ACID 20 Connecticut Toro is all chromed-out in 20-count boxes and has an MSRP of $10.75/cigar or $258.02/box. They will be available to all premium tobacco retailers beginning at the Tobacco Plus Expo in Las Vegas from Jan. 26-28 and will ship immediately.
The ACID 20 Toro had a simple core profile most of the way and dropped down a bit in the final third as the char built up and some bitterness joined in. For non-infused smokers, I would still stay that the ACID 20 is the most approachable ACID. Other than the sweetened head, the cigar smokes as non-infused. The price is also fairly attractive.
ACID 20: “Bronxilla”, an Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade offering exclusively sold through Alliance Cigar Company. Wrapped in a creamy, smooth Connecticut Shade cover-leaf, over Indonesian binder and rich Nicaraguan filler. Each 5” x 54 Robusto is enveloped in a blinged-out chrome foil and packed in a 20 count box emblazoned with the ACID 20 logo.
In 2019, we celebrated an important milestone for Drew Estate with the global introduction of the chromed-out, smash hit, ACID 20 Anniversary. Now, by popular demand, we premier the ACID 20 Toro (6” x 50) as well as the original ACID 20 Robusto in a new Tubo presentation.
Drew Estate announces today the national release of two ACID samplers, the “ACID 7 Wonders” and “ACID Loud Sampler.” These releases will be showcased on the upcoming Freestyle Live: Special Edition
This may sound crazy, but I truly believe the infused releases to honor 20 years of ACID are some of the best new cigars released this year. The ACID 20 smoked great in terms of draw and burn, and when I was done smoking I was happy with the experience. There was no level of disappointment, but pure enjoyment. Consistent, well made, flavorful and fun.
The ACID Plush provided its normal aromas that you would expect from an ACID, but once lit, it started out average and then the flavors presented went a bit downhill. Construction was also a disappointment and didn't help things out. This would definitely not be my first choice when looking to smoke an ACID and I couldn't really recommend giving it a try.
The ACID Kuba Arte is a solid offering and a nicely infused cigar from ACID. It is probably my favorite offering ever from ACID, and it is a blend that is good, but taken to a higher level with the infusion. The infusion is not over the top, but shows some natural qualities in the smoking experience.
