Asylum - 13 Split Personality - 5x50 - Box of 25

The same banana split concept as the rest of the Split Personality line, delivered in the size most smokers will actually reach for on a regular basis. At 5 x 50, this Robusto gives you the full banana, caramel, and almond experience in a more manageable, concentrated session.

Everything about the underlying concept stays the same here: an undisclosed Honduran puro base from CLE Cigar Co., finished with a flavoring designed to evoke an actual banana split, and a sweetened cap that delivers an immediate sugary hit on the first few draws. The Robusto format, at half the ring gauge of the 6x60 Gordo, changes the pacing considerably. With less overall tobacco and flavoring volume to work through, the banana and caramel notes tend to feel more concentrated and arrive a bit faster, while the session itself wraps up in something closer to an hour to ninety minutes rather than the Gordo's nearly two-hour commitment.

This remains a genuine novelty release rather than a classic tobacco-forward Asylum smoke, and it's worth going in with that expectation. Some smokers who have tried multiple sizes in this line specifically prefer the Robusto because the shorter format keeps the sweetness from becoming repetitive the way it can over a longer smoke, while still delivering the full concept: banana up front, caramel and almond developing through the middle, and the underlying Honduran tobacco's woody, earthy character emerging more clearly as the flavoring settles in the final third.

Flavor progression:

1. Opening: the sweetened cap delivers an immediate banana and sugar note, concentrated by the smaller ring gauge
2. Mid-smoke: caramel and almond notes build quickly, integrating with the tobacco base faster than in the larger vitolas
3. Close: woody, earthy notes from the Honduran base come forward as the flavoring tapers off, ending the shorter session on a more balanced note
