Tasting notes
The Asylum Hercule Ogre 70 x 7, with its impressive dimensions of 177.8 mm in length and 27.8 mm in diameter, immediately catches the eye. The Barber Pole wrapper, combining a Habano Colorado Maduro with a Candela Double Claro, presents a delicate and slightly shiny texture. In hand, this cigar proves to be as pleasant as it is intriguing, with a soft and silky surface.
At first olfactory contact, you will be overwhelmed by a captivating aromatic blend. Pre-light, notes of sand and dry wood intertwine, evoking a freshly cut garden. The lighting reveals a floral and creamy palette, accompanied by hints of coffee, chocolate, and a subtle spice. These aromas develop steadily, promising a rich experience from the very first puffs.
On the palate, the complexity of this cigar refines over the thirds. The first reveals a Nicaraguan terroir balance, with flavors of earth, dry wood, and slightly herbal notes. The second third maintains this depth with nuances of cocoa and coffee, integrating a pleasant sweetness. Finally, the last third transforms into a true gustatory revelation, becoming creamy while retaining a touch of earth and maple, which provides a delightful development.
In the finish, expect an impressive length and a harmonious balance between strength and sweetness. The aromatic sensitivity of the Asylum Hercule Ogre makes it unique, promising a long and persistent finish, with creamy and woody sensations. Its robustness makes it perfect for those seeking an intense tasting experience.
This cigar is particularly well-suited for moments of conviviality. Whether it’s a sunny afternoon or a lively evening with friends, paired with an Erdinger non-alcoholic beer, you will be delighted by the atmosphere that this Hercule Ogre will create around you.
