Drew Estate's ACID Collector Tin packs 14 petite cigars in a pocket-friendly metal case - perfect for flavor explorers. This Nicaraguan-made sampler mixes 5 C-Notes with 9 different infused blends, letting you test-drive various botanical-infused profiles. Measuring between 3"-4" with ring gauges 32-38, these cigarillos offer 15-25 minute smoking sessions ideal for coffee breaks.
The initial puffs burst with sweetened botanicals - think vanilla syrup dipped in herbal tea. C-Notes deliver immediate brown sugar notes, while other blends show floral undertones. Smoke stays thin but aromatic, with wrapper oils glistening under lighter flame.
As the burn line crosses halfway, base tobacco flavors emerge beneath the infusion. Some sticks reveal Nicaraguan pepper hidden under honey glaze, others maintain candied profiles. Smoke production doubles, requiring slower draws to prevent overheating in smaller vitolas.
Last third intensifies either pleasantly or harshly depending on blend. Sweeter varieties develop maple-like density that might cloy, while spice-forward options gain cedar sharpness. Most need purging after 20 minutes to clear resin buildup in narrow gauges.
Rolled in Estelí's Plasencia factory, these cigarillos use locally grown Nicaraguan binder/filler tobaccos. The infusion process occurs post-roll through proprietary herbal steam treatment, creating consistent flavor penetration despite small ring gauges.
