ACID Extra Ordinary Larry

Description

The ACID Extra Ordinary Larry is a 6 x 60 cigar from Drew Estate’s ACID Purple collection, rolled with a Connecticut broadleaf maduro wrapper around a Nicaraguan binder and filler. Like every ACID, it is an infused, aromatic cigar, and the biggest of the four Purple sizes.

What It Tastes Like

We found no professional review of this size. Drew Estate pitches the Purple blends as rich and juicy, with layered aromatics resting on Nicaraguan tobacco. JR Cigar’s listing points to herbal notes, chocolate and black cherry, and puts the strength at medium to full.

Who It’s For

• ACID regulars who want something richer than the sweet, smooth ACID Blue sizes.
• Big-ring fans with an unhurried evening for a thick 60 gauge.
• Maduro smokers curious about aromatic curing on broadleaf.

Pros and Cons

Pros

• Connecticut broadleaf maduro wrapper over all-Nicaraguan tobacco
• The largest of the four ACID Purple sizes

Cons

• Aroma-cured leaf is a poor fit for purists who want plain, unflavored tobacco
• A 6 x 60 needs more time than a quick smoke allows

About the ACID Line

ACID is produced at La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate in Estelí, Nicaragua. JR Cigar notes that Jonathan Drew and Marvin Samel started Drew Estate in 1996; ACID now spans color-named collections such as Blue, Gold, Purple and Green.

Pairing and Storage

Drew Estate’s own picks for ACID Purple are iced tea and Moscato, a sweet white wine. To match strength instead, our cigar-and-drink matching guide steers medium smokes toward bourbon or espresso and fuller ones toward aged rum.
