It’s presented in chrome boxes of 20 cigars and was shown off at IPCPR 2019. The blend of the ACID 20 uses Mexican San Andres wrapper, Indonesian binder, and fillers from Nicaragua. The infusion details of the cigar were not disclosed but described as “truly unique, and worthy of the double decade title.” The boxes sell for $230.40 and ships in September.

Overall, I enjoyed this cigar. I would describe this cigar as mild-medium, with plenty of sweetness as you would find in most sweetened tip cigars. At the same time I would also say it has dry earthier tones that help to round it out. It exceeded my expectations, and I would smoke it again. If you typically smoke infused or mild cigars, my recommendation is to buy the box. If you aren’t, but like to toy with sweetened tips, buy a few and check them out. I should also mention the sweetness comes across slightly little different than most infused cigars I have smoked. It is different than an Acid Blondie or a Kuba Kuba, so don’t go into it expecting that kind of experience. I would say that it has much less of that infused effect, but still holds sweetness. While the draw and burn was on the average side, the ash was soft and broke very easily toward the beginning of the cigar, but became slightly firmer as the cigar burned further. I don’t typically smoke infused or flavored cigars, but this is one that in the right mood I could get into and enjoy.

While I don’t smoke that many ACIDs, this is one of the few times when I really felt like the flavoring was entirely on the tip. Normally, I find that even if the tip is sweetened, the rest of the cigar still has some signs of infusion. But with the ACID 20 Connecticut Toro, the sweetness was only added when I licked my lips or if my tongue touched the top of the cigar, and that created a pretty unique smoking experience. In a way, it’s like drinking a margarita with a salted rim—I could oftentimes pick whether or not I wanted the added flavor and how much. While I scored this cigar as basically a middle ground between the two options, I think it’s worth pointing out that if you want to, you can make this a pretty pedestrian cigar. Outside of the infusion, the rest of the cigar was one of the most consistent, linear and ho hum profiles I’ve smoked in quite some time. But when that was mixed with the sweetness—particularly in the first half—it changed a lot. I think the ACID 20 Connecticut is a great blend to give to someone who is not a regular cigar smoker and wants the infusion, but maybe doesn’t want the chocolate or coffee infusion that other cigars provide. If I had to pick an ACID, I’d probably reach for something a bit more dynamic.

This may sound crazy, but I truly believe the infused releases to honor 20 years of ACID are some of the best new cigars released this year. The ACID 20 smoked great in terms of draw and burn, and when I was done smoking I was happy with the experience. There was no level of disappointment, but pure enjoyment. Consistent, well made, flavorful and fun.
