Asylum Cigars is known for making big cigars. Company co-founder Tom Lazuka makes it clear, they didn’t make the 7 x 70 vitola first, but they are most certainly the first company that became known for its 7 x 70s including the Asylum 13 Seventy and the company’s barberpole Asylum 13 Ogre. While a smaller petit corona has always been offered in other lines, earlier this year the company announced it would be making a lancero in the popular Asylum 13 line, a stark contrast to its popular selling lines. It’s called 99 Problems, a 7 x 38 Asylum 13. Its name comes from a simple idea, Tom Lazuka asked Christian Eiroa how many lanceros would fit in a box of Ogres. Turns out the number was 99, and thus, 99 problems. Only 500 boxes of 99 are being produced and they began shipping to retailers nationwide last month.
