Acid Plush Maduro cigar review

Acid Plush Maduro cigar review

2/9/26

Not going to lie, I'm not really into the flavored cigars and I've smoked a few Acid smokes.  They've been popular for like 20 years.  Drew Estate makes some fine smokes. His Natural line have been good.  I think I've smoked one called Root that was pretty good. This one is same Robusto size but flavored.  I think it's a Connecticut broadleaf wrapper and the rest is Nicaraguan.  These are made in Esteli, Nicaragua. 

Perfect night for smoking. 55 degrees out, no wind.  Don't judge this one on how it smells. It smells awful. I've had it aging at least 5 years, so it should have settled down some on the funk. Hard to describe the smell. Like a mix of old gym clothes and the perfume from a cheap stripper. What's not to like? 

Wow, a ton of sweet flavor as soon as I light it. Like a Baccarat cigar that was dipped in sugar. Now it seems plugged but it's smoking like crazy but seems like I'm smoking through a filter. No smoke comes out of it unless I smoke the crap out of it. 

It's like smoking nothing for about 9 puffs and then finally, after about giving up, I get one good puff of smoke. Really just taste sweetness.  I could say it tastes like a really sweet herbal tea. I think I might taste some spice. 

It's smoking better now. Still not a lot of smoke. I think half of the flavor comes from the air pulled through the cigar and the other half from the smoke. So far, all I taste is sweet tea flavors and no tobacco flavors. 

Gotten better.  It's all smoke now. 30 mins in and it finally resembles a cigar.  Actually easy to smoke now.  Leaves a good  sweet spicy cedar flavor in your nose and mouth. Wish it started off like this. 

Got down to the last inch. Was getting pretty good but then got all harsh. Couldn't smoke it to the end so I put it out. 

I might smoke another if it was free, but probably would pass, even if free.  Just not for me.
