"Drew Estate delivers a breakthrough"
Out of 10, with 1 being unacceptable and 10 being superb (the target is 100 yds. away, moving, and the cigar hits the bullseye!). Construction: 8; Good draw throughout. A burn issue about half-way through required some touch-up. Appearance: 9 a visibly attractive cigar. Flavor: 10; This is a bad analogy, but it's like: drinking a good cola for 10 years and discovering 7Up. Some people will object to the flavor others will find the change welcome and refreshing. Value: 10; I think I paid $6-7 at a local Davidus. It was worth every penny. If you enjoy a change of pace from your usual cigar or are willing to try something new, buy an ACID Kuba Kuba. Love it or hate it, you'll be wiser for it.

"Awesome"
These cigars are Drew Estate at it's finest. Some have complained about construction or draw, but I've never had a problem with these in the past. The sugary wrapper is a signature of the ACID line. I personally like it. That's not to say that I don't enjoy an Esplendido (the real deal) or a real top-notch traditional cigar from my humidor, but the ACID is a change of pace. Chalk all differences up to that. They're not trying to be Ashton or Graycliff or Padron.
The aroma from the dark, oily wrapper is a lot stronger than your average stick, but again it's a Drew Estate. It's an over the top stick with a not-so-over the top price tag. Burn, draw, consistency all are excellent. I think a lot of guys on here dismiss these because they're flavored cigars, so they must be crap right? Bottom line: These are very good cigars if you're looking for something different. If you don't like flavored cigars, don't buy them.

"A luscious taste that grows on you"
These cigars are not flavored, they as enhanced to accentuate the real tabacco flavor. This cigar is like a drug to me and I just cannot get enough of them.
