As an engorged or “gordo” member (its ring gauge is 58) of the ACID Blue line, the Drew Estate ACID Deep Dish is extra sweet and aromatic, acquiring its characteristic hearty infusions of tea and succulent lilac — among other alluring scents and flavors — in dedicated curing rooms at Drew Estate’s sprawling Gran Fabrica factory in Estelí, Nicaragua.
Like tasty chocolate bars, Deep Dish smokes are rich, earthy and velvety, with a toasty sweetness, employing an Ecuadorean Sumatra-leaf wrapper to enrobe gently aged Nicaraguan binder and long-filler tobaccos. These leaves are permeated by elements of more than 100 high-quality herbal, floral and botanical essences via a top-secret, proprietary process that Drew Estate claims is known in its entirety to just four people.
Sharply box-pressed and well-balanced flavor-wise, ACID Deep Dish sticks are superbly constructed, with a medium body and medium strength, burning evenly and drawing ultra-smoothly. Smokers have reported that Deep Dish sticks offer deeper, darker tastes than the ACID Blondies, another favorite entry in the Drew Estate ACID Blue line.
Perhaps for this reason, the Deep Dish is one of the most popular ACID cigars (quite possibly also due to its size and consistency), and one of Drew Estate’s best sellers overall. It makes a great morning cigar to enjoy with coffee and friends — perfect for an easy, social, enjoyable start to your day.
