C.L.E. Cigar Company has disclosed that the highly anticipated Asylum 867 will be introduced at next month’s Premium Cigar Association trade show in Las Vegas. Formerly known as Deadwood Tobacco Co. Chasing the Dragon, this new release signifies Asylum’s commitment to pushing boundaries in the world of cigars in a way that does not violate any of the rights Drew Estate holds to cigars bearing the name Deadwood. The unique aspect of this blend lies in the collaboration between Asylum, Wild Bill Rectenwald and his team at Deadwood Tobacco Company and Cigar Bar in Deadwood, South Dakota.
Wild Bill Rectenwald, renowned for his love of guns, motorcycles, and the cigar culture he has helped to foster in South Dakota, has created a reputation for being one of the best stops you can make along your cigar journey. With this reputation in mind, Tom Lazuka, the VP of Sales for C.L.E. Cigar Company and co-founder of Asylum Cigars, saw great potential in joining forces with Wild Bill. The result of this collaboration is the Asylum 867, offering an aromatic smoking experience with the use of exotic tobacco.
Christian Eiroa, the Founder and President of C.L.E. Cigar Company, expressed his enthusiasm for the project, gleefully confirming that Tom Lazuka’s admiration for Wild Bill and his team sparked the idea for this unique collaboration. Eiroa immediately recognized the creativity and potential that the partnership could bring to the Asylum brand. The Asylum 867 series offers three distinct blends: Aunti, Midnight Oil, and Zero, all presented in 20-count boxes. With size options like Corona, Petite Corona, Lancero, The 54, The 60, The 70, Robusto, Toro, and Churchill, the Asylum 867 series caters to a wide range of enthusiast’s preferences. Prices will range from $9.50 to $14.00 each, depending on the size and blend chosen.
