Asylum

Since 2020, the Asylum Anniversary Series has been offered in 11/18 and 7 x 70 vitolas. This year marks the first time that the cigars will come in tubos instead of coffins.

It’s the second straight year that Asylum has brought a Chinese zodiac calendar theme to its April Fools’ limited edition.

The company also created the unique, 100-count boxes for the release.

Two different cigars, one very large box.

Three lines, four vitolas, and 100-count boxes.

For the sixth consecutive year, the Asylum Anniversary Series is offered in 11/18 and 7 x 70 sizes. This year’s Asylum 12 features a new blend and, for the series’ first time, cigars in tubos.

The massive 9 x 90 cigar now comes in red tubos.

Asylum is no stranger to putting two different cigars in the same box. Serenity Now is the Connecticut cigar while Insanity Later uses a darker habano leaf.

The cigars formerly known as “Deadwood Tobacco Co. Chasing the Dragon” are returning to stores with new names and new looks.

It joins the Eiroa PCA Exclusive 2023, which also began shipping to stores this week.

The new line is made with a tobacco called Pinareño, a Cuban-seed tobacco not normally grown by the Eiroa family due in large part to its susceptibility to disease and the difficulty that comes with cultivating it.
