ACID cigars, a premium flavor!

ACID cigars were conceived by Drew Estates as a response to the popularity of the inferior flavored cigars that are widely available and inexplicably popular in the US. If you visit your local gas station or convenience store, you’ll find a dizzying array of flavored smokes that will rival any fruit salad. Berries, fruits, honey and herbs are all common flavors.
However, these gas station cigars all have one thing in common: they are cheap and machine made cigars, with inferior tobaccos and impregnated with artificial flavors. Even if you enjoy the novelty of the exotic flavors, you’re certain to find the entire experience significantly lacking when compared to a slightly more premium cigar.
However, the popularity of these cigars got the guy at Drew Estates thinking. If there is such a popularity and cult appeal for these flavored cigars, surely there would be a demand in the market for an all natural, handmade cigar range, deeply infused with a range of natural flavors. Thus, the ACID cigar range was born. But are ACID cigars cheap? Well, the answer to that is yes. They aren’t quite as cheap as the aforementioned inferior products, but they are well within the budget of any smoker who chooses to be slightly more discerning about his exotic flavored cigars, especially if you are buying cigars online.
Unlike the gas station flavored cigars that you’re more familiar with, ACID cigars are a premium cigar range that doesn’t include vivid fruit flavors like blueberry, strawberry and apple. Instead they are more subtly flavored with a complex infusion of up to 140 essential oils and natural botanicals. This creates a vastly preferable and more sophisticated flavor profile than the more conventional flavored cigars you might have smoked. The exact composition of each flavor blend differs in each of the cigars in the range, but each of them has a sophisticated depth of flavor that is intensely satisfying.
Due to their sophistication and complexity, the flavors aren’t easy to either define or describe. Drew Estates hss given them non-descriptive names, and the only way to truly know the taste of these premium cigars is to smoke them. Each of them are delicious in their own way though, and it isn’t too much heartache to try each and every variety to find your favourite!
The most popular variety of ACID cigar is the Blondie. Like the others, the flavor is subtle. While initially sweet, the cigar becomes spicier the longer it is smoked. There are hints of cedar, a spicy ginger and even a hint of clove in the background. Just before the end, the flavors of caramel and wood dominate. The flavour is reminiscent of a Flor de Oliva, or even some of the Griffin Cigars range. The intricate alignment of flavors makes for a great experience.
All of the ACID cigars range is manufactured at their own facility in Esteli, Nicaragua. Each ACID cigar is hand rolled with an exceptional craftsmanship to ensure a smooth, even burn all the way through the cigar.
