Asylum 867 Auntie 5x44 - Box of 20

The narrowest of the three Auntie sizes, and the one where the dark maduro wrapper's contribution to this steeped, mellow blend stays most consistently forward per draw. At 5x44, this sits just below the 5x46 in ring gauge, a small difference on paper that shifts the balance slightly toward the wrapper across the whole smoke.

Auntie remains the gentlest tier in Asylum's three-part 867 family, built specifically as the entry point before working up to Zero's traditional sizes and Midnight Oil's full-throttle intensity. The construction here is unchanged from the rest of the tier: a genuine Honduran puro underneath a dark maduro wrapper, finished with a sweetened cap layered on top of a steeping process where the rolled cigars absorb concentrated flavored aroma before curing. Christian Eiroa developed this alongside the rest of the 867 family, originally for Deadwood Tobacco Co. in 2022 before the December 2023 national rebrand under the Asylum name.

At this slightly narrower ring gauge, the maple syrup and baking spice sweetness that defines the Auntie tier tends to arrive a touch more concentrated, with the floral and herbal undertones and hints of apple and brandy following close behind. Cream and cedar develop through the middle in the same pattern found across the tier, with pipe tobacco and spice settling into the finish as the sweetness gradually recedes. Medium body throughout, this remains the mellowest cigar Asylum makes, and the 5x44 delivers that character in the most wrapper-forward format the Auntie tier offers.

Flavor progression:

1. Opening: an immediate sweetness from the cap, maple syrup and baking spice notes arriving concentrated at this narrower ring gauge, floral and herbal undertones close behind
2. Mid-smoke: cream and cedar develop, with hints of apple and brandy threading through, the wrapper's contribution staying prominent throughout
3. Close: pipe tobacco and spice settle in, the sweetness receding gradually as the medium body carries through to the final draws
