For the first time, Asylum Cigars and Cigar Dojo have joined forces, collaborating on the limited-edition Asylum Meshugana.

With both Asylum Cigars and Cigar Dojo celebrating their milestone 10th anniversaries in 2022, it was only fitting that the two off-kilter brands join forces. The resulting cigar is Meshugana, which plays on Yiddish slang for nonsense, silliness, or craziness.

“For a long time we have wanted to do a blend with Authentic Corojo tobacco, and this new Meshugana Asylum features it in a marvelous way,” notes Eric Guttormson, owner of Cigar Dojo. “The Asylum team came up with an outstanding blend that is down-right delicious.”

It’s no secret that Cigar Dojo are outspoken advocates for Eiroa tobacco, often praising the salty, pretzel dough-like character of the family’s Authentic Corojo. These flavor descriptors became the impetus for the Meshugana cigar, with The Dojo seeking to amplify these attributes of the Eiroa family’s prized Honduran tobacco. Meshugana is, therefore, a Dojo-fied spin on the Asylum/Eiroa profile, making use of the famed Authentic Corojo wrapper and joining the leaf with the Eiroas’ Honduran tobaccos from the Jamastran Valley throughout the binder and filler. This amounts to a medium-plus strength output, medium-full flavor, and an overall medium-full body, accentuating Cigar Dojo’s penchant for salt on the lips, as well as sourdough bread, cabinet spices, clean cedar, and yes, doughy pretzel goodness…

Tom Lazuka of Asylum Cigars commented, “When Eric from Cigar Dojo contacted us about doing the 2022 release of the Cigar Dojo exclusive, we knew we had to say yes. The guys from Cigar Dojo have been great to us throughout the years, and we’ve always wanted to do this collaboration.”

For the fourth year running, Cigar Dojo offers an exclusive release for attendees of the Rocky Mountain Cigar Festival, as Meshugana will debut during a private event leading up to the festival. Additionally, the cigars will be offered to attendees of the festival itself, held on Saturday, August 27th. Finally, a separate allotment has been reserved for an online sale (through retailer Smoke Inn Cigars) that will take place on Friday, September 2nd.

The cigars have been rolled in a singular 6″ x 52 toro format, and are limited to a run of 300 bundles. Pricing is set at an MSRP of $100 per bundle.
