What happens when you bring back to life one of the rarest tobacco seeds in the world? If you're the Eiroa family, you combine it with your prized Corojo tobacco and offer cigar fanatics a smoking experience they'll never forget!
The cigar at hand is dubbed Asylum Sensorium, and its signature ingredient is a rare tobacco known as Pinareño (a word used to refer to something/someone from Cuba's famed Pinar del Río tobacco-growing region). This unique seed was last grown by the Eiroa family in the late '70s, but had to be shelved due to its susceptibility to disease and mold. Eschewing the difficulties, the Eiroas planted the Pinareño seed once more, bringing to life this vintage tobacco to create the super-premium Asylum Sensorium cigar.
What does the Asylum Sensorium 11/18 cigar taste like?
Combining the Pinareño tobacco with the Eiroas' famed Honduran Authentic Corojo, the Sensorium cigar is something that has to be experienced first-hand to comprehend. In the 11/18 size, the cigars feature Christian Eiroa's signature 6" x 48 x 52 x 48 figurado format. This is a legendary size that dates back to Christian's days with Camacho. The size is known for its many expansions/contractions, allowing the cigar to evolve noticeably as it burns through the many transitions. Cigar enthusiasts can expect a medium-plus body, lingering long on the palate with notes of earth, black pepper, cinnamon pretzel, molasses bread, and brown sugar sweetness through the finish.
