Tasting notes

The Asylum Year 10 70/7, a creation from the Honduran brand Asylum, immediately captivates with its appearance. Its wrapper, with an oily and lustrous aspect, reveals a seductive texture, hinting at delightful surprises during the tasting. With a length of 177.8 mm (7") and a diameter of 27.8 mm (1⅛"), this cigar makes a striking impression at first glance.

Upon lighting, the first olfactory contact is a true explosion of aromas. The pre-light aromas of chocolate and hazelnut intertwine, while spicy notes gently emerge at ignition. As the draw progresses, subtle hints of cinnamon appear, offering great complexity to the blend. This richness continues throughout the tasting, promising a refined experience.

On the palate, the three thirds follow one another brilliantly. One discovers a development ranging from light woody accents to chocolatey richness, never losing coherence. The sweetness skillfully marries with the more full-bodied structure of this cigar, creating a fascinating aromatic progression. A hint of spicy specialty completes the ensemble, making each inhalation an intense moment of pleasure.

The finish offers a long finish with a pleasant sensation of sweetness on the palate. This harmony between strength and lightness contributes to a remarkable balance, making each puff unforgettable. What truly distinguishes this cigar is its versatility, capable of accompanying a variety of occasions and moments of sharing.

Ideal for an evening tasting, whether in tranquility or during a celebration, the Asylum Year 10 70/7 pairs perfectly with a sweet wine or a silky whisky, highlighting its rich and indulgent character.
