Asylum 10 11/18

If there are three words that come to mind after smoking the Asylum 10 11/18, it is good, better, and wow. I was impressed by the first sample, though maybe not quite wowed, whereas the second cigar was a bit more refined and vibrant and the third took what the blend had to offer to some impressive places. As expected from a Honduran puro, there is plenty of that terroir flavor in the profile, which is going to be a hit or miss for some palates. But if that sounds like a good base, the Asylum 10 11/18 does an impressive job building on it, with plenty of varied types of pepper, a good bit of wood, some dry wood and then creaminess and touches of sweetness. Construction and combustion are good but not quite perfect, though neither reach a point where they become true problems. Overall, a very good if not outright impressive cigar that does a solid job celebrating Asylum’s 10th anniversary.
