This Drew Estate Acid Krush Classic Gold Sumatra cigar is made in Nicaragua. Outside, you'll find a Sumatra wrapper. Inside, the binder is Nicaraguan, and the filler is Nicaraguan. This is a Cigarillo cigar with a length of 4.00 and a ring gauge of 32.
Drew Estate ACID Krush Classic Gold Sumatra cigars are smooth as silk.
In the color-coded world of ACID blends, gold bands indicate a nice light infusion with the goal of creating a relaxing smoke that’s very easy to enjoy. There are no bold flavors out of place and nothing challenging going on here. At the “ACID Waterpark,” Krush Classic Sumatra is the lazy river (while, on the other hand, the red-banded cigars are the 6-story suicide slides).
If you’ve had the ACID Blondie Gold, you already know what these cigars are like. The flavors and aromas are quite similar.
Drew Estate ACID Krush Classic Gold Sumatra cigars come in a very convenient tin. There’s a nice row of ten 4 x 32 cigarillos that are perfect for a short smoke break. Unlike other premium stogies, these are not meant to last for hours on end. Instead, you can light one up and fully enjoy it in 5-15 minutes, depending on how fast you smoke it. If you go from job site to job site for work, Krush Classics are a perfect drivetime cigar.
The ACID flavor profile is one of a kind. You really won’t get a smoke-like this anywhere else. Drew Estate keeps the exact process a secret, but we know that it involves over a hundred herbs, botanicals, and essential oils. There’s no dipping or injecting or syrups. Instead, the tobacco is infused with aromas and flavors in a method that is probably much more like aging cigars in bourbon barrels.
The filler is Nicaraguan, and the wrapper is a nice mild Sumatra. The flavors of an ACID are notoriously hard to nail down, but this one is light and floral, with notes of clove and vanilla. For many people, this is a go-to daily smoke that keeps things interesting and provides surprisingly high-quality smoke for a flavored cigar. There’s also a good dose of sweetness to make this quite different from the earthy profiles of the non-flavored traditional stogies in your humidor.
It’s a satisfying and fun quick smoke with a flavor you just can’t get anywhere else. Keep a tin in the glove box of your car or truck and you’re good to go.
