Tombstone,

The Asylum 13 Fifty was tremendous. It fits in the med+ to full area, not complex or too bold. Didn't realize it was dark habano wrapper, thought it was maduro - still get mixed up with the maduro definition and appearance with some cigars. Solid flavor throughout, a little spicy.

It's the second I've had by Asylum, so they're batting 2/2 in my scorebook. I've scored others through Cigarbid for $1 on great days, $2 on bad days, and it's by far the best cigar for that pricepoint out of about 10-15 other $1-2 cigars scored. I've scored a couple Mini Coronas and a Corojo, but the minis were taken by friends, and I may still have the Corojo. All were scored at the same price.

I had the Asylum Medulla Oblongata last summer shortly after attending the Coastal Cigar Fest in Norfolk, VA. It was probably my favorite cigar amongst the 15 that came with the ticket price, and all were from various premium manufacturers. Can't remember much, but I wanted to buy more, but the local B&Ms only carry the 7×70 or bigger. Not a big sized cigar guy, so I've passed. I thought it was going to be a dud and a tough guy's cigar due to the skull and name, but boy was I mistaken.

If you haven't given the brand any attention, do yourself a favor and do so. If you like scoring cheap bids, you cannot go wrong with the 13 Fifty - haven't been on the site much since prices skyrocketed, but keep the above pricepoint in mind.

CHURCH!
