A Great (though pricey) Cigar!

Acid Blue Kuba Kuba Natural 5x54 $8.00

Construction:
Excellent. Firm, smooth, attractive. The crown was so well mated to the cigar I couldn’t even see it. Beautiful, smooth, natural brown wrapper- flawless. 5

Lighting: Slightly fat for my double guillotine cutter, the crown still sliced nicely, and the cigar remained wrapped perfectly. Lit perfectly, stayed lit perfectly to the end. Beautiful, thick, white grey ash insisted on falling off at ¾ inch, but otherwise this cigar burned and drew superbly. 5

Flavor: The beautiful aroma of sweet clove (see comments about Acid cigars) hit me before I could even light the cigar, then while smoking slowly gave way to dark chocolate/coffee. This cigar taste great to a nub. I hated to let it go. 5

Comments: Acid cigars are famous for their use of herbs, oils, and botanicals to flavor their cigars. I wasn’t sure I’d like that,…but, I did. A wonderful cigar. Unfortunately, it’s so pricey I won’t smoke one often, but I will be back for more eventually.

Overall: 91
Value Rating: 91-8=83
Recommendation: Highly Recommended
