Asylum 13 Oblongata Box Pressed Robusto 5/20/18

 Appearance
A milk chocolate colored wrapper with a barely visible tiny vein. The wrapper is velvety smooth. The seams are tightly wrapped. The wrapper has a very light oil sheen. The filler bunch is well packed with no apparent soft spots.

Aroma
Hay and a hint of spice on the wrapper. Hay and spice at the foot.

Prelight Draw
Earth, licorice(Good&Plenty), spice

1st
The initial draws bring notes of hay and earth with a pinch of spice. The draw is a tick on the snug side. Burn is spot on so far. Ash is salt&pepper gray and tight. Burn gets off a bit. Draw opens up. Ash holds firm till removal.

2nd
Espresso notes join the profile. Burn fully self corrects. Smoke production is at the medium range. The Spanish Paprika ramps up to dominate the profile.

Final/3rd
Flavor remains consistent into the final/3rd and right to the nub.

Overall
The Asylum 13 Oblongata Box Pressed Robusto provides an enjoyable smoking experience. A nice flavor profile with a nice draw and mildly erratic burn.
