Insidious by Asylum

W – Ecuador

B – Honduras

F – Honduras

Strength: Medium

Origin: Honduras

With an old-school sweetened cap in your choice of natural or maduro wrapper shades, Asylum’s Insidious is far less sinister than its name would suggest – in fact, it’s quite possibly the brand’s most approachable offering. Medium in body and ultra-smooth in delivery of its lush flavor profile, the Insidious gets its easygoing charm from a blend recipe of Ecuadorian wrapper leaves over fine Honduran fillers. In addition to the subtle sugary sweetness of the tip, this fantastic “anytime” smoke serves up classic earthy, nutty, and creamy full flavor.
