Let's cut straight to the chase - the ACID Kuba Kuba Maduro stands as Drew Estate's infused crown jewel. This Nicaraguan-made robusto (5"x54) packs sweet madness in a dark Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper. At $217.46 for 24 sticks, it's your gateway to flavored cigars without breaking the bank.
The cold draw slaps you with vanilla extract sweetness. Initial puffs burst with candied orange peel and honey-glazed almonds. The smoke feels thicker than regular ACIDs - dense enough to chew but never harsh. Burn line stays razor-sharp despite the sweetened cap.
Maduro characteristics emerge through the infusion: damp earth and baker's chocolate notes surface. The vanilla shifts to caramelized sugar territory. Watch for occasional tar buildup around the last inch - keep your cutter handy for a mid-smoke clip.
Espresso bitterness cuts through the sweetness for balance. The wrapper's natural tobacco flavors finally peek through the infusion curtain. Smoke time clocks about 75 minutes if you nurse it. Finish leaves lingering floral perfume on your palate (and clothes).
Born from Nicaraguan Estelí binder/filler tobacco and Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper. Drew Estate's signature botanical infusion process (exact recipe guarded like Fort Knox) happens pre-roll. The maduro fermentation adds 30-45 days extra aging compared to standard Kuba Kuba.
