C.L.E. To Enter New Price Point With $60 Asylum Cigar
Seeing how there’s no shortage of expensive cigars from Cuba, Nicaragua or the Dominican Republic these days, Asylum Sensorium will ship to retailers next week and it comes in two sizes: one retailing for $50 each and the other for $60. Both are made in Honduras by C.L.E. and composed entirely of Honduran tobacco.
According to grown for decades by the Eiroa family in the Jamastran Valley.
The Asylum Sensorium Asen 18 is made in the 11/18 size, a bulging figurado made popular by the Eiroas when they owned the Camacho brand. It measures 6 inches by 52 ring gauge at its fattest point, with a $50 price tag. At 6 by 60, the Asen 60 has a suggested retail price of $60. Both come in individual coffins and are packaged in boxes of 20. Production will be limited to an annual run of 10,000 cigars per size.
C.L.E. describes the Asylum brand as the “alter ego” of the company, allowing Eiroa to “experiment with out-of-the-box ideas that break tradition.”
