Description
The Asylum 13 Ogre 880 stands as one of the most visually iconic and physically commanding cigars in the world of premium tobacco. Measuring an extraordinary 8 inches long with an 80-ring gauge, it pushes the boundaries of craftsmanship—without sacrificing quality or complexity.
Handcrafted at Tabacos de Oriente in Honduras, the Ogre 880 features a striking barber pole design, combining dark, rich Nicaraguan Maduro with vibrant Candela wrapper leaf. This contrast not only captures attention but also enhances the smoking experience, offering a layered interplay of flavors.
Inside, a full Nicaraguan blend powers the cigar, delivering notes of earthy spice, roasted coffee, dark chocolate, herbal grassiness, and a hint of sweetness. The large format allows for a gradual build-up in strength and complexity, rewarding patient smokers with a nuanced, full-bodied experience from start to finish.
Despite its size, the construction is superb: firm throughout, with a clean burn, voluminous smoke output, and an easy, even draw. The Asylum 13 Ogre 880 is ideal for collectors, conversation starters, and seasoned enthusiasts looking to indulge in a long-form session with bold character.
