Asylum Signature Series by Tom Lazuka

There’s a difference between a cigar the blender makes for the market, and the one he makes for himself. The Asylum Signature Series by Tom Lazuka is the latter, and now, for the first time, it’s available to you at Famous Cigars.

For years, Tom Lazuka kept this blend close to his heart. It dates back to when he was working the tobacco combinations that would go on to become Asylum Sensorium: this particular version was a cigar that almost made the cut for release – but for one reason or another, didn’t get the green light. But Lazuka couldn’t let it go, and this blend became more personal. It became his cigar. The one he traveled with, the one he handed out to friends and industry insiders. The only way you could get one of these was for Tom to hand it to you personally. He had enough raw materials to keep a stash for himself, but it was a challenge to get his hands on what he needed to produce this Signature Series in greater quantities. Now that Lazuka has finally secured the right tobacco—reportedly including some rare Colombian leaf—he’s sharing it with you, no event or special access required!

At its core, the Signature Series is built around a dark, oily Maduro wrapper and a Honduran-forward profile that lands between medium and full-bodied. The exact blend remains under wraps – it’s still Tom’s baby, after all - but all the richness and depth that allowed Tom Lazuka to make such a personal connection with this blend is clear from the first puff: pepper, cream, and rich earth right away, giving way to layers of core notes like sweet tobacco, citrus, cedar, and a trailing spice.

Too good to keep to himself any longer – enjoy Tom Lazuka’s Asylum Signature Series today at Famous, and see what the blenders blend for themselves.
