The ACID Krush Classic Green Candela is your shortcut to infused cigar goodness. This Nicaraguan-made cigarillo comes in pocket-friendly tins of 50 sticks, packing a 32 ring gauge x 4" parejo shape that smokes in about 15 minutes. With its eye-popping green Candela wrapper cured to preserve chlorophyll, it delivers Drew Estate's signature flavor infusion without the time commitment of a full-sized smoke.
The cold draw serves up damp grass and vanilla extract. Initial smoke brings bright herbal sweetness - think fresh-cut hayfields with honey glaze. The Candela wrapper shines here with distinct vegetal notes, while the infusion adds candy apple undertones.
At the halfway point, vanilla creaminess balances the grassy core. You'll notice faint chamomile tea notes and a cooling sensation reminiscent of menthol toothpaste (without the mint burn). Smoke output stays modest, perfect for discreet patio sessions.
The last inch intensifies sweetness into maple syrup territory. Some smokers report slight tongue tingle from sugary buildup. Burn stays even throughout, though the thin format means rapid nicotine delivery - finish before you feel headspin.
That vibrant green wrap isn't food coloring - it's Connecticut seed tobacco heat-cured to lock in chlorophyll. While traditional cigar makers abandoned Candela in the 70s, Drew Estate resurrected it for modern infused blends. The process creates thinner, more fragile leaves that contribute grassy notes without bitter aftertaste.
