Drew Estate will kick of the 20th Anniversary celebration for ACID with a couple releases in Germany. ACID Mega and ACID Blondie will be distributed in Germany for Drew Estate by Royal AGIO. ACID launched 20 years ago, and became best selling brand in the United States.
In mid 2018, Drew Estate announced the the line called Factory Smokes. They were brought to market as a budget-centric offering that align with the Undercrown family of cigars. A Maduro, CT Shade, and Sun Grown wrapper made up three of the four Factory Smokes, wit the fourth being the 'Sweet' which has a Habano wrapper and sweetened head. I purchased a handful of the Maduro version a few weeks ago, and decided to give it the HBTC review treatment.
Yesterday, Drew Estate announced their seasonal release of the Flying Pig vitolas. The Flying Pig is one of the most popular vitolas in the Drew Estate catalog. The 100mm x 60 ring gauge vitola is a favorite amongst cigar enthusiasts around the world. The Flying Pig shape is based on an old photograph of an 1895 cigar salesman’s case. The vitola is extremely complicated to manufacture because of the unique size and the pigtail cap.
The Herrera Esteli Miami from Drew Estate will soon ship to Drew Diplomat Retailers across the United STates. The Herrera Esteli Miami is made by hand at the renowned El Titan de Bronze factory in Little Havana. The entire line is rolled with an Ecuadorian Habano Oscuro wrapper, Ecuadorian Sumatra binder, and filler leaves from Nicaragua and Dominican Republic. Each size will be presented in 10-count boxes.
The new Acid Croqueta is two cigars in a single tube. The company bills it as 'One For Now, One For Later' and the tube contains a pair of 2.5 x 50 cigars with the unmistakable Acid infusion. The cigar has a San Andres Maduro wrapper over filler and binder from Nicaragua. They will have an MSRP of $8.40 per tube and be available to the public in April.
