Presentation and packaging is immaculate (as you’d expect from Drew Estate), with every tin arriving vacuum-wrapped with a complimentary Boveda pack. Burn time is average for a smaller cigar, ranging from 20-45 minutes, though you may get an hour with a more measured approach. Flavor-wise, the sweetened tip persists through the entire stick, blending nicely with simple notes of cedar, honey, mild spice, and incense. If you’re a fan of infused sticks and familiar with the advantages and shortcomings of cigarillos, your first tin of ACID Blue Connecticuts certainly won’t be your last. Just don’t rush it — especially in the final third. As with all cigarillos, impatient puffing can make things a bit bitter.
