Asylum - 13 Split Personality - 4x40 - Box of 25

The smallest vitola in the entire Split Personality line, built for the moments when you want the full banana split concept without setting aside a long block of time. At 4 x 40, this is the concentrated, quick-hit version of the same flavored experience found across the rest of the collection.

The blend underneath the flavoring is unchanged: an undisclosed Honduran puro base from CLE Cigar Co., finished with a proprietary banana, caramel, and almond flavoring and a sweetened cap that delivers a sugary hit right from the first draw. At this narrow 40 ring gauge and short four-inch length, everything about the experience moves faster than in the larger sizes. There's simply less tobacco and less flavoring volume to work through, so the banana notes tend to arrive immediately and stay prominent for most of the smoke, with caramel and almond notes layering in quickly rather than developing gradually the way they might across a longer Toro or Gordo.

This is the format for smokers who are either genuinely curious about the Split Personality concept but don't want to commit real time to it, or who already know they enjoy it and simply want a shorter, more frequent way to reach for it. At 30 to 45 minutes, it fits into an actual short break rather than requiring an afternoon set aside, making it the most practical entry point into the entire line, and also the easiest size to smoke regularly without the sweetness becoming repetitive the way it occasionally can over longer formats.

Flavor progression:

1. Opening: the sweetened cap delivers an immediate, concentrated banana and sugar note given the small ring gauge
2. Mid-smoke: caramel and almond notes layer in quickly, with less time for gradual development than in the larger sizes
3. Close: a brief window where the underlying Honduran tobacco notes surface as the flavoring tapers, ending a short, direct session
