Why MDC stocks Asylum
Asylum is the answer for a very real customer: the one who walks in and asks for the biggest, boldest thing in the case. The brand helped make giant ring gauges a serious category instead of a novelty, and the cigars back it up with real Honduran tobacco.
MDC carries 87 active Asylum SKUs across its lines. The Asylum 13 family covers far more ground than the big-ring reputation suggests - there's a smooth Connecticut, a mild Insidious, and classic 5x50s alongside the 7x70s and 8x80s. Your rep builds the mix so the shelf serves both the show-off purchase and the everyday one.
“Asylum is in our standing rotation because the accounts we serve - from casinos to cigar bars - sell through it consistently. That's the only reason a brand stays on our line card.”

Venue Fit
Which venues stock Asylum
Asylum belongs where customers smoke for the experience: casino bars, cigar lounges, and golf shops. The oversized vitolas are a natural golf-course purchase - a 7x70 lasts a full back nine - and the bold branding stands out in a retail case without staff needing to explain it. Liquor stores do well with the Corojo and Ogre in standard sizes at an accessible price. It's less of a white-tablecloth cigar; steakhouses usually carry one or two SKUs rather than the range.
The retail margin math for Asylum
MDC's active Asylum SKUs run roughly $89-$479 per box wholesale, and venues typically retail at 1.8x-2.5x wholesale. Note that many Asylum boxes pack 20-25 cigars in very large formats, so the per-stick math stays friendly even at the top of that range - big cigars support big single-stick prices.
How to build a Asylum program with MDC
The MDC approach to any brand is the same: start with a curated core rotation sized to your venue, prove sell-through, then layer in deeper SKU coverage as the account matures. For a typical hospitality account, a Asylum program begins with 2–3 vitolas across 40–60 cigars of opening depth, paired with the other brands that complement your overall humidor structure.
Because Asylum is one of the core workhorse brands in the category, it's almost always part of the MDC opening-proposal for any new account - the exact SKUs and depth vary by whether you're running a bar-led hospitality program, a dedicated cigar lounge, or a pro-shop display. Your rep builds the proposal fast once you apply, with real numbers keyed to your venue.
