Asylum - 13 Cool Brew - 7x70 - Box of 20

The full-scale version of the Cool Brew concept. At 7 x 70, this is the largest format in CLE's cold brew-inspired line, giving the mint, chocolate, and coffee flavoring the longest possible runway to shift through its familiar arc across a genuinely extended session.

The same undisclosed Honduran base sits underneath this size as every other Cool Brew vitola: a dark wrapper, Honduran binder and filler, and a sweetened, flavored cap built to evoke a cold brew coffee experience layered with mint. At this scale, the pattern documented across the smaller sizes, an immediate mint and cream opening, a quieter, more mellow middle stretch, and a genuine increase in strength as the underlying tobacco emerges in the final third, has considerably more room to develop. Given the sheer volume of tobacco and flavoring involved, this size is packaged in a box of 20 rather than the 25-count boxes used for the Robusto, Toro, and Gordo.

This is, without question, a long commitment, easily approaching two hours at a relaxed pace. It's the size for smokers who already know they enjoy the Cool Brew concept and specifically want to spend real, extended time with it, rather than an introduction to the line. The mint and chocolate character that leads through the first half has considerably more time to sit with you before the tobacco's natural strength takes over in the back stretch, making the transition from sweet to strong feel more gradual and pronounced than in the shorter formats.

Flavor progression:

1. Opening: an immediate, sustained mint and cream character from the sweetened cap, milk chocolate joining early and lingering
2. Mid-smoke: an extended, mellow middle stretch where the mint and sweetness soften, coffee and earthy notes surfacing gradually
3. Close: a pronounced increase in strength through the final third as the underlying Honduran tobacco comes fully forward, closing out a genuinely long session
