Description
The ACID Kuba Kuba Maduro is a 5 x 54 robusto from Drew Estate’s infused ACID line, rolled with a dark Connecticut broadleaf wrapper (per Holt’s) around Nicaraguan tobacco (per Famous Smoke Shop). Drew Estate files it under ACID Blue, its aromatic, infused range, so a sweet botanical note sits on top of the tobacco.
What It Tastes Like
We found no published critic score for this cigar. Drew Estate tags its ACID Blue group, which includes this one, as relaxed, smooth and sweet. Famous Smoke Shop calls the Maduro an earthier, richer version of the standard Kuba Kuba that tastes sweet and spicy and burns evenly, and rates it medium in strength. Cigora, a Cigar.com site, describes it as a rich, forceful smoke.
