Asylum Cigars has begun shipping its new line of cigar cases made for the company’s lines of extra large cigars. In theory, the cases will be able to hold cigars a large as 8 x 80 ring gauge, even though the company only makes cigars as large as 7 x 70 or 6 x 80.

Asylum gained popularity shortly after debuting in 2012 for its 7 x 70 Asylum 13, since then the company has added an even fatter 6 x 80.

While it will be eventually offered in green, red and white on black, only the yellow on black version arrived and is shipping this week. Pricing is set at $49.99.
