Did some ordering on computer but was to lazy to get up and get my reading glasses . End result I ordered some 7x70 Asylum 867 midnight oil cigars by mistake instead of the much less massive sticks normally get . The robusto 5x52 is the largest and down to a cigarillo on low end . This feels all wrong !!! Taking practice to just puff on this . Got 10 of them so maybe time I get thru them will be use to needing both hands smoking these . Who is a fan of the 7x70 sticks ? Any helpful suggestions ?

Well, I have never had a desire to smoke a 7x70. I really don’t know what to say.

Egads - 70 ring !!! Nope. That's a bummer you got 10 too - probably saved a bundle though

Well, I have never smoked that particular cigar but to me its like drinking a soda vs a big gulp. You Just got to open your mouth wider. Take you time toasting it and lighting it and enjoy. Slow and steady wins the race unless its DogRockets hour of power challenge. That was a rough one. I have had good luck punching the cap several times if your cutter is not equiped to handle the big dawgs.

They're too big for me. I have troubles with 5-6x60 as it is, and don't have time for a 3 hour smoke sesh. Asylum makes some really good cigars, though.

I'd try offering them up in the Sell/Trade area. That; or give them away to friends; or, personally, try slicing them in half, if there aren't takers.

I did try cutting one in half but still feels like trying to suck on a cucumber !! Even had to rethink on how to hold this thing . I gave a couple away to my nephew and a friend and both plan to give it a honest road-test . Think at first they thought was a gag cigar but I told them it's a nice cigar over all just king size .

I reckon you’ve seen the Lunatic Maduro 10 x 100 at Atlantic Cigar, they have boxes too!
