News: Tabak Especial Lonsdale and ACID 20 Toro and Tubo Cigars

I’m cheating here with a Drew Estate twofer, it’s two in the infused lines and you know that’s not really my area of focus. All the info is here, I’m just conserving some time and energy. In my defense, I do enjoy the occasional Tabak Especial, and I have had one Acid 20 and thought it was pretty good.

Tabak Especial Goes Mad Elegant with New Lonsdale Size

Drew Estate announces today the release of the Tabak Especial Lonsdale line-extension in both Dulce and Negra. This release will be showcased on the upcoming Freestyle Live: Special Edition hosted on facebook.com/drewestatecigar on June 11^th from 7:00-9:00pm EST.

Historically, the “Lonsdale” size cigar has been underappreciated, especially in the United States. However, spark one up and you’ll see why it’s so loved with seasoned cigar enthusiasts … and the Tabak Especial Lonsdale is no exception. Perfect for pairing with your morning coffee, the Tabak Especial Dulce Lonsdale is a 6 ¾” x 44 vitola wrapped in a creamy Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, with lush Sumatran binder and rich Nicaraguan fillers. When you’re enjoying an after-dinner Espresso, however, you will want to grab a Tabak Especial Negra Lonsdale. This elegant smoke is wrapped in a very dense Maduro wrapper, and is the bold pick me up you need after a heavy dessert. Both Tabak Especial Lonsdale expressions are packaged in 10 count boxes, perfect for the grab and go.

From the Wynwood Safehouse, Jonathan Drew Founder and President of Drew Estate pontificates, “I remember back when we created the coffee infused space in like 2002, we used to tell dudes to burn one in the morning with their coffee … and they’d laugh at us … until they actually tried it. Then, they were like “wow, these Tabak are str8 fire.” So, here we are, 18 years later. We wanted to drop a Tabak Especial that’s really regal, something majestic and upscale, but it had to have a high wrapper component … and this forgotten Lonsdale size was the perfect selection. This royal Lonsdale’s got mad, heavy wrapper game and stupidity level taste, fresh gold elegance dripping all over that burner. Indeed, very proud to say that our gold gilded Lonsdale is pure class and satisfaction. On another note, its somewhat surprising to see just how many hard-core, full-bodied, strong cigar smokers really love our coffee infused selections, especially Tabak Especial. It’s all love.”

The Tabak Especial Lonsdale is available in both Dulce and Negra, packaged in 10 count boxes with an MSRP of $85.10 per box and are shipping in July.

ACID 20 Anniversary Line Grows with Release of “Toro” and “Robusto Tubo” Sizes

Drew Estate announces today the expansion of the ACID 20th Anniversary lineup with the addition of ACID 20 Toro and ACID 20 “Robusto Tubo.” These releases will be showcased on the upcoming Freestyle Live: Special Edition hosted on facebook.com/drewestatecigar on June 11th from 7:00-9:00pm EST.

In 2019, we celebrated an important milestone for Drew Estate with the global introduction of the chromed-out, smash hit, ACID 20 Anniversary. Now, by popular demand, we premier the ACID 20 Toro (6” x 50) as well as the original ACID 20 Robusto in a new Tubo presentation. Wrapped in a rich Mexican maduro capa, complimented with subtly evolving long filler leaves, ACID 20 is truly worthy of its double decade title.

From the Wynwood Safehouse, Jonathan Drew Founder and President of Drew Estate recalls, “When we released ACID Cigars in 1999, we felt like it was “us against the world.” They said that “we would be out of business in two months” and we even had a friend say “you won’t even last two weeks.” But we knew that we created something special, something beautiful … so we decided to fight for it and not look back. I think that the pain behind our struggle to survive for so many years made the debut of Acid 20 feel that much more impactful. We wish to thank those of you who took the journey by our side, 1400CC, pedal to the metal. Sincere appreciation for believing in us.”

The ACID 20 Toro (6”x 50) is packaged in 24 count boxes with an MSRP of $232.34/box and will be shipping in June.

The ACID 20 Robusto Tubo (5” x 50 box-pressed) is packaged in 5 count petaca box with an MSRP of $49.25/box and will be shipping in October.
