Asylum 13 Medulla Oblongata Cigars Asylum 13 Medulla Oblongata is the brainchild of Christian Eiroa and Tom Lazaka, the Asylum brand has been a huge success for the two right out of gate. The Asylum 13 Medulla Oblongata is a Honduran puro, the entire cigar comprised of specialty grown Honduran tobaccos. The result is a medium to full-bodied taste sensation with notes of leather, earth, espresso, and spice. What makes this line interesting – or just crazy is the packaging, the box of 50 comes in 25 Medulla (round parejos) and 25 Oblongata (box-pressed cigars) – making for a great way to taste the variations of these two formats. So, try the Asylum 13 Medulla Oblongata and see for yourself why cigar smokers are going insane over the Asylum brand.
