Asylum PCA Exclusive 2023 Debuting This Week

For the third consecutive year, there will be an Asylum cigar that retailers will only be to purchase at the PCA Convention & Trade Show.

Like the two PCA 2023 exclusive cigars from CLE, a sister brand to Asylum, the Asylum PCA Exclusive 2023 uses tobacco from CLE’s new farm in an undisclosed South American country. That tobacco will be used for the binder and filler, while the cigar is covered by a maduro wrapper, also from an undisclosed country.

The Asylum PCA Exclusive 2023 will be offered in the same four vitolas—with the same MSRPs—as those other two PCA 2023 exclusives:

• Asylum PCA Exclusive 2023 50X5 (5 x 50) — $17 (Box of 20, $340)
• Asylum PCA Exclusive 2023 11X18 (6 1/4 x 52/60) — $18 (Box of 20, $360)
• Asylum PCA Exclusive 2023 52X6 (6 x 52) — $18 (Box of 20, $360)
• Asylum PCA Exclusive 2023 60X6 (6 x 60) — $19 (Box of 20, $380)

Similar to the CLE and Eiroa PCA Exclusive 2023, production is limited to 150 boxes per vitola. Also like those two cigars, the box lid can be used as an ashtray. All three lines are scheduled to begin shipping in mid-September.

“The Asylum brand was made for those looking for extra strength in their smoking experience,” said Christian Eiroa, co-founder of Asylum, in a press release. “This Asylum delivers and more. The combination of strength and flavor will offer a unique and satisfying smoking experience for the Asylum smoker. This unique flavor is born out of the tobacco from our new farm. The C.L.E Cigar Company will be very bullish going forward with this tobacco from our new South American farm.”

The 2023 PCA Convention & Trade Show takes place July 8-11 in Las Vegas.
