Who can forget a name like Drew Estate’s ACID Extra Ordinary Larry? According to the powers that be at the company, this stick is the most botanically dense of all the brand’s ACID cigars.
As for the reason why ACID cigars are called ACID, they take their name from the business acronym of Brooklyn urban/industrial/graffiti/motorcycle artist Scott Chester (Arielle Chester Industrial Design, or A.C.I.D.), whose artwork graces all ACID cigar packaging. According to Chester, “The ACID concept represents a lifestyle intended to depict a person who’s not afraid to explore the Earth or explore life, whether on a motorcycle, or in his own thoughts and expressions.”
As ultra-hefty entrants in Drew Estate’s full-flavored ACID Purple grouping, Extra Ordinary Larry sticks are tied with the ACID Kuba Grandes for the title of the fattest ACID cigars (their ring gauge is 60, while the Larrys’ length is a respectable six inches). The quantity of smoke output is prodigious.
In the Extra Ordinary Larry, gently aged Nicaraguan binder and long-filler tobaccos are surrounded by a mottled Connecticut Broadleaf maduro wrapper to produce a sweet and spicy, medium-bodied, medium-to-full-strength stick that practically explodes with luscious chocolate, creamy mocha, black cherry and herbal flavors.
The rich, tasty, aromatic infusions of the Extra Ordinary Larry are acquired from all-natural botanicals and essential oils via a top-secret, patented process in dedicated curing rooms at Drew Estate’s sprawling Gran Fabrica cigar factory in Estelí, Nicaragua. According to company lore, only four people in the world know how the proprietary process works.
But suffice it to say that the draw on these solidly constructed, well-blended, behemoth smokes is large, the burn is even, and the lingering flavors are consistent from the first puff to the last. These sticks are good for an hour-and-a-half smoke, easily; they pair well with spirits or beers.
