I saw these going cheap, so took a chance on 5.  I've never had an Asylum before, but I found the candela/maduro barber pole wrapper intriguing.  I smoked one OTT today.  Good, solid construction, and perfect burn.  It started off with tons of pepper, which quickly transitioned to a nutty flavor, with notable sweetness.  The sweet/nuttiness lasted to about the half way point, where it was replaced by dark roasted coffee/chocolate.  All in all, a very enjoyable smoke.  I wish I had grabbed more when I had the chance.
