I’ll be honest, infused cigars aren’t my favorite, but if there is someone who knows how to make it work, it’s Drew Estate. As soon as I read about the limited Acid 5, I was eager to try it. It’s called “5” because the filler tobacco is aged 5 years before it makes it into the cigar.
This is a very sexy looking cigar with its torpedo shape and Connecticut wrapper. It comes wrapped in a sexy cedar sleeve. The pre-light draw was nice, just a tad sweet with a fragrance that I couldn’t quite place.
The cigar lit up easily and burned quite even. To be quite honest, i was disappointed at first. Nothing special. After all the hype I had been expecting to be blown off of my feet. Still, I gave it a chance. Apparently this cigar’s shy, because after about 5 minutes, it came out of its shell and started to impress. It had a nice medium body and was quite mellow. It had a taste to it that I could best describe as “walnuty” which was fine by me, as I love walnuts. The wrapper was just slightly sweet. After about 10 minutes or so, I was really enjoying myself. The cigar did a good job of remaining fairly consistent throughout. My one complaint is that this bad boy burned FAST. I was expecting to get at least a solid 50 minutes out of a cigar that is 6 x 54, but it only lasted about 30 minutes.
Overall, I enjoyed this cigar a lot. I would say it didn’t quite live up to the hype, but it was pretty damn close. If smoking Drew Estate, I would definitely go Irish hops over this, but still a great cigar. Probably on e of the better infused cigars I’ve come across.
Daadaash Rating: 8/10
Bottom Line: If you want something different, you can’t go wrong with the Acid 5.
