The ever-popular Drew Estate ACID Kuba Kuba spawned a sequel of sorts in the ACID Kuba Deluxe, but ACID fans came back wanting more, and Drew Estate delivered, with this mack-daddy gordo version of the Kuba Kuba — the ultra-wide-body ACID Blue Kuba Grande — which is a full six inches long, with a ring gauge of 60 (tying it with the ACID Purple Extra Ordinary Larry as the widest cigar in the ACID series).
Like the Kuba Kuba and the Kuba Deluxe, the ACID Kuba Grande is comprised of gently aged Nicaraguan binder and long-filler tobaccos, enclosed in an Ecuadorean Sumatra-leaf wrapper, producing a generously drawing, fantastically tasting, handsomely constructed cigar that generates prodigious clouds of dense, textured smoke.
Floral scents intermingle with aromas of mocha, cocoa, spices and creamy tobacco, in addition to sustained hints of tea, cloves, cinnamon and herbs, all infused from essential oils and botanicals by way of a top-secret process in the dedicated curing rooms of Drew Estate’s Gran Fabrica cigar factory in Estelí, Nicaragua.
The body is medium-to-full, the strength is medium, and the well-balanced flavors mellow to a peppery finish in the Kuba Grande.
This is a relaxing, slow-burning stick that isn’t too strong; even smokers who normally don’t choose infused cigars admit to trying — and liking — the ACID Kubas. For those who prefer them, the Kuba Grande is the best way to get the most bang for the buck, as these sticks are easily good for a 90-minute-long smoke, and then some. Order a box of the Kuba Grandes today, and drop a bunch of ACID into your humidor.
