The best-selling infused cigar in America. Aromatic, sweet-tipped and polarising — you already know whether this is for you.
ACID is Drew Estate's original infused line, and Kuba Kuba is its flagship: a Nicaraguan cigar cured in a room full of herbs, botanicals and essential oils, with a sweetened cap. The result smells like nothing else in the humidor — floral, spicy, a little like incense — and tastes sweet, aromatic and mild-to-medium. Cigar purists hate it, and it does not care; it outsells nearly everything on this site. Judged on its own terms it is well made, burns evenly and does exactly what it says. If you like it, the Blondie is the same idea lighter and shorter, and the Cold Infusion is the same idea in a long, thin size. Store it separately from anything you do not want to taste of ACID. Genuinely — separately.
A sweet, aromatic cigar for someone who does not want to taste tobacco, and a good bonfire cigar for the same reason.
