Anyone else think this sounds like a good name for a line of cigars??? Any chance this could happen?? Maybe CFO of GDw cigars. Just curious.

I think we could do it. Like for example work something out with Rob at taboo and he could hook us up with a factory and such

What kind of cigar or would there be a several types? The name says a lot and I'd love to see a cigar sell with this name on it.

I'll chip in $5 bucks toward development...It's all got right now...


Seriously though, not only is it a great name, but cigars designed by a true brotherhood...wow...talk about some serious stuff.

There would be like smoking pure honor, liberty, and fraternity.

Not sure the human body could take it...

Plus, we'd all get a cut, right? :lv

Gotta be something crazy though. How about candela wrapper around triple ligero binder and filler tied in a knot?

If they're a success, we could set up a retail business.

What do you think of BOOYAH as a name?

:D

We could us a straight Jacket for the band??

I'd buy a few Asylum Cigars. We could do a poll for size and flavour profile (leaf types). I'd say, keep it simple starting out. One model only based on the most popular design.

I like the straight jacket band idea. At least a cool graphic like that on the band.

If it turns into a success, we could then release other versions or special editions.

Do we have enough real interest for this?

Listen folks, while we are all flattered that you want cigars with the Asylum name on it, it will happen when the Team of 11 agrees that the time is right. I am asking you to be patient and we will see what happens.
Once again, the seed has been planted and we hear you, but right now is not the time.

LOL you guys are crazy!!!!

Keep in mind guys that development on a new cigar and blend etc etc can take anywhere from 1 to 2 years before you actually see a finished product (sometimes longer) so while the idea is cool, it'd be awhile before we saw any available for sale

Problem with a brand new cigar/blend is that it requires a substantial amount of time to develop and get the blend right. 1-2 years minimum. Consider that and the SUBSTANTIAL amount of money you'd have to put down first and its an idea that would become a HUGE project.

Now if you're talking about adding a second band to an existing line of cigars that's not as hard..unless of course you're talking about Habanos in which case "officially" its a no go since we are a board based in America.

Yep 500 boxes would be the minimum but you have to remember the group that did that was based in Europe.

And besides "Club Epicur" is already taken :r

The real issue IMO would be making a cigar not only the TOE would be happy with but the majority of the CA board would be happy with.

I have to say as a group we all have fairly high standards. A rush job to get something out would not live up to standards :2
