Asylum 13 Ogre
Asylum 13 Ogre doesn’t rush or stall; it just comes to life, breathes a little, and gives you enough smoke to know you’re in the right place. It sends up just enough scent to remind you why you lit a cigar instead of doing one more thing on your list. Nothing big happens in that opening stretch, but it quietly nudges the day a little farther away. The aroma isn’t loud, but it has that comfortable, lived-in quality that makes the space feel settled. You realize the first inch is gone before you’ve bothered to check the time.
Flavor and Character
After that first inch is gone the blend opens up and feels more sure of itself with touches of coffee, dry cocoa, and a bit of wood weaving together. It comes across relaxed, more about staying steady than chasing surprises. In the final third the smoke grows thicker and presses a little harder on the palate The finish hangs around quietly, not demanding attention but not disappearing either. After that first inch is gone the smoke thickens and carries more weight on the palate mixing gentle pepper with calm, roasted undertones. The result is a profile that feels familiar in a good way.
While you’re leaning back a little farther than before the whole thing settles into the kind of rhythm you don’t want to rush and what felt like a quick break stretches naturally into a longer sit. Without you really noticing when it happened it turns from a simple distraction into something closer to a small ritual and the cigar asks for nothing more than a little of your attention. By the time the ash has stacked once or twice the whole thing settles into the kind of rhythm you don’t want to rush and the cigar asks for nothing more than a little of your attention.
