    My first 7x70

    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.
    Enjoy and care for your parents, once they are gone you become an orphan!

    Egads - 70 ring !!! Nope. That's a bummer you got 10 too - probably saved a bundle though
    No cigar until you get a par - birdie if it's a scramble !

    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.
    @Tombstone is our resident "big boy" cigar expert. His motto is "If it's less than 7x70, you may as well wear a dress, doll yourself up, and call yourself Susan while you smoke your 'cigar'". One of these days I'll be rolling with him and the big dawgs; until then...the Susans.

    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!
