Asylum 13 Arabian Nights Toro Gordo 60x6

The Asylum 13 Arabian Nights Toro Gordo 60x6 is an expressive premium cigar from Honduras that consistently carries on the extravagant style of Asylum Cigars. The Arabian Nights series, launched in 2026, was created under the direction of Christian Eiroa and is inspired by the famous collection of stories, *One Thousand and One Nights*. In keeping with this, the cigar presents itself as mysterious, dark and aromatically complex. The generous format, with a length of 6 inches and a ring gauge of 60, promises a prolonged smoking experience with plenty of smoke. In terms of flavour, the series ranges from medium-bodied to full-bodied, combining dark roasted flavours with spicy and surprisingly oriental-style nuances.

Asylum 13 Arabian Nights Toro Gordo 60x6 from Honduras

Measuring around 152 mm in length and with a ring gauge of 60, the Toro Gordo is one of the more imposing formats in the range. The large diameter provides plenty of space for the blend and facilitates a comparatively cool and slow burn. The cigar is manufactured by CLE Cigar Company in Honduras. At its launch at the PCA 2026, CLE kept the exact composition of the wrapper, binder and filler under wraps. Various specialist retailers now describe the finished cigar as a Honduran puro with a dark maduro wrapper. However, a detailed breakdown of the tobacco varieties used has still not been officially published.

Dark roasted flavours meet oriental spice

The flavour profile is a perfect match for the name ‘Arabian Nights’. Initially, earthy and spicy notes emerge, accompanied by dark cocoa and coffee. As the cigar develops, notes of cedarwood, pepper and a pleasant dark sweetness are introduced. Particularly interesting are the hints of cinnamon, tea and warm baking spices described in tastings. This gives the cigar an unusual, almost oriental aroma. Mocha, leather, bread and subtle citrus nuances provide further variety and make the smoking experience complex, without losing the robust underlying structure.

A large format for a long-lasting moment of enjoyment

The ring gauge of 60 makes this variant particularly appealing to aficionados who prefer large-format cigars with a generous smoke. The wide diameter promotes a slow burn and allows the various flavour components to interact harmoniously. Despite its robust character, the Arabian Nights is described as balanced and smooth. Lovers of Maduro cigars, in particular, as well as those who favour earthy, toasty and spicy flavour profiles, are sure to find this to their liking. The Toro Gordo is therefore an exciting choice for a longer evening when a characterful cigar with a distinctive aroma is called for.
