We got off to a great start with Christian Eiroa in the CLE booth at IPCPR 2017 when I reminded him of an advertising campaign he’d rather forget. Moving on, we take a look at the new Eiroa The First 20 Years Colorado, a cigar Christian has wanted to make his entire career thus far. […]
IPCPR 2015: Asylum
We also had a chance to catch up with the impressively-bearded Tom Lazuka about Asylum Cigars about what he brought to the trade show. He told us about the new Asylum 33, the first installment of the 33 Project which he bills as a documentary in tobacco. After that he introduced us to the Ogre […]

Asylum 13 – Sixty
This has been a rough year in the White Household. With Christmas right around the corner, I’ve been sticking to the deal sights to try and stretch by cigar budget as much as possible. Doing this doesn’t provide much variety but I’ve been able to stock my humidor with some pretty good buys. A little […]
Asylum
I am a glutton for punishment. Despite having virtually no cigar budget these days, I like to browse over to Cigar Monster once per day to check out their Monster Mashup. More often than not, I wind up closing the browser tab and texting Jerry about some great deal I came across. Last week I […]
Asylum Cigars interview with Tom Lazuka
Welcome to another interview post that I was fortunate to get with Tom Lazuka, co-founder of Asylum Cigars, when he stopped by Genuine Tobacco. I appreciate Tom taking the time to sit down and have some fun on camera. Asylum Cigars has three labels right now, Asylum, Asylum 13 (I reviewed the 7×70) and the […]
Christian Eiroa at Genuine Tobacco
I had a chance to sit down with Christian Eiroa at Genuine Tobacco before the start of the Asylum/CLE event. I seem to be a tree stump but Christian does a great job explaining everything and giving a ton of useful information. He also talks about some upcoming projects which sound interesting. Without further ado, […]
