Asylum - 13 Split Personality - 6x54 - Box of 25

Between the quick 5x50 Robusto and the marathon 6x60 Gordo sits this Toro, giving the Split Personality's banana, caramel, and almond concept a bit more room to unfold without asking for the Gordo's nearly two-hour commitment.

The underlying formula hasn't changed: an undisclosed Honduran puro base from CLE Cigar Co., a proprietary flavoring built to evoke an actual banana split, and a sweetened cap that delivers a sugary hit on the first few draws before the fuller flavor profile settles in. At 6 x 54, this Toro sits close in ring gauge to the Robusto but adds an extra inch of length, giving the flavor journey, banana upfront, caramel and almond developing through the middle, woody Honduran tobacco notes emerging as the sweetness fades, a longer runway to play out compared to the more compressed Robusto experience.

This is still a genuine novelty release, and the same expectations apply here as elsewhere in the line: this is a flavored cigar built around a specific dessert concept, not a classic tobacco-forward Asylum smoke. Some smokers who have worked through multiple sizes in the Split Personality line specifically point to the Toro as the sweet spot, long enough to let the flavor evolve properly through distinct phases, but not so long that the sweetness risks becoming repetitive the way it can over the full Gordo session. At roughly 90 to 110 minutes, it's a substantial but not overwhelming time commitment for a cigar this unusual.

Flavor progression:

1. Opening: the sweetened cap delivers an immediate banana and sugar note, with the underlying tobacco initially dialed back
2. Mid-smoke: caramel and almond notes build and integrate more fully with the tobacco base, given the extra length to develop compared to the Robusto
3. Close: woody, earthy Honduran tobacco notes come forward as the flavoring settles, with lingering sweetness carrying through the final third
