I know from the outset that this cigar won't appeal to the majority of forum members but Acid cigars are massive in the States so I was looking forward to this, their only non-aromatic cigar in the range. The filler is cured with five different red wines including a sangria. Pardon me? Sangria is a cocktail of wine, fruit and lemonade is it not? The wrapper is an aged Cameroon leaf with the colour of a Colorado Claro and a matte finish, it measures 5" x 54. The veins are visible but flush and the vitola is a torpedo with a 2" pigtail. Cute. The cigar is quite springy and soft at the cap and the wrapper gives off a pleasant mocha scent. Once cut the cold draw is very easy with a saccharin sweet flavour on the wrapper. Fortunately that passed quite quickly once lit and it produced lots of naturally sweet and mild smoke. Lighting was very easy; perhaps down to the soft foot, and it burned perfectly all the way to the end with no touch ups or relights required. The ash was a firm medium grey and didn't drop until half way done.
At the half way point I detected a hint of cappuccino in the flavour but never got any red wine notes. The last inch got a bit warm with a hint of pepper and a roasted almond taste and it lasted me 50 minutes but the overall experience was sweet, mild and creamy.
Would I buy this again? I'd have a box, I loved it.
