. The thick Corojo wrapper is grown in the sultry Jamastran Valley in Honduras, creating a corojo seed wrapper that's free from vein or blemish laid overtop a mix of Honduran long-fillers for a balanced, full-flavored experience from start to finish.
True to Asylum's reputation for pushing boundaries, the Corojo line comes in ginormous sizes: 6 x 60, 6 x 70, and 6 x 80, with some sources indicating three sizes available - 660 (6" x 60), 770 (7" x 70), and 880 (8" x 80). This cigar gives you a slow, cool burn with long ashes and maintains the nice characteristic of Eiroa cigars needing very little humidor time before they are ready to smoke.
