The Asylum 13 Fifty was great. I'm into stronger cigars, and this was well within what I'd consider med/full. Nice flavor, not super bold or complex, but one of the best I've had from Cigarbid. I'd definitely buy more, especially if Cigarbid pricing drops back down to my liking. I was able to score multiple Asylum types for $1 up till about a year ago.

I had the Medulla Oblongata (robustish, cant remember exact size), and it was probably the best cigar I got from the Coastal Cigar Fest, which I was given 15 cigars from multiple manufacturers as part of the ticket price. I wanted to buy more, but the local B&Ms only carries the huge 7×70 or bigger, and I'm not a big sized cigar guy.

If you haven't had anything by Asylum, please give them some attention, because last night's cigar has reaffirmed my interest in the brand, and has put them back on my radar and higher on my must buy list. Don't let the wrapper and name fool you, like it almost did me. My mantra since is: Don't judge the book by the cover, unless you're willing to smoke it and affirm your judgement by trial by smoke.

CHURCH!
