After a few delays, the Asylum PCA Exclusive is finally shipping to stores.

It’s a three-size line that is made entirely of Honduran tobacco, capped off by a hybrid habano wrapper. Similar to a few other cigars released in recent years, the lid of the box can be used as an ashtray.

  • Asylum PCA Exclusive 50×5 (5 x 50) — $16 (Box of 20, $320)
  • Asylum PCA Exclusive 11/18 (6 1/4 x 52/60) — $17 (Box of 20, $340)
  • Asylum PCA Exclusive 60×6 (6 x 60) — $18 (Box of 20, $360)

While it’s not a limited edition, the line is only offered to stores who placed orders at the 2021 PCA Convention & Trade show in July.

CLE Cigar Co., which distributes Asylum, says that it received just 100 boxes this week though more are on their way.
