Asylum Cigars

Asylum represents the next step in the tobacco journey of Christian Eiroa and Tom Lazuka, launching in 2012 what has become a shift in the boutique cigar world: dynamic flavours and intricate craftsmanship – all in one affordable package.

During the cigar boom of the 1990s, Asylum co-founder Tom Lazuka was getting the cigar itch. At the time, he was a young restaurant entrepreneur, but the itch was strong. So, from there, Lazuka became a sales rep for Colibri and Camacho. During this time, he’d meet his future business partner, Christian Eiroa, already a man with numerous 90+ ratings who was then running Camacho Cigars at 26 years old after it was purchased by his family.

Camacho sold to Davidoff in 2008. Eiroa would leave the industry for a bit while Tom formed Asylum Cigars in 2012 with Kevin Baxter. Eiroa returned right around this time and the trio was complete.

Asylum Cigars did not hesitate to move in on one of the main cigar opportunities they saw left on the smoking table—ring gauges, big ones, far larger than the usual 6 x 60 industry ceiling. The Asylum brand is known for tossing out the rulebook. They’re not afraid to create bulging smokes upwards of 8 x 80.

Why not try The Asylum 13 April Fools 2023 Limited Edition Cigar? With a ring gauge of 9 x 90 it is one of the largest cigars ever to be made for commercial purposes.
