The ACID Wafe by Drew Estate stands out with its credit card-like 46x4⅛" box-pressed figurado shape, priced at $125.07 for a box of 28. This Nicaraguan-made infused cigar packs intense sweet herbal flavors into its uniquely flattened form, delivering medium strength through Connecticut Shade wrapper and proprietary botanical infusion.
The initial puffs blast through with concentrated vanilla syrup and perfumed lavender notes. The flattened shape creates dense smoke output despite its compact size, with the Connecticut wrapper showing slight toothiness.
Herbal tea characteristics emerge alongside candied citrus peel. Burn requires occasional touch-ups on the flat edges, but the Nicaraguan binder maintains structural integrity. Sweetness accumulates on the lips like flavored balm.
Honey-glazed almond notes dominate as the infusion oils concentrate. The rectangular ash holds surprisingly well for ¾ length before needing taps. Room aroma leaves lingering jasmine tea scent.
The rectangular press creates distinct burning patterns - expect faster consumption on the thin edges versus slower middle section. Cap holds securely despite unconventional shape. Box-pressing eliminates typical round cigar hand feel.
Blend combines Brazilian Mata Fina and Nicaraguan fillers under Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper. Infusion process occurs at Drew Estate's Estelí factory through proprietary botanical exposure in climate-controlled chambers. The wafer shape requires specialized pressing molds during rolling.
