Acid Cold Infusion Tea

cold ..tea ahh huh

left me lacking quality
lonsdale shape makes for tough draw
nic leaf not sun ripenened to maturity .stale aftertaste

I tried a handful of different Acid cigars. This one was in the bottom two. While the flavor and aroma was plesant, the draw was horrible. When it died on me the third time, with more than a 1/3 to go, I tossed it. (and yes, the humidity was good at 68%). I would prefer the Kuba Kuba or the Blondie if I want to smoke a flavored cigar... but for me they arent everyday smokes.

Very nice draw and burn characteristics and a good value. The sort of fruit and pine elements were an interesting experience; for one time.

i had a good time with the XO larry, but this ruined the acid brand for me
it smelled pretty good before i lit it, but then i put it to my mouth to light it and the taste on the wrapper was way too overpowering.
i let it die and threw it away

I really love this cigar. Yeah, I know it's not for everybody. I GET THAT. However, I took a pal of mine from Scotland on a little five day canoeing expedition into the wild. He liked cigars and we smoked quite a variety. He's a good friend so I didn't hold back on the good stuff. Finally, I gave him a couple of Cold Infusion Tea gars and I thought he was going to wet his pants trying to find where he could order these. Another unsolicited testamony, Whooohaaa!

I tried this on a recommendation of a few friends of mine. They make it out to be "the only cigar worth smoking." Pre-light smelled a bit like an incense stick. Burn was atrocious, and the flavor was even worse. I like a cigar to taste like a cigar, not like candy. I'll stick with the Kuba Kubas

Disappointed with this one. Almost like smoking a bubble gum cigarette when I was a kid. A big fat no on this one.

What a great Summer Cigar! I smoked this baby on a canoe trip on a sunny day in June and what an enjoyable experience. The taste was sweetly refreshing. This is my second rating of this cigar and I thought it was better than the first! I experienced good construction, terrific taste and it even looks good! Still a bit on the expensive side.

Not the best looking cigar, kinda veiny with a few dark spots. Pre-light it smelled a little sweet. Once I light up, it was a mild, smooth cigar. A light, sweet, tea like taste. Finished nicely, got a bit stronger near the end, but never got hot. I will be smoking more of these.

I am sad to say it, those fine folks at Drew Estate really failed me here. This one simply didn't do it for me taste wise, and I couldn't seem to get as much smoke as with some of the others of the Acid line(probably because its so thin). I think I am going to stick with the Kuba Kuba, but I could possibly try some of the other "remi" line

I love cigars. My curiosity was killing me about these things so I tried one. I liked it. The cold infusion tea was not as overpowering as its pre-light aroma suggested. The smoke was a pleasant mild change. I wouldn't purchase a whole box of them, nor did I let it even take a nap in my humidor next to my 'real' smokes. The construction was solid and it was just an overall nice smoke. I will probably try others in the ACID line, but only every once in a while. I don't get enough chances to smoke my fine cigars, and when I do, I prefer something unflavored.

It has a nicer scent than the almost overpowering (at times) clove scented blue label line (Kuba Kuba, Blobdie, kong) but ts far too mild for my tastes. This would make a great early morning smoke but beyond that this one's for nOOb's only. This is the second line I've tried and have found acid to be very well constructed with great marketing. I like anything that goes against tradition and acid certainly does. I'll be trying their "earth" line next. Hopefully that'll have a bit more of a kick.

I just wish they weren't so darn expensive.

In my opinion, the CIT is the next best in the Acid line from Acid One. the sweetness that doesn't get tiring over a while and that doesn't stink either. Strong tobacco aswell , makes this a very fun cigar to spend a good time.

I've heard people use words like "peaces", "tea" and "minty" when describing this, but what I tasted was nasty and charred tobacco. This was awful, I was totally expecting something sweet and maybe even menthol-cool like but instead I got something that tasted like those nasty things that old folks in Florida smoke that cost like 10 cents even in today's money.

In my opinion, the CIT is the best in the Acid line. the sweetness that doesnt get tiring over a while and that doesnt stink either. Strong tobacco aswell , makes this a very fun cigar to spend a good time.

This cigar was interesting to say the least. This cigar was very mellow tasting, actually too mellow. Had a sweet tea flavor at first that turned bitter towards the end. The draw on this cigar was ridiculous. It burned fairly even but produced very little smoke. I guess if you like a very mellow cigar that has a sweet side, this would be a great one to try, but this one wasn't very enjoyable to me. Luckily, I got it as a hand out from a drew estate rep. I definitely wouldn't pay the $6.99 price tag this one has in our local shops. I was a big fan of acid before I was turned on to the cigar world outside of acid. Much better can be had for the money. This was the last of my acid cigars, and I will not be purchasing more.

The last four or five reviewers have this cigar covered. I might disagree slightly on rating numbers, but I concur that the CIT is a light, refreshing, and flavorable change of pace. My favorite Acid Cigar to date, and yes it is a bit too expensive.

Another great Acid smoke, leaving me to believe, that while Blondies remain my strong favorite, the yellow line of Acid seems to be the most consistently enjoyable. This goes hand in hand with Earthiness and while the flavor of the Earthiness is still probably the most potent of the line, Cold Infusion Tea's flavor is right on par and is just sweet, mellow, and relaxing with just the right amount of exotic kick to keep things interesting. Increases in strength towards the end to make it a delicious finger-burner.

This cigar (and the whole ACID line) is clearly a "love it or hate it" proposition. I guess I am in the former category. Reluctantly, I decided to try one, thinking it would be like those awful "flavored cigars". Well, it isn't. The pre-light aroma is aromatic and a little floral. The construction is ok - it is packed a little loose and consequently burns fast. The taste? Very little tobacco taste, just quite herby and cool. Almost minty with a floral overtone. I keep some in my humidor for when I want something unusual. Non-smokers will compliment you on the aroma.

In my opinion, the CIT is the best in the Acid line.Just the right sweetness , and that type of sweetness that doesnt get tiring over a while and that doesnt stink either. Strong tobacco aswell , makes this a very fun cigar to spend a good time.

Preface: I'm a cigarette smoker, plus I chew smokeless and leaf, in additiond to my cigar habit.
In short, anyone who likes flavor, not that cherry filtered style of flavor, but real flavor, will love the Cold Infusion, as the taste is very much flavored like a Backwoods - strong but allows the tobacco to come through even stronger. It would be interesting to see what these are like after aging, but fresh they are dynamite, but not as far out as you might think.

i stuck my lips on this cigar and just gasped in astonishment, it tasted so much like tea to me. i lit up and the body of the smoke was hardier than the blondie i had, could actually taste the smoke a bit. it was constructed well burned nice and cool. a very good flavored cigar.

I generally like Acid but the ring gauge is to small for this cigar. The taste is OK just not great.

Good flavor, good construction, good burn

A Kick@ass smoke. Sweet tip, nice aroma, creamy and smooth. One of the best I've had so far in the Acid line. Slight unravelling after cutting but held up pretty well and burned even throughout, this seems to be a trait with all Acid's though. As with all Acid's they are a bit overpriced for the overall quality.

The added flavoring in this cigar was nice at first, but became too much after a while. I felt as if I were smoking a perfume bottle. Otherwise, the cigar was well constructed and burned nicely.

Great smoke for the occasional smoker. Smooth w/ a good flavor. A good cigar to introduce you to the Acid line.

I found this cigar to be pleasant, but not extraordinary. It was a very mild, relaxing smoke though, and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending it. The draw was good and it was well constructed. The value isn't great, but isn't bad. The one problem I have with Acid cigars is that because I will not put them in my humidor (because of the marriage between my other cigars and Acid), they tend to dry out if I don't smoke them quickly.

A more mild of the Acid line, it is a good choice if you want to ease your way into the brand. Hints of peach and a nice cool smoke make it very pleasent.

The cigar was a gift that I eagerly anticipated because of my enjoyment of the other cigars in the Acid line. However, the Cold Infusion Tea was somewhat disappointing because it was bland in comparison to other Acid cigars. The cigar had a nice look to it and was well constructed, but it was the most normal of the abnormal cigars that I have smoked from Drew.

Finally a cigar I can smoke infront of my wife or other anti-cigar people...Ha.Ha.Ha.

The name is correct "Cold Tea" Very refreshing
and sweet, nice draw and great smelling smoke 🙂

this cigar burned a long time for me, i watched almost a whole hockey game while smoking this one. a lot of people in the bar asked me what i was smoking. beautiful aroma. put off a thicker smoke cloud than i'm used to, but at least it smelled good! very recommended. next to acid freedom flight, may well be my 2nd favorite acid cigar.

This is one of the first Drew Estates cigars that I've tried, and the first smoke that I've had where people have asked me what it was.

It's not your usual run of the mill cigar, but when I want a smoke, I want a smoke...wife doesn't mind it, and restauranters/diners don't mind it either. They say it's not a typical cigar smell, which it isn't.

I've had a few of these since, and the draw(s) have been consistent...good. Dunno about the peach cobbler description, but it sure is a sweet - aromatic one.

Want to have a cigar that won't "offend" other people? Nothing beats one of my Onyx, "O", or Cohiba's. But then again, Drew doesn't produce just a normal cigar. Still, I give the highest praise to them for experimenting and producing what I feel is a top notch product. I wonder what an "Egg" Cohiba would be like? Ah well. Dare to be different!



PS: Hehehe! Cat's hind side, eh Muldar? <=0)

Ahhh... This was a gift and I am really glad I didnt pay anything for it. Not sure what it was...I was envious of my cat, as I saw him licking his hind side. This is an UNIQUE taste.
*COUGH*

made well, sweet taste. good gift. i didn't like the hard draw wrapped tight.

The Acid brand cigar ( Cold Infusion Tea ) has a crisp taste and mellow draw. Stayed lit and burned evenly. Quenching like a cold ice tea on a hot summers day. Not overpowering. The botanical additives gives this cigar a unique flavor.

Too sweet, but pleasant aroma
