Megalophobia and Other Adventures with Tom Lazuka | Not A Cigar Show

Tom Lazuka, co-founder of Asylum Cigars, joins Fred Rewey (@Godfadr) for a deep dive into how a wild idea turned into one of the most recognizable brands in the cigar world.

They cover everything from 70-ring-gauge cigars and Detroit roots to pizza shops, travel grind, and building a brand from scratch. Tom talks about lessons from the Camacho days, working with Christian Eiroa, and what’s next for Asylum—including his first cigar to carry his name.

Watch to hear how Asylum made “size matter,” why the 7×70 changed the industry, and what Tom really smokes on the road.
