Asylum Cigars is no stranger to bending expectations, from its over-the-top sizes to its psych-ward naming schemes. With the Split Personality cigar, the brand takes a sharp left turn into dessert territory—serving up what might be the wildest concept yet: a cigar that tastes like a banana split! While it’s still wrapped in the brand’s asylum-white packaging and stitched together with Honduran tobacco, this release is all about indulgence, nostalgia, and a hint of madness. It’s equal parts Willy Wonka and Dr. Freud.
Built as a Honduran puro from head to foot, the Asylum 13 Split Personality cigar dials in its core recipe with tobacco grown entirely in Honduras, but the real story is what’s layered over the top. The cigar is infused to channel the flavors of a classic banana split—think banana cream, vanilla ice cream, strawberry syrup, cocoa, and even a little mint for effect. If that sounds strange for a cigar, well, it is. But there’s a weird charm to how it all comes together, like a novelty milkshake that somehow works better than it should.
What does the Asylum 13 Split Personality cigar taste like?
This 4" x 40 cigar opens with a blast of banana-candy sweetness, backed by creamy vanilla and caramelized sugar. As it settles in, you’ll find secondary notes of chocolate, strawberry, almond, and even a cooling minty note—like someone dropped a Junior Mint into your sundae. Body is mellow to medium, though the flavors are anything but subtle. Expect a short but satisfying smoke in this format, burning for around 30 to 40 minutes. It’s playful, it’s chaotic, and at times it feels like two cigars battling it out in one wrapper… but hey, that’s the whole point.
